Flowering Transplants?

9 years ago

I was given some tomato seedlings that are already beginning to flower. I want to transplant them into my garden, but should I pinch off the flowers first?

I would.

I would not.
If the plant cannot support them, will abort them itself.

Some of my plants (planted out 3 weeks ago) have buds/flowers (sungold, Bloody Butcher ...) They are about 10" tall. I leave them alone. After all, I grow them for fruits not foliage.

So there are different schools of gardening style and practice.
