(I read from a book)It's better to pinch the flowers off because most of the nutrients will go to the blossom instead of the leaves so that the basil will be lack of nutrients.

@cashwavestudios It is best to grow from the ground but not everyone has a yard this is good for people who live in the city and want to grow herbs on there window cell or small patio. I cant wait to have my own house with a huge yard to grow all veggies n herbs I want.

i don't think it's natural to EAT anything that's grown in a pot... herbs are meant to be grown CONNECTED to the EARTH & SOIL...

Why not snip the branches at the fork and it form other branches.

@WellAndrea What kind of fertilizer do you use? And is it better to let the flowers bloom for seeds or pinch them off?

I have basil growing near one of the downspouts. It turned out to be a good spot, as the horseradish is establishing there as well.

@kucibaba2: Sounds like you did everything right. Unfortunately, once in a while, you'll get a plant that just doesn't grow well. It has happened to me. I suspect it has something to do with how the plants are grown in the nursery. Better luck next time!
