My tomatoes are about 9-10 inches high, and have about 10 true leaves. The first flower truss has appeared on many of them, and I'm wondering whether I should pinch them off, so that the plants develop more before flowering and fruiting, or if I should leave them. We have a pretty long warm season, so that's not a problem here.

Do you pinch off your the first flower truss or leave it?
