Good on ya, mate!

Do tell me all about Siberian tomato!

So is the general consensus to pick the early flowers off or to let them grow even on small plants. I'm in the vein of letting them grow.

I've pulled buds off several other plants, but that "LT" blossom
was over 10" off the ground so it stayed. Here's the plant in profile:

I have a few other buds and blossoms on Grub's Mystery Green,
Cherokee Purple, and something I'm tentatively calling RIK F3 PL
(a Sudduth x Unknown RL) whose RL sister still is budless.
The seeds came from Big Chief, and if it turns out really good,
I should name it Big Chief I guess. Here's RIK F3 PL:

Here's an open blossom on top of a Brandy Boy F4.

It's been warm here in Zone 6b Ohio River Valley.
Last year was warmer earlier and I had some plants in by April 9,
but this spring was cooler and they went in the last week in April.

Good growing and big harvests to y'all.

Once they're in the ground and growin' good, i wouldn't touch a flower, but if they are trying to bloom before or very shortly after they're transplanted i'd pick them off, just to focus the energy on establishing roots.

Instar,

Basically, I just like a bit of space between the fruit and the ground ... especially to allow for straw mulch later.

Siberian tomato is an early variety determinate, 55 days and will set fruit down to 38 deg. which I believe is the lowest temp. to set fruit of any variety. I planted them Feb. 1 indoors under fluorescent lights. Put them in the greenhouse March 15th with Wall-O-Water frost protectors, They are quite sturdy now over 20 inches tall with about a 1/2in. to3/4in stalk, I'm using 4-3-3 Organic timed release fertilizer. I considered removing first blossoms but the plants are so sturdy and strong I think there ready! Siberian is not the best tasting tomato but still better than the garbage they pass off as tomatoes at the store.
I also have Roma's, Beefsteak's, Plum Dandy's, Sweetie's,and several container types started, Bonsai, tiny tim, micro tom,tumbling tom,container hybrid. Trying several new types this year. Thanks for the posts.
Happy Gardening!
