I found that happened to one lot of parsley. This time I have watered it a bit less and only given it sun for part of the day. It is planted in pots so I can move it around. When it did actually grow it was being eaten as well so I bought some chicken wire and created a barrier around the pots in case it was the possums eating it. So far so good. Did I mention I have snail bait lightly sprinkled around the potting mix. By moving it around I hope to also deter earwigs etc. However I still don't know what was eating it.

Hi Robyn. Possums love parsley. They have decimated my parsley plants in the different houses I have lived in and I have often heard my friends 'cursing' the possums for eating their own parsley plants.. Your chicken wire barriers will do the trick. I did something similar. Bob
