Great article! I love basil, and I always wondered how to pinch mine!
You say herbs turn bitter when they bloom...is that the case for other edibles too? My green onions are blooming. Should I proceed as recommended for basil here and cut off all the leaves to spur new growth? Thanks!

I'm not sure if onions get bitter, but I'll bet they get tough when they bloom. I've never tried to see if they'll regrow when cut; I usually just pull them to use them and then seed some more.
If you cut & find they come again, please let us know!
