@hmmcdon Your very welcome, thank YOU for taking the time to comment. i got my third batch out of those plants, using bunya nuts in place of pine nuts. We're much the same, we use it in most things. There's a beautiful smell comes out of the bag of frozen pesto every time we open it. I thought we had enough for 3 yrs. I think it might be like 18 mths.,the way we're using it. I got a heap of bunya nuts, we've been giving them a fair nudge the last few weeks. Ah well, thanks again. cheers

Great Vid! I never had much luck with basil, both in Qld and Victoria. Love pesto though. Maybe 1 day.

@redcrystal69 Thanks for that red, same here, it took me a while to work it out. Let me know if you want to have another go. You'll have plenty of time to contemplate as I wouldn't advise planting til next August. Great to hear from you, take care. cheers.

@jihadacadien Thanks PainChaud, I hope you try it sometime. The smell of the bags of frozen pesto in the freezer is fantastic. Your gnocchi looks pretty good. cheers

[jihadacadien]

Wow this looks pretty tasty!!!

@theracemixer Hi there, thanks for that, I got a bumper crop of spuds, so when their finished, I'll have a go at some pasta, yes, I believe it goes well on pasta. I just got back from sea, my basil's looking good to power on for the next batch. It's good to go away for about 5 days & come back to see how things have grown. Well, thanks again, cheers for now.

You should try it on pasta ( a substitution to pasta sauce)
