Do you know if the discolored or scorched leaves can still be eaten? Cheers.

We transplanted parsley plants that were growing healthily Now the outside stalks and leafs of both our flat leaf and curly leaf parsley die as soon as new shoots appear in the centre. The result is that we're unable to get a big bushy healthy plant that we can use. I think there is defiiency of someting in the soil. Can anyone give us some tips on what it may be.

Parsley HATES being transplanted and usually dies or takes a long time to come good again. It is easier to sow new seed than to transplant it.

It may just be that the weather is much cooler. I'm in Canberra and here parsley really only grows when it's warm.

We live in the Riverland of South Australia with a temperate zone. Hot summers Can get to 45 degrees in summer. Over the past say fifty years our family and friends here have grown parsley successfully. In the Spring time many seeds have come up so we have all had parsley.growing very well. Over the past two years or so no one around here has have seeds come up on their own the next season.Sown packet seed is almost impossible to germinate and if so plants will not grow more than two to three inches high. What is the problem. We are devastated. Last spring I planted seed. some came up but never grew beyond the three inches high with around three sets of leaves.

Hi Dee ... how often should the molasses spray be used to deter them. Thanks

I've just recently potted some Afro parsley, which was eaten by a possum, and now an Italian leaf parsley, which just last night was eaten by a possum. My question is that because it leaves the stems, can my parsley keep growing with new leaves?

I have a possum that reigns over our our back garden because of a liquid amber, in Australia possums are protected. luckily it leaves the front and side gardens alone, only works if you have room. the palsy should come back. cutting of a few steams so it has less to keep alive may work as it did on my passion fruit.

Yes, it will probably sprout from the base. Also, you could have delicious parsley-flavoured roast possum!
