My Farm is Barren
Well, I think it's safe to say that I am not a very good farmer.
Above was my 2nd attempt at growing fresh basil, chives, cilantro and marijuana (just kidding about that last one, but I don't remember what the 4th herb was...). Pretty bad for someone that went to a high school that offered courses for Future Farmers of America. My poor little herbs were doing so good for a while, too.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, that last little green sprout is actually a weed. How the hell did that get there?!
Looks like I'll be taking "Farmer" off of my resume...

3 Shenanigans:
Summer, did you forget to water your weed crop? They all look drier than a bushman's jock-strap :S
Did you give them enough light? If they're indoors, they probably died after sprouting due to light deprivation. You can either move them outdoors, move them to a spot that receives at least several hours of direct sunlight, or invest in grow-lights. I've had good luck with LED grow lights, though my seedlings still got a bit spindly.
Also, I have heard that "air movement" helps, whatever that means. Maybe a fan on a time-delay?
I gave them lots of light and even took them outdoors every so often (and kept them out of direct light so they wouldn't burn). And, they were by a small fan, so they had some air movement.
I think I'm just cursed ;).
