A friend gave me a basil plant a few months back, and despite my best efforts, it is dead. Is there any point keeping it in the hopes it'll revive in the spring, or should I sling it and re-use the pot?
Separately, I planted some alpine strawberry seeds in the summer, and have kept them outside in a seed tray until recently, when I brought them inside. I've been watering them less (when outside, they got quite wet, what with the weather we've been having), but there's now white fuzzy mould growing on the soil. What should I do about it? I don't want to harm the seedlings (there are only a few!), but I think the mould is probably bad...

Prick out and plant on the viable alpine strawberry seedlings, junk the rest of the seed tray. If there's anywhere outside but relatively sheltered you can leave them, that'll be better than indoors, they want to die down over winter and should come back in the spring (all being well!).
Better luck with the chilli!

They're very cute though.
However, I think if I sneezed when repotting them, we might never see them again.

re mould, probably means you've overwatered, so stop and wait for the soil to dry out before watering again. Not sure what mould it is. Some kill seedlings and you'd need chemicals to stop them, I've had a bit of mould on pot plant pots before though with no obvious adverse effects...
