Planting an organic garden with mulch for yummy pesto.

I have just planted some young basil plants, according to the strategies outlined in the organic gardening website for vegetables: www.organicfoodsforless.info. I will feed them some garden mulch from our kitchen, and watch them grow and harvest the leaves for a wonderful raw foods pesto that I make, along with cold-pressed olive oil, raw pine nuts (or pistachios) fresh organic lemon juice and rind, a bit of unheated raw honey, and voila! Very yummy to use with raw meats and fishes or avocados or with guacamole, or as a condiment on top of almost anything!

This method of organic gardening with mulch is really suitable for different kinds of vegetables that can be grown in most any climate and soil conditions, and with so little maintenance. Happy gardening and buon appetite!
