Once again, I've forgot to leave my tomatoe plants until they have
flowers, and
have planted them before, too many to take them all out, repot and
wait, but
how long does not planting the proper way delay the tomatoes please?

I didnt know that one was supposed to wait till they had flowers,
shows
how much I know :-) I just plant mine when I think they look big and
strong enough, been O.K. so far, I would not worry if I were you:-)

You are correct Kate. they should be in their final containers BEFORE
they flower otherwise they will suffer a big set back. Terry will not
have delayed them, but almost certainly helped them. Mine in pots are
just beginning to develop the first flower truss.
