Basil Flower



It is reported everywhere that pinching basil flowers will be good for the plant as it will be able to put its energy on producing leaves. Once basil plant flowers, it tends to produce a more bitter taste in the the leaves. Nearly on daily basil, I go around my basil plants and remove the flowers. The plant in the picture is having such a neat flower that is still in the early stage. I might let it grow and keep the seeds to be planted later. As of right now, I have many basil plants around the garden......
