Mine too. Are we supposed to pinch them off so the plant focuses on roots? I don’t know, someone help!

My initial thought is to celebrate! 🥳 But do what other people tell you to do who are wiser than I am.

pinch off the flowers. check to see if they’re getting root bound and if they are and you have space pot up.

Does pinching the flowers off work with tomato plants too? I also have a couple tomatoes growing in my basement. 🤦🏼♀️

Be happy. Mine started early, and are still going, now autumn here. Several have been left in garden year round now on their 3rd year. I never pick flowers off. I do refertilise the soil each season, got some massive fruits of wee plants. Best to provide a cage for them, the weight can break off branches.

Gently take them off since they still look small.
