parsley help

[baby_blue]

Hi,

i'm growing parsley in my herb bed at home, its flat leaf parsley.

i thought it was fine but the other half asked if it was still ok to eat because the leaves are curling, i thought perhaps they are new leaves growing, some leaves are curled others are, flat(!)

didnt notice ay bugs on it, althought got a glimpse of a snail trail, damn those slimy things!

i've attached a pic.

Should have to say it doesn't look very good. Perhaps if you cut the top growth off the affected plants down, and see what the new growth is like.

Looks like it needs water, a mulch of grass cuttings will help to retain moisture and reduce nitrogen levels, in my experience parsley likes warm wet and rich soil.

One of my parsley plants is doing the same. It's in a 6" deep pot and rest are in 12" deep. They've all been potted in the same soil, getting the same nutrients and watering. Parsley do like a deep root, so maybe this could be the prob.
