Basil of light and dark

I received a pot of basil.
I planted in three locations.
One location is thriving. 
The others not so much.
.
Three basil entered.
Two were sundered.
One emerged victorious.
I run a Thunderdome of basil.
.
Scientifically, I knew that:
It was too early to plant.
I have a black thumb when it comes to Ocimum basilicum.
Multiple locations on the property is the best way to plant.
I threw the known to the wind and embraced the curious. 
.
Basil, given in respect.
Treated with horror.
Planted with hope.
Surprises with growth.
.
Basil
Water,
Sun,
Wind, 
Death.
.

It can be fixed. But, for the moment. Be... Sad, lost, sad, sad, lost, sad... Change is a bitch.
