I was thinking that the purplish spots on my sweet basil were actually just how my basil was supposed to look. I planted the basil in my garden, between my two types of tomatoes. If what I'm finding on the Internet is true, I may have planted the seedling too quickly before hardening it off.
I harvested a pile of leaves today from the plant, so I'm hoping that the two tomato plants it's near will grow and shade it sufficiently to protect the basil going forward.
Other than what appears to be burned leaves, the plant is growing well, much better and faster than the basil growing in a container on my deck. It gets full sun for much of the day, which basil is supposed to love, and sufficient water. I'll be watching it to see how it does!
