When the basil is overwhelming in the vege garden... it's time to make pesto! Featuring Craig's famous garlic from the garden 🤌

This was my first time trialling a pepita/sunflower seed mix over using pinenuts or my normal go to cashews, and I was very happy with the result.

Let me know if you'd like the recipe.

PS. We've still got some garlic and will have some at the in the morning (25/4).

Cheers,
Jess
