As a biennial, parsley does not bloom until it's second season. Keep the plant well watered, doing so at soil level using a low pressure method. Once the plant is well established you may harvest as needed. This hardy plant is cold tolerant and may be harvested even after frost. Parsley tends to self sow if you allow it to go to seed.
