It's going to do what???

So they are calling for some sort of 'major' winter weather event on Saturday.  In October.  In VA.  This is not acceptable.  I still have mountains of basil, plants loaded with eggplant, peppers in the garden, etc.

Maybe some of it will survive, but we all know the basil is a tender, temperamental plant.  I think it is best to just rip it out of the ground and let it go ahead and fulfill it's Pesto Destiny.   So that is what I did.

Bowls of pesto became ice cube trays of pesto, which are now tucked away in my freezer.
