early flowering??

mecktom · April 29, 2012

I have planted only about a dozen plants so far. They have a nice growth ...not spindly but they are looking as they should after about two weeks in the ground. We have had a cool and wet spell here and I am wondering if that is contributing to the setting of blossoms....none of the plants have any blooms at this point but the truss is visible. Seems early for this to me....my question is ....would it be better to remove these or just let nature take its course? Thanks in advance!

I think most of mine were showing trusses and many were showing the first blooms after a couple of weeks.

Don't worry about it. If the time is right the trusses will flower and set fruit. If not, they will fall off and new trusses will appear. Ami
