small scrawny tomato plants, flowering??
I've never seen tomato plants this small before, flowering. If they set tomatoes, the plants will fall over LOL. the stalk is still just like a pencil in diameter and they're just maybe 8-10 inches tall. should I pinch the flowers off or just let it go and trust the plant that it knows what it is doing?

Perhaps the plants were transplanted late. They didn't get up to a good size before they matured. This happened with a few peppers I had cause I was unsure if I was gonna keep them or not. So they sat in their small pots for weeks. I have a volunteer tomato growing and it is all leggy and spindly and today I noticed a flower cluster. It is short too only maybe like a foot tall or smaller. I added a support cause the plant could not sit up straight on its own as it was growing. I am gonna leave it and see what happens.
