Why?
Is it so hard to grow parsley and cilantro? I have beautiful basil, rosemary, oregano (though a little worse for the wear) and mint. But my parsley looks sad. Am I doing something wrong? Suggestions??
We all know my history with plants...I can't even get the notorious mint to grow without developing brown spots that are the beginning of the end. Bummer since I need it regularly for sassy juice. My lobelia out front is also giving me fits. Exposure is key, but I don't know how to protect from the sun until established...Mom

Hmm. Basil is difficult for me. Parsley and coriander seem to do OK, though coriander goes to flower a lot, and gets quite leggy.
