Parsley

Over a year ago I bought a small parsley plant from Tesco, planted it in the garden and it grew first rate. I've had loads of cuttings off it for kitchen use.
Now it has started to ''bolt' - go to seed. And patches fading off.
I'll keep using it but wonder what to do in the autumn.
If I cut it right back will it re-grow next spring or
should I leave the seeding shoots to spread?
I do love parsley and this plant seems to like where it lives.
I also planted a mint and a basil plant but they seem to have disappeared.

Spreading the seeds - that's what I hope Farmor.

I'll do some chopping and shaking tomorrow!

My herbs do need some attention as the oregano is growing in amongst everything.
