I'm growing fresh basil on my back porch. Want some?

Andrea said...

of course! I bought a shitload of green beans today on supersale to make dilly green beans. I'll trade you a pint for some basil!

Andrea-When you and Ira come up to visit, you are going home with lots of vegetables and other yummy things to eat! Looking forward to seeing you-Janice

my goodness. I'm so honored! You simply must pass me the recipe for dilly green beans! My dill exploded in the garden and I just don't know what to do with it...
