10. We Had A TERRIBLE Year For Basil

We've planted basil for 15 years & always got plenty.
Even put some in ice trays, filled with water, and froze them, that gave us more or less, fresh basil through the winter.
For some reason we got a rotten yield & the plants kept withering.
Did nothing different.
I'm jealous of your good crop. We'd have 5 trays a basic cubes if we had a good year like you.
