We picked our first big picking of the summer! I was surprised and so very thankful on this blessing. It was so dry for so long, I did water the garden where I could, but still that is not the same as a good rain. Anyways, surprisingly we are harvesting a good crop of corn. This was just a start, we have more to pick tomorrow! Thank you, Lord!
I also picked basil and made a batch of pesto. I am hoping to make a few more, I'm freezing it and looking forward to enjoying it all winter. :) It is so delicious on tomato sandwiches. :) Here is the recipe if you are interested. :)
Pesto Recipe
2 c. basil leaves
1 c. almonds
3/4 c. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 lrg. cloves of garlic (or to taste)
parsley & oregano (optional)
Process in blender till smooth
Tomorrow I hope to make more pesto, freeze more corn and pick tomatoes to make salsa. Sounds like another busy day! The Lord is good!

Oh your corn looks yummy! And basil, mmmm! I'm planting some next year! I loooove pesto. How do you keep the slugs away from the basil?
So far I haven't had any problem with slugs. I have so much basil, I don't know how I'm going to use it all, one can only eat so much pesto. :) Maybe I'll have to try drying it as well. :)
Thanks for stopping by! :)
Thanks for the pesto recipe! Next year I'll have to do that; I never know what to do with all the extra basil.
