Love the subject line!! Yep, my basil is just sitting there. I felt that my transplants were stunted by the cool spring, so I did some direct seeding as well--they sprouted, but have only grown a few inches. There's just not enough sunshine.
At least you had some basil last year. We had severe water restrictions, and my basil didn't make the triage cut on watering, I was just trying to save some of the shrubs and trees.
However, despite the long snowy winter, the cold wet spring, and the current bout of rain and cloudy skies, I am NOT complaining. It's not an ideal growing season, but it's still better than a drought. Anything is better than a drought.
