My neighbor in 4B told me my basil was 'all leaves, no heart' after seeing it on the rail.
He suggested I pinch off the top shoots more often, which I'd been scared to do. How aggressive should you be with pruning herbs in a 12-inch pot?

Ugh, unsolicited plant advice is the worst, right? How's your basil doing now after you tried pinching it?

My basil grew three new shoots after that first pinch.

@claire_ramirez22 you changed my mind. Started pinching and now my basil finally has some heart.
