    Unfortunately the only thing that tolerates fennel is dill. Fennel is a very poor companion in the garden. Even planting next to dill is risky, as they will cross pollinate, leaving the next season's seeds (if you harvest for replanting) useless, as they would be a cross between the two. I'm sorry, but fennel is one of those stand-alone plants.

    There are a few ways that you can deal with powdery mildew. I recommend using neem oil. Just make sure to spray OUT of direct light to avoid burning the plants. Another thing that will help is mixing half and half peroxide and water, and spraying with this as well as spraying the soil.

    This will get rid of the problem when you do both of these together.

    This appears to be a Queen Ann's Lace, weed or wildflower; I will have to let you decide!

    Parsley will like to be on the dry side. Even though the soil looks dry on top, it will likely be wet still further down.

    This looks to be a case of overwatering, led to mild fungal infection. In this case, you don't need a strong fungicide. It will benefit from two doses of the treatment that follows:

    Mix 1/4 peroxide to 3/4 water. Water this in. Let the treatment work its way in for about a week, and water as necessary throughout the week (just letting it dry a little more between watering) and then do the treatment one more time the next week. Old growth will not recover, but new growth should come out clean.

    Thank you! I will give that a shot. Our rainy season is about to begin though with rain (probably heavy thunderstorms) starting the end of this week, every day. I have the plants in a raised flower bed (parsley, basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary and sage.) Should I move the bed under cover like my lanai? It will get direct sun there from around 1 PM till 6 or 7 PM.

    That is not Parsley. Without flowers, it is hard to tell what that is, since it resembles many, many plants.

    It could be Cosmos, Fennel, Artemesia, Dill, Ranunculus, and others, unfortunately.

    Cutting the plant will set back the flowering process, which will help with identification of the plant. Unfortunately, smells are important as well. Each plant will have its own, unique, scent. This will aid in identification as well.

    Your local extension service can be of some help, as they can identify samples that you take to them. This will allow them to smell and see fine details to get a better idea of what it is.

    Here is a link that can help you to find the closest to you:

    That is the seed stalk. Parsley is biennial and lives two years. In its second year it sends up a flower stalk which will produce seed heads you can save to grow more parsley.
    If your parsley is only in its first year and is producing a seed stalk, it is "bolting." That means it is producing seed early due to unfavorable conditions such as high heat outdoors.
