mouldy soil

I'm not sure why but the soil is becoming mouldy in the herb gardens and our pot of bulbs. This has never happened before even though we have grown pots here previous seasons. We have tried opening the window more to dry the air out. Any feedback would be appreciated

Basil forest is ready to eat

The basil is flourishing on the window ledge even though it is becoming quite cold outside. I have found a delicious recipe for Basil chicken with coconut curry which I have included a link for
