Crop of basil to freeze


This is some basil I picked today. I'm going to freeze the leaves in pots, as they are, and see how it goes. I wish I had even smaller pots, because I am guessing the leaves will get so compacted that we won't be able to pick only a few each time, but maybe this will work. The basil is growing happily in pots in the patio and these are only the tips, I reckon I will get another crop before the summer is over. Maybe next time I will try a different preserving method.

Cosecha de albahaca, para el congelador. Voy a probar a congelar las hojas en esos botes de plastico, son un poco grandes para una racion, pero con suerte podremos sacar solo una parte de cada vez. A ver. Aun tengo las plantas en la terraza y creo que me daran otra cosecha este verano, la proxima vez pruebo otra manera de conservarla.
