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.

Good info. Thanks. I water every other day, and it's in a pot. I did have a period about 3 weeks back where I missed about 4 days. Been playing catchup with all my herbs, but I think I'm there now. I'll pluck the yellow leaves off then to allow new green ones to grow. Yeah I'm pulling blooms every 2-3 days myself.
