The cold weather is coming to Texas, albeit briefly. My basil plants turn black if it dips below 40 degrees, so this year I harvested it all before it could turn. There isn’t that much, but enough to make Thai Chicken Basil (I made it a couple weeks ago and so the basil reserves were low anyway).

I enjoy the coloration of the red basil, the purple and green are pretty in the garden. Basil is one of the few things I can actually grow!
