supposed to pinch off the flowers and fruit when you plant. Can anyone
enlighten me once and for all?

Hi Suzanne,
If you ask 3 different experts, you'll get 3 different answers. Why? They give advise based on their experience, and this exp is a case to case basis when it comes to gardening, it only gives you only an idea of what might be the result when you follow someone's advise. And that might not be the same result as you do. So basically, it guides you through the process, but doesn't success guaranteed.
So I would suggest to implement a trial and error system. At the end, herb gardening requires a little risk.
