Fabulous herb haul

As usual herbs seem to be doing the best in my yard. I picked a bunch of spearmint and a bunch of oregano to dry, as well as some nasturtium flowers. I made sun tea from chocolate mint and another batch from Thai basil, and then everything else (parsley, 3 kinds of basil, a few nasturtium leaves, and some tarragon) went into the blender for a batch of pesto. I didn't have "perfect" ingredients on hand but I used pre-grated parmesan, vegetable oil, sliced almonds, and salt, because that is what I had. My garlic isn't quite ready to harvest so I left that out; hopefully I'll get more herbs in quantity to make basil with.
