They are out on the balcony in the sun, getting watered every 2 days when the top earth is dry. They are planted in general herb earth.
They seem to be ignoring rosemary and sage for now.
There are other pots with parsley, chives, basil, and mints.they seem to be okay.
Is there anything to be done except throwing the hole planters away, that leaves it still edible? I guess on the thyme is some mildew, we had a problem with this last year at the end of the season.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You got Aphids
pic 1 looks like powdery mildew to me. that plant is probably toast. pics 2 and 3 are aphids. the green ones are the bugs, and the white things are their shed exoskeletons. you may be able to spray them off with water and salvage that plant, but that’s a LOT.
Aphids, which are treatable depending on how much work you want to put in. It should still be edible if you wash it very well to get any pests (and their droppings) off. I wouldn’t risk it if you think there’s mildew.
