I started my tomatoes from seed about 7 weeks ago. They are now
between 14 and 18 inches tall and seem strong. I've noticed this week
that they are beginning to grow flower buds. I haven't transplanted
them to my garden yet (I plan to plant them next weekend). Should I
remove the buds? Do they need the energy to develop the roots instead?

Thanks in advance.

I've done it both ways, seemed to make no difference. The taller
ones though were in 1/2 gallon milk cartons and had a deep root system
come transplant time.

You could always experiment, take some flowers off one, leave them on
another. You could even try plant using a trench method for some,
(typical) vertical plating in another.
