8 inch tomato plant with blooms already
 

I can't believe that one of the plants, only in the ground 2 weeks already has blooms. Isn't that way too early for the plant? Should I pick them off and let it mature more or will it not harm the growth cycle? Its a 'better boy", I bought at Home Depot.

thanks

The plant is stressed. Whether it is heat, transplant shock, or
thirst, I don't know. You could consider taking those blooms off.
