I have been going to Tanglewood for years too. Love that place. I have never bought my basil there. I will have to buy it there next year for sure. Wow! Amazing!! I wonder why the pots in the front didn’t do well… I’m glad you ended up with a nice plant in the back at least. That salad looks fabulous. I love pesto and pasta! Can’t wait to try it out. Yummy!!

What a great story, Allie! I don’t know what it is, but our basil doesn’t do to well. Maybe there is something I don’t understand about growing this herb. Or maybe we need to pay Tom a visit. 😉 Nonetheless, I do love basil and this sure sounds like a refreshing summer salad! Glad you are enjoying this glorious season. What a pity it goes so fast! Have a fantastic weekend! Xoxo

Oh wow – Allie – you sure had some bionic basil this summer! That’s amazing that it survived that stint in the hot car and then came back! My mind’s blown! My garden, on the whole, has been a lot less prolific than in the last few years – though am betting your bionic basil would sprout like weeds in it! BTW, Tom sounds like he is one heck of a fabulous lip reader indeed!
My daughter adores fresh basil and tomatoes in pasta salad – she would go completely gaga for this one! Thanks lady. Happy Wednesday to you!

So the nursery where you get your seeds and herbs sounds amazing! Fresh pierogi?! OMG, YESS! I’m pierogi obsessed, so I’d go there daily just for that. lol Anyways, love your basil story! That basil is definitely bionic!! I’ve never seen basil die and they come back to life once… let alone numerous times! I can only imagine how delish it tastes!! Love this pasta salad, Allie!! Caprese anything makes me swoon, so you can bet I’m drooling over here! This would be so perfect for a BBQ… you know, if I didn’t eat it all first!! 🙂 Cheers, dear! xoxo

In reply to Susie Mandel.

Oh Susie – that is so funny. I never thought about THAT — that certain farmer at my house. Yes, that is a distinct possibility! I will have to investigate.

Yum! I have more basil than I know what to do with, and this sounds delicious. I don’t think I have bionic basil, though, hee-hee. I was thinking your story might have led to a certain farmer in your house who decided to transplant some of your sprouts. 😉 Oh, and by the way, I’ve had pierogi before. A friend’s cousin who moved here from NJ had a catering business nearby and made them. They are delicious!
