Listening to the weather forecast. This summer is shaping up to be the cloudiest in the 115-year span since they started keeping records. Only 53% of usual/possible sunshine.
That explains why the basil and other herbs crapped out, I guess.

Think of it this way: any failures in your garden are not your fault! You get to try again next year and know that you are still a good gardener.

I'm disappointed in the herbs. I had hopes for great bushy bunches of cilantro and curly parsley. And basil.

The thyme did OK, much to my surprise. And I have more sage than I know what to do with.

I'm going to try for some fall lettuces. The seeds arrived a couple of days ago, and the mesclun mix is supposed to grow within 25 days. It prefers cool as well, so maybe this will work out.
