| Hi Everyone,
My tomatoe plants are doing great they're not that big yet.But they're starting to get flowers on them. My question is should I pinch the flowers off till they get bigger or should I just leave them. I don't remember them getting flowers this early years past. Thanks in advance for your help. Coll |

| Leave 'em. About the only time people recommend removing flowers is if the plant was already flowering in a container that was being transplanted out into the ground (thus there would be some root disturbance in the move and the plant has to re-establish itself)... and even then, I have had no problem with leaving the flowers on. Tomatoes are tough plants and will love the weather we are going to be having this week (warm). |

| Definitely leave the flowers on - wherever there is a blossom, a tomato will grow. |
