First question from me - why are my Basil plants looking so yellow and frankly unhappy?
I've grown these from seed and they seemed to be doing really well, but now despite watering the leaves are really pale and yellowy - do I need to put them in a larger pot, water less or more or take them out of the heat of the green house, some I'm watering directly into the pot and some I'm watering from the bottom!?
Here are a couple of photos - advice needed! Thanks

Hello! Sorry it's taken a while to reply! Basil often goes yellow due to over watering so give the pots a rest for a day or two.
You can also try a little liquid seaweed feed once a week 🌱
And finally, I read once that basil doesn't like to go to bed with wet feet so try watering in the morning 😴
Interestingly the basil I grow in the ground around my tomato plants always does better than the basil I grow in a pot! 🍅
