I like the purple for adding to flower bouquets and it smells so good!

This season I am growing regular sweet Basil and a new cultivar called ‘Limoncello’ which is a very pungent lemon basil.

From Burpee:

A few years ago I started making my Pesto with Kale instead of Basil. I like both, but the Kale Pesto is so awesome tasting! I’ll experiment with blending Kale and the Limoncello Basil together this season. Pesto freezes well, so having that fresh Summer taste in the middle of Winter is wonderful. :)

I have the ‘Love and Lemons’ cookbook and that’s where I found the Kale Pesto idea. Lots of variations to make:
