A few months ago, my family was calling my plant area the graveyard because my plants unfortunately had a rough winter. Now my basil plant, that I literally grew from some tiny seeds and a plant growing kit that Ty gave me for Christmas is THRIVING. All this fresh basil called for a good pesto recipe, so here ya go!
