While you have all of that basil in the garden, make pesto base by blending the leaves with some oil and garlic and throw it in the freezer. Long after you garden is a memory you'll be able to enjoy a batch of home made pesto -- thaw, add cheese and nuts etc. whenever the pesto mood strikes.
Freeze in containers or sandwich bags in about the amount you'd use for one batch.

Of course during the summer you'll want to just make it fresh. :D
