Pesto 2016

Pesto 2016

My basil plants are growing like weeds! This is the third batch of pesto I've made this year. With all the wild critters in the area (deer, gophers, rabbits and squirrels) I have a much smaller garden than I would like. Everything has to be grown in huge pots because I never know when a rogue gopher will tunnel in. After 3 years of battling the pests, looks like they have decided it's not worth the effort to go through the daffodils or horseradish barriers I've planted. I trapped a lot of them early on and because of the drought the surrounding hills have nothing growing on them.
