I've been informed that my basil needs to be pinched back by 1/3 to improve its growth, but nobody has said WHEN to do this. My plants are now about 6 inches tall. Is it too early to pinch them back and how often should I pinch them back? This is the first year I've gotten a decent enough crop of basil to even consider these questions although I've tried to grow it for years.
