I am currently growing lemon basil and have harvested a lot for salads and garnishes for tomatoes etc. My biggest producers this year have been various
kinds of lettuces, Swiss chard and kale. I hope to plant the peach trees I grew from seed outdoors next year in a hedge of 4 small trees.
Good to know about the basil. Now I know why mine always dies. I will look for this variety!!
In response to Carrie,
Avocado trees, and their flowers more specifically, are capable of self-pollination; therefore, avocado trees will produce just fine as single trees.
We appreciate you engaging in our community!
Great video. Don’t you need 2 trees for avocados to produce fruit?
Basil, a few varieties, I love making pesto. Also spinach, love to eat them fresh in smoothies and in recipies, as well as freeze in bags for winter season. I am so lucky I came across your website, Stacey, you give so much positive energy, love for gardening and awesome tips!!! I’m soon starting my second season of gardening all excited!!!
Best fast food for me, scallions, the variety that multiplies itself. Get some established and you have fresh scallions for life! Always ready. Thank you Stacey for all you do! I love your work.
Could you please share your pesto recipe. Thanks.
