I went out of town this weekend, and rather than ask my husband to water my kitchen window plants (NEVER a good idea) I popped them out on the deck for 48 hours.

I have two small, seemingly healthy pots of basil and Max's incredibly tall green bean plant.

Well, we had 5 inches of rain on Sunday, so water was surely not a problem!

But both the basil and the green bean turned a yellowish color. (however, the bean put forth a blossom!)

I brought everything back inside when we returned yesterday. (draining excess water from the basil pot)

Do you think it was just too much shock to move the plants into the fresh air after they had "grown up" in the window? Or do you think they just got waterlogged?

And will my basil ever go back to it's pretty green color?
