Straggly Parsley!

Hi All,

I've grown some parsley from seed and they're about 3 weeks old now and starting to look like parsley!

However, the plants are looking a bit 'long and straggly'. Stalks are about 3 inches long with a nice big leaf on the end, but this appears to be bending he stalk over and I struggle to see how this will grow on into a nice flat leaf parsley plant.

Is there something I shoudl be doing at this stage or will they sort themselves out?

Thanks

Rich

 

Sounds as if your parsley has got a bit leggy , Tricky.
Are you growing it indoors ? It would be better off outside.

You could repot your parsley and plant it right up to the first set of leaves.
Parsley likes to be well firmed in so give it a good press in.
Once it's started parsley is pretty tough stuff so whatever you do I think your parsley will be fine.

 

Hi Alice,

It has indeed become quite leggy. I'll give theat a try and let you know.
