As long as you like but never denude the plant completely.

Eventually, depending upon how fast you use it it will become a bit 'stringy' then you might not want to use it.

Similarly if it runs to seed it will alter in taste & texture!

It gradually becomes less juicy as the summer goes on. Stop when it no longer suits your taste.
