Great video, thank you very much! I didn't know parsley is biannual, and I just happen to have some from last summer still in my garden, so hopefully it will survive the winter and go to seed after a bit like my cilantro did last year. If so, I'm planning on using some of the blooms as filler for cut flowers. Yours look so beautiful and dainty, both white and pale pink, so I think that's an added bonus. Have a great upcoming growing season!

Great gardening! You can use Kitchen Waste liquid Compost with banana peels and eggshells. This year I am using my all plants. excellent result

I plucked some flowers from my cilantro over the weekend. I will plant some more seeds this week. I always forget about succession planting!

Oh, and I love your cat, especially the tail in front of the camera. So cute and funny! What a sweet cat!

The cat was my favorite part of the video. My cat does the same exact thing when I'm leaning in my garden looking at stuff for a while. He can't stand but come see what I'm doing

They’re such delicate blooms! I add them in my salads too!

This is the first time I grew parsley. In the very center of my plant these very tall stalks grew, no flowers but thin leaves. I hope I did the right thing by cutting them out. I live in Arizona and it is hot.

Thanks for explaining all of this about Cilantro. I thought I was doing something wrong. Why do salsas use vegetables and herbs that don’t line up seasonally?

Damn mine did that within the first week I planted lol. Can I harvest the seeds and try and grow more? I had better luck with parsley growing fast for me but cilantro tripled and then bam pure seedlings

Ugh this sounds more difficult than I wanted when I searched this for this information

I grow parsley, fennel, and dill intentionally for it to go to seed.
