My Poor Basil is Hanged

Before the Basil went south we got a couple of great pestos. But now the plant seems to have lost its zing. In case it is not apparent from the photo, the leaves are more yellow than the deeper green they should be; also, they remain furled up like so--like little canoes. Thinking maybe they were outgrowing their pots we put them in the ground about two weeks ago but nothing has changed. If this looks familiar to you please let me know your thoughts on what ails me basils. RJ? Anyone?
