I picked up a stalk of red basil at the farmer's market last Wednesday. I don't think it's going to make it.
I planted it in the herb pot with my other basil, but the leaves fell off pretty quickly and the trunk is pretty frail looking. I'm not giving up hope because I know how strong basil can be. My indoor basil has been growing like crazy since I turned off the aerogarden light for summer. It's not getting as much light as I thought it would need, but apparently it likes that. Soon I'll have enough for some pesto. Pesto with walnuts most likely instead of pinenuts.
I'm debating buying another red basil, or maybe purple basil, tomorrow at the farmer's market, but I don't know if it's such a good idea.
Today, I'll have to swing by the produce stand at city market for an avacado. I'm not sure what the menu is for dinner tonight, but I saw this recipe for corn and avocado salsa. It looked amazing.
