growing from seed

The plants I started indoors are beginning to get flowers, even though it's a good 3 weeks before they go in the ground. Is it better to let them be or pinch them off?

squrrel,

I would just let them do their thing. When you do transplant them, the plant will probably abort the blooms due to transplanting stress. Sometimes a plant will retain the blooms and produce fruit. The earliest blooms seem to produce the largest fruit for me.
