My parsley has become ridiculously leggy with endless flowers but no clumps of usable parsley' lumps' at ground level. Is this the end of it? Shall I buy a different kind of parsley? What did I do wrong?!
Help! Thanks

And next time, keep an eye on it and nip out flowering shoots, which should extend the life of the leafy parts.

It seems you're not harvesting it much - my parsley plants never get the chance to flower, lol!
Just cut it back to some fresh, new growth and (if it's in a pot), repot into some fresh compost and keep it out of the sun if possible. It'll take ages to regrow to a decent size, so consider getting another plant to tide you over.

you did nothing wrong that is the way the plant grows. you could try cutting off the flower heads and see if they re-leaf. they are easy to grow from seed. personally I'd buy a new pot.
welcome to GoY too :o)
