My basil has been looking a little wilty for the last week. I didn't think much of it because it loves water and we were forcasted a monsoon. We got our 2" of rain and the basil still looked bad so I looked closer. The tops of the leaves are turning black and at the bottom of the mainstem is something white resembling foam. Sorry for the picture quality I will take better pics when the lighting is better. I moved the plant off the deck away from my container tomatoes, peppers, herbs just in case.

Thanks,
