Okay, first off. What is the fertilizer ratio for parsley. Second off my tip to you is to find out the acceptable fertilizer ratio of every plant. Other than that this website is pretty useful.

Parsley grows really well in the US (west Coast). It's a little difficult to start from seed but once it starts producing, it is wonderful. After cutting it down (harvesting the leaves), it just grows back again. It just keeps growing until it freezes in the winter. I grow moss curled parsley.

I think you should collect your seed and plant it the old gone is finished.

in early spring I had a happy parsley living in a full sun garden bed. however it was growing out of control and i cut it back. now all i have is a large parsley plant in seed with very little edible leaves for cooking. what should i do to stop seed and promote healthy edible leaves again?

I have also had problems with possums eating my parsley - I put bird netting over the plants which has worked so far.

It grows really well in a pot. Perhaps you can put wire netting over a pot to protect it.

Have tried growing parsley at two different houses now and it has been completely eaten by something in both locations. I am thinking a possum? Is there a way to avoid it being eaten? Is it possible to grow it indoors? Thanks!

A few years back in Albany WA there was a lady there who used dog hair to pack into a stocking which she tied to a stake next to her plants. I thought it was weird but it does seem to work. Possums didn't like the scent (and no it wasn't smellable to humans).

Hi Michelle I've heard that a good possum deterrent is to mix a cup of molasses into one litre of water and spray it over new foliage. Apparently it also works for grasshoppers and caterpillars too.
