Q.Basil Has Some Tan Spots

Anonymous added on April 30, 2011 | Answered

I just planted some small basil plants in my raised bed and also a small pot. I noticed some of the leaves in both spots are starting to turn tan/brown. Is this too much sun? Not enough water? Please let me know so that I can transfer them if need be, while they are still young.

It may be sun scald. This happens when plants are not hardened off before they are brought outside. It should pass. This article will explain more:
