You Can’t Bring That In Here!

Occasionally this happens.  The harvest manager has to help  the gardener keep things in perspective.  This happened just the other day when the gardener completed the final harvest of Thai basil and brought the abundance into the kitchen.

You can’t bring that in here!

Ordinarily I wouldn’t be so blunt, but dinner preparations were well under way.  I literally had asked for about two tablespoons of basil to go in the vegetarian chili.  Imagine my surprise when he came in with this.  Happily he saw reason and after I harvested a handful of leaves, he took the basil back outside.  Sometimes harvest management means just saying no.
