Get a *BURST* of color with Zinnias! They are one of the easiest annuals to grow, grow quickly, and bloom heavily. What more could you ask for? They grow in full sun and in any type of soil, except overly moist. Deadheading them is recommended to keep their bloom going and going until frost.

We still have a great selection of basil for making pesto! Here's a great recipe for you to try!
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup pine nuts
2/3 cup olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and finely ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino cheese
Combine the basil, garlic and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add 1/2 cup of the olive oil and process until fully incorporated and smooth. Season with salt & pepper. If using immediately, add the rest of the oil and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and add the cheese. If freezing, transfer to a large freezer safe container and drizzle the remaining oil over the top. You can freeze it up to 3 months. When ready to serve, thaw out and add the cheese.
Happy Gardening,
Timothy Serinese
