Yes, it looks like a strawberry flower! You should probably pinch it off. I'm sure that goes against every fiber of your being, but it the long run you'll be better off especially when it comes to overall yield. Your plants are still fairly small and could use a few more weeks (4 - 6) of growth to put on more foliage so that they can support more fruit.

I read, that you should pinch them off! But you are correct it is going against every fiber of my being, I love my little plant! A few more weeks and I am making Milkshakes!

Good job. Carry on, & best of luck.✌✌✌

CUTE LITTLE BASIL PLANT

pinching off the flower should increase the yield; i've been doing that with my homegrown peppers and have increased the plants output significantly. good luck
