I have the worst luck with basil. I swear, I am not meant to grow my favorite herb in the whole world. I could eat basil like a salad, yet I can't seem to make it grow. Now my basil has yellow leaves and is just sitting there. Everything else, tomatoes, peppers, chard, oregano, rosemary are doing great. The leaves on my basil plants are pale and slightly yellow. The other thing that it could be is they are about a foot from green onions. Are they heavier feeders or need more iron than my other plants? My mother is having the same problem and hers are in pots.

I know AZ had iron deficient soil and I did use some ironite this spring because the peppers and citrus trees, scarlet runner beans had iron deficiency. Basil wasn't planted at the time and is in a different bed. I still have a few plants to set out so any help would be appreciated. I won't put the other plants near my onions, that's for sure!!
