The garden has declared that tonight is pesto gnocchi night.

Somehow my basil made it much longer than usual without bolting this year. I'll have to figure out what we did right, because it's been a glorious basil harvest all summer.

@dave_andersen tell me your secrets, if you ever figure it out

@molly0xfff there were a few differences this year to tease out:
1) The basil was under the solar panels so it was shaded at noon.

2) We went on vacation earlier this year so it didn't dry out in August as much as it usually was.

3) I harvested it more frequently.

Alas, I changed three variables at once...

@dave_andersen those all sound like plausible factors!
