Welcome to the Farm to Body Wellness Podcast.

This week the episode is related to the RAM Recipe of the month. I had a basil plant that was extremely large and it seemed about time to cut it back. I have been on a kick of making sauces and spreads recently. Chili Garlic Oil, Chimichurri, Teriyaki Sauce, recently Roasted Garlic, and not Pesto. As with prior episodes, I talk more about the plant and how it grows in addition to the recipe. Basil is near and dear to my heart, so this episode has a lot of history involved in it. 

While there are a lot of different varieties of basil, the main variety that we see here in the United States is going to be either Genovese or Sweet Basil. If you are a new gardener and are looking to get started in something that is edible, easy to grow, and has a lot of versatility, basil might be the one you should start with. As I talk about in the episode, you can buy it as a start or as a seed and can propagate it quite a bit. Additionally, the recipe will be out on August 1st, on the website and it will be in the RAM Newsletter in the coming weeks for the month of August. 

Sit back, take a deep breath, and Let's Dig In.
