| My marigold seedlings are starting to try to bloom already.
They won't be planted outside for another week, or maybe two. Should I remove the blooms? My instinct is Yes, but I also thought I should maybe pinch the leaves last week, so......... Am I right this time? Thanks! |

| You can leave them or pinch them off neither will hurt the plant. Next year start them later. Marigolds only take about a month from seed to flower and it's a shame to not have them flowering outside instead of inside. I'd say in your zone it will be the end of May before you can plant them out |

| Thanks Oilpainter. I'm going to be watching the forecast really closely. Since these are the first thing I've started from seed indoors, I sure don't want to put them outside too soon. |
