In two weeks, the parsley has gone to seed. It had been so robust that the clumps were like hedges. Now it's nearly unusable. We have to let it go to seed (there's nothing else to be done) and wait for the next risings of little clumps all over the garden, some even coming up through cracks in the drive. We use it profligately (super word) and then nothing. Flat leaf parsley eclipsed curly in some sort of fashion takeover but I think we need both (and curly is easier to chop IMO). In case your's is still around, here's what I do with parsley. Can you add some other ideas?

Cath - you paint a sad picture of the parsley gone to seed - life and death. But...dried parsley seeds (there are so many - you can spare a few - ever so lightly pounded, are great in bread dough, particularly flat breads. They add a subtle flavour.

Love your additions Rosa. I will try the the parsley seeds in bread.You are right of course about the pesto and recommend that other readers look up (that great cook Mrs Google) the Trapanese, the Rosmarino and even the Prezzemolo. (The provençale pistou in the same way comes from the word for pestle, the pounder!) I was being scared off by the combinations of parsley, coriander, peanuts, canola oil and Kraft cheddar. Snob, I know.
