What do you do when you have basil that needs trimming every day and you have already dried enough to last the next year? You bake some bread and make Panzanella.

Cost per person: $3 because red and yellow bell peppers are expensive.

    It’s trying to bolt so I have to remove the heads each day. And it’s being so prolific that if I don’t pull leaves every day it will be wasted. But picking leaves off of your basil is essential to a healthy basal plant. You can let him just grow and they might look great but if you pull some leaves off everyday it becomes hyper productive.
