Geodes can be found all over the world. Areas with the most geodes, however, tend to be deserts, volcanic ash beds, or areas with plentiful limestone. In the United States, for example, you can find plenty of geodes in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.
Water and Sunlight. Basil plants are low-maintenance and do not require much care. What little care they require, however, is important to keeping the herb healthy and the foliage supple. Too much water, too little water and lack of sun will turn the basil leaf tips brown and cause them to curl. Basil -- whether growing indoors or out -- requires at least six hours of full sun to keep it healthy.
1 Puree: Use a food processor to puree the fresh basil leaves with olive oil. 2  Use 1 tablespoon of olive oil per 1 cup of basil. 3  Freeze: Freeze the pureed basil in an ice cube tray, then store in a large resealable plastic bag or freezer-safe container.. Freeze the leaves whole. You can use frozen basil exactly as you would with fresh leaves. The leaves will shrink as they freeze, so cup for cup, plan to use slightly less than if you were cooking with fresh basil.
