Hi All,

My second year Italian Parsley looks really weird.
Others of my customers, that actually know what they
are doing, showed me theirs, and it looks the same:
big stems, small leaves, flowers (if you can call them
that) at the top.

Questions:

1) what parts do you eat, just the small leaves?

2) what do you cut? The stem all the way to the ground?

Many thanks,

It is preparing to die, there is nothing you can do about it, there
is no reason to cut anything other than to eat. Or dig out the whole
plant and make way for something else. All the leaves are still
edible. I tend to use the larger leaves rather than the feathery
little ones but that is just preference. Plant more soon if you
want parsley and for an assured supply in future plant at least
yearly.

Hi David,

Thank you!

Is that what they call "Bolting"?


Yup. Look up biennial, which is what it is.
