Basil Has Some Tan Spots

Question

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.

Answer 1

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:
