Help - Herb Harvest

Hoppo2010

I planted some coriander and parsley in pots in my sunroom.

They have grown very strong and thick about 6 inches hight. The boxes are small and they are starting to die.

I assume its a lack of space is the reason they are dying.

If I cut them will they grow back or should I just harvest them totally and start again.

Any advice appriciated.

In my opinion, they are rootbound and need to be replanted into larger pots. Though if they are dying, it might be too late.

With herbs like them, you need to plant at intervals so that when one plant goes to seed, you have another younger plant to take it's place.

They're annual or biennial, so they die in one to two years anyway. If they're struggling, harvest and reseed.

i have both of those outside in large pots, they do very well in a nice sunny position and grow alot healtier, they last longer outside,
re pot in bigger pots
and for a week put them outside by day to climatise, bring in in the evenin g and then leave outside altogether, they will do fine, parsley lasts alot of years say five, just keep clipping dont leave it go to seed cut back when you see seed heads
