I am, but know that I preferred to set out 6-9 inch seedlings since they adapt better and would pinch off any early blossoms until the plants were in the 12 to maybe 14 inch height and then let them go on their own.

As I said above I decided to do that after setting out maybe four plants of the same variety and pinching off blossoms on just two of them so as to directly compare/

Long ago in a galaxy far away to pinch or not to pinch was a big topic.
