It feels wrong, but trust me! ✂️🍅
Pinching off those very first tomato flowers on a young plant (under 12-18 inches) is the secret to a massive harvest later.
Why? If the plant flowers too early, it puts all its energy into making fruit instead of building a strong foundation.
Removing the blooms forces the plant to focus on roots,
thick stems, and more foliage. Stronger plant = more
tomatoes later!
Would you pinch or let them grow?👇
