On a late July day when the temperature was expected to be in the nineties under a sunny sky, I thought it would be a good idea to dry some basil!
Earlier in the spring, I started basil form seed in an improvised cherry tomato container! The basil grew quickly and before long, I was able to transfer some to a spot in a cold frame out in the front yard! That was in April and now in late July my three or four plants are being harvested and dried in the sun!
By the end of the season, sometime in August, I will have enough dried basil to meet my culinary needs all winter long!

Tomatoes coming on strong!
I
harvested a decent tomato on July 8th.
It measured about three inches in diameter and weighed seven ounces!
So, while it was by no means a Whopper, it still worked nicely as a welcome addition for a hamburger I cooked on the grill! Sorry, I have no idea as to the variety...
