I had that with the basil (which I have always heard is the easiest to grow) when I only did it indoors last year. I have learned so much from trial and error over the last year.

I already have my husband's honey-do-list of what to tear out of the front flower beds so I can be prepared for next season. The person who lived here before us loved, and I mean LOVED, hostas. I can handle one or two spattered about, but this person had 18 of them in the front flower bed. Whew!
