blooming impatiens

I started some impatiens from seed this year and they are doing well. I still have them under lights as our last frost date is around May 23. Some of them are starting to bloom already, I'm worried that there will be none or not as many left for when I set them outside. Can I pinch off these first blooms to encourage more or is there something else I can do?
Thanks,
PrairieClover

There is nothing to worry about. These plants just bloom and bloom. Just enjoy them.

No worries! Pinch all you want, they WILL produce more! Don't forget to feed the plants too. I grow them now in winter inside, really helps the "winter blahs"!
