While watering today I saw that a bunch of the basil leaves have turned brown! What the heck! I did a harvest yesterday and it looked good (though the west bed still have quite crinkly leaves).
Feedback on the Edible Gardens group suggests it looks like frost damage or intolerance to cold temperatures -- I'm sure there was no frost last night (went down to 8 according to Environment Canada) -- but hopefully yes it just didn't like the sub 13 degrees.
It doesn't quite look like most of the photos I'm finding on bacterial leaf spot nor downy mildew -- so, let's go with the cold.
Cool nights ahead tonight and tomorrow, didn't cover anything last night but will cover the basil tonight.
