Hiya,
The parsley plants are starting to lose a bit of colour, rather than dark green, they are turning lighter. Wondering if its a nutrient supply? Should I feed? Want to have a good supply through the winter
I guess they are in soil not pots. I have found that plants losing their lushness can be due to pests, either aphids bringing motley dwarf virus (though that is more common in spring and summer) or most likely now, carrot root fly eating some of the roots. Plants may grow through, sometimes not, and you see some leaves going streaky yellow.
What about tranplanting grown-up parsley now? It is in the garden now, a bit to far for the winter, would love to have it near house in growing box.
I would trim off three quarters of the leaves, keep the central ones and pull up as much root as possible, sounds worthwhile!
