This is my first time growing tomatoes from seed. My tomatoes are big and ready to be planted outside, but I believe we’re still weeks away to be able to plant it outside (I’m in PA). One of the plants is fruiting and multiple have flowers. Is better to snap the fruits and flowers or it’s Ok to let them fruit inside? What’s the best approach?

Where in PA? I’m in mid state NY and my outdoor tomatoes are absolutely thriving right now. Definitely not too cold. I would certainly leave the fruits on there though. Do you know what variety they are?
I am loving the mcdonalds cup planter!!!!!
Personally I wouldn’t let it fruit or flower until it’s had more vegetative growth in the ground. It will get stunted, especially root growth, once it starts fruiting.
It probably already will get stunted because it feels like it’s reached maximum size for its container.
