Greek Basil Topiary

As the wise Dorothy once said, "there's no place like home".  

'Tis true - I am a homebody.  After a very busy month

 with lots of travel, most recently a soccer

tournament in San Diego this past weekend, I am home 

for the remainder of the summer. Woop!

On my trip to Trader Joe's on Tuesday to stock

a neglected pantry, I discovered they were carrying

these Greek Basil Topiaries!  

I first bought one of these little cuties at Home Depot back

in the spring.  I enjoyed it's fragrance in my kitchen and

cutting it's petite basil leaves for use in any

recipe that called for traditional basil.

With my tomato plants beginning to produce, this pretty

plant will be fun to use in my favorite caprese salads!
