With the warm weather comes basil and garlic scapes. Here is a recipe to use both. We gave a box today in the pick-up with the last of the garlic scapes.
PESTO
In food processor puree:

1 quart of basil leaves loosely packed and 2-3 garlic scapes
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup ground almonds
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

We have a had a busy month visiting with our daughter, Ellen and son-in-law, Aaron with granddaughter, Della who came for her first birthday. Della learned to walk while she was at the farm and enjoyed all the animals and strawberries!IMG_9368
