I just saw this other post, https://lemmy.world/post/50970674, about cutting the flowers off of a basil plant. I noticed that mine was growing fairly quickly, until the flowers showed up, and now the leaves have stopped getting bigger.
If the plant has already developed flowers, do I still cut them off?
I like that idea, but this in on the balcony in a condo building several floors up, and I don't really get any pollinators up here. Maybe I could coordinate with the people on the other floors so that there is a "flower path" from the ground upwards.
That may make it a bit difficult!
