:-)) Well Peter Cundall always says to treat tomatoes badly so they
think they are going to die and thus flower early. I assume his
reasoning for that is to get crops from them. Whatever Pete says is
good enough for me as his advice has always been woth following so
I'd never think of deflowering at planting.

LOL

But isn't deflowering considered one of the rites of spring ...along
with the maypole, Beltane blazes ...and ...and (whispering) Morris
dancing.

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
