Last batch of pesto

Finally got around to making the last two batches of pesto today.

Total pesto for the year was 7 x small (150ml-ish) jars, at a rate of 1 full-grown basil plant per jar.

Lettuce

After a special request from the management I've sprinkled more mesclun seed this evening, along with Paris White Cos Lettuce and Danyelle Lettuce (both organic seeds from Kings Seeds).

I'm sure the urge for lettuce will have passed long before they're ready, and that's assuming they don't end up drowned in a wet autumn!

Beetroot

Yesterday I harvested half a dozen beetroot. These had been sitting there for quite a while because I forget about them, but everything worked out fine - they were a good size but not too big for my stock pot, and they were tasty once cooked up.

I've only done two batches of pesto so far, but hope to do another two today.
