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?

Can confirm that bees seem to love the shit out of basil flowers. Haven't seen many bumblebees, but the European honeybees adore them.
