Herbs all turning yellow

[mamalisa]

I have a pretty big potted herb "garden" on my patio. It faces east and it's been raining like crazy here. My parsley, cilantro and basil have gone from brilliant green, to almost a lime green. It's like they got washed out. Is there anything I can do to fix it, or is my little garden a loss?

have you tried giving them some fertilizer? maybe the rain has washed a lot of the nutrients out of the potted soil. I have the same thing going on with some potted tomato and pepper plants here and that is what I have tried to far. (peppers are looking better, tomatoes about the same)
So any other suggestions? (For fertilizer i used a fish emulsion)

I was going to suggest side dressing as well. i just use compost, but you can try to determine exactly what they need here: http://gardening.about.com/od/garden...entDeficie.htm

Too much water can also turn leaves yellow, so maybe if you can rig some sort of protection (put them under a patio table?) you may have some success.
