Nice info! I keep catching mine developing flowers and I pinch those off. My basil is tall as well. The lower leaves are yellowing. Should I be trimming this lower than I am? Will those yellow leaves get healthy again?

Your basil shouldn't have any yellow leaves...is it in a dry spot (or pot)? give it a little more water. Yellow leaves won't re-green, they'll either drop off or turn brown.

No, don't try to trim it too short--just keep pinching off the top few inches of any branch that starts to develop a flower bract. It is amazing how quickly those plants want to flower---I am regularly topping them every 2-3 days this time of year.
