can someone tell me what is happening to my basil plants, and what i can do to fix it:



also, these seedlings were transplanted to pots 2-3 weeks ago. will it be okay to move them again, this time to the ground?

You are supposed to use the balsamic after you cut the leaves.

Looks like it might have been put out in the elements before it was properly “hardened off” (slowly acclimated to direct sun, drying wind). Also, looks like it could use some nitrogen (from fertilizer); it's awfully yellowish for basil.

Or maybe it's been overwatered.

I'm growing sugar snap peas this year; first time. They're like two feet high, and no visible flowers! How come????

i think overwatering/waterlogging may have been the culprit. i turned them out of their pots and into the ground two days ago, and the soil in the pots was just soaked. the leaf blackening has gone away, and the yellowing seems confined to the bottom of the plants.

did i mention i'd been recycling pots with soil without prepping them in any way?

Just do what GGMora says and don't argue. Recycled pots with old soil? Never heard of rotating crops? Soil depletion? You will soon be in MNPLS and plants will be safe from you at least half the year. Maybe.
