Our fresh herbs are flourishing now that the art of ruthless pruning has been learnt and applied. Hil's harvest this week supplied Pat and Rob at the local general store in Lilydale with mint, lemon mint, Vietnamese mint, parsley, Italian parsley and oregano. And we turned some of Alan's basil from last week's hilbarn box into pesto:Blend together 115g Parmesan cheese, 115g pine nuts, 25g basil leaves, 2 cloves garlic, 75ml olive oil, adding salt if desired.
Top Tip: Margaret Picton, noting in The Book Of Magical Herbs, writes basil repels mozzies. Just crush a basil leaf and rub the juice onto your skin.
