Harvesting Basil in Arizona

I planted some basil seeds around my avocado tree this summer to help keep the roots cool, and it worked great for that, and also gave me a great basil harvest.  The plants are almost as tall as my 4 foot tall avocado tree.  I bet they are at least three feet tall, and haven't even started to go to seed yet.  I think basil likes summer in Arizona.


Summer gardening in Arizona is fun and rewarding, but it’s hot work, so a swimsuit is required for a quick dip in the pool here and there.




Not a bad harvest for plants that I didn't expect to survive here.


Now it's time to make some pesto.
