August gardening tips: Harvest festival
Harvest and Store
August 25, 2008
Holidays are over, this was my personal harvest festival:
 Aromatic herbs from my garden; basil, marjoram, sage, balm, tarragon, green shishito peppers and the beautiful lemon grass.

 Peppers from my rooftop: red and green peter pepper, peruvian collnew and many others.
 What have I done with my harvest? Chilies and herbs have been dryed, freezed, pickled... and eaten.
Storing chili peppers
 Fresh garlic and basil, pinenuts, olive oil, grated parmesan... this gnocchi with pesto recipe was quick and unforgetable! Next year I have to grow more basil.
