Update - Ben Hall along with Roger at Western Gardens downtown looked at the leaves we brought and they both decided it was sun scald. Imagine plants burning in a garden in April. And I have to water more. I don't think I ever had to water the garden in April.

Western Gardens has more heirloom varieties including Mr. Stripy.

I love Western Garden!
The variety of herbs they have is far superior to anywhere else I have found, especially in UT!
The always have atleast ten or more varieties of Basil alone!

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your plant burning. :-(

Too bad they don't make SPF 50 for cabbage.... ~wink~
