Is there any way to salvage a coriander plant when it does this, or am I best to mulch it and start from scratch?

My parsley is looking like it is about to do the same thing. Is there any way to prevent it and help it continue producing?

This is called 'bolting', and it's when an annual (coriander) or biannual (parsley) plant goes into seed. Collect the seed, and replant. This is normal and natural for these plants. I have seen a friend grow a kale plant for over 18 months, but it was in a tropical climate.
