Basil looking sad!! Why!?!? Same as last year, despite different seeds/variety??

Argh!  Why are the little itty bitty basils ONCE AGAIN looking bad -- brown splotches on the leaves, as though too cold or burnt.... See my post from May 2nd 2021 and May 10th 2021 where the same thing happened and I ultimately ended up buying basil...

These are NEW SEEDS / a new type (downy-mildew-resistant) so it's a real bummer that this is happening again.
