# Over the course of maybe three days, my parsley, chives, and basil…

_Posted by Mina Ryo on 2025-05-17_

Over the course of maybe three days, my parsley, chives, and basil have started looking pretty bad. With the provided photos, does anyone have a clue as to possibly why?

When were they last fertilised? My basil usually looks like this when I forgetfully delay fertilising.

That soil looks really dry in the photo. How long since you watered?

Couple days, sort of. It rained pretty hard on one of the watering days so I let the rain be the water. Maybe it wasn’t enough?

It could have been the rain
