...i always pinch off my basil leaves from the top of the plant....actually, i pinch off the stems. I go down the stem to where new little leaves are just beginning to poke out a teensy bit and i pluck just above that. Pretty soon those new leaves grow big. You should always pinch back your plants so they don't get leggy BEFORE they go to seed (before they flower). Good luck. It's great fun isn't it!
