My chore for today was weeding. While we were away last week, my gardens exploded! I don't know how they did it, since everything was so dry, but they simply doubled in size.....the weeds too!
Sunday, I'll have to continue the job I started. Actually, I'll have to weed or do maintenence on a daily basis for the forseeable future; there's just too much yard for one person.
The best part of today was walking through the herb garden, to determine what needs to be done. Everything needs a haircut......maybe even a buzz cut! The basil is just coming to the point where I need to do a serious harvest. If I top the plant, I should get a bushier plant, and I might be able to delay its flowering. Most culinary herbs need to be harvested before they flower to have the best flavor.
One of the first things I posted when I started blogging was a recipe for Farmer's Tomato pie. This is a rustic pie made from fresh tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, and topped with torn basil leaves. It tastes like summer, melting in your mouth. The recipe is posted here on May 16, 2003, in case this link doesn't work. Give it a try....it makes a wonderful simple supper.
