My tomatoes are out in the garden and three of them are flowering. They are only about a foot tall. Should I let them just bloom or should I nip them in the bud untill the plant gets bigger?

Good question. I was wondering the same thing cause I don’t know.

I may let one or two flowers stay on any plant that has them, right now. I do hear that if you leave only a couple blossoms on each plant of any kind, you get bigger fruit.

I have more plants to put out later but it would be nice to have a couple homegrown ones early.
