The basil not growing sounds like nights have been too cold. Did you
have a late frost overnight?

We've been having unseasonably warm weather lately, which is why the
tomatoes went in a couple of weeks earlier than normal; it hasn't been
below 50 since they went in.

Did the tomato leaves turn darker green and limp, kind of like they
were stir fried or blanched in hot water?

Actually, they sometimes look a bit like that during the heat of the
day, but perk up in the evening, looking their best in the morning.

Until they curled up and died, that is.
