The basil has gone leggy and herby and almost too sharp. The tomato vines are heavy enough that they're leaning on their cages. The calendula are tilted toward whatever good light is left. Andy's mom turns most of it into pesto and salsa. We turned the smell of the garden right before all that into a bar of soap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent is honest about what it is. \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/ingredients\/organic-sweet-basil-essential-oil\"\u003eSweet basil essential oil\u003c\/a\u003e for the green sharpness that you only get from a real basil leaf bruised between two fingers.
