Tomato Plants Flowering

I bought a couple of tumbling toms a couple of weeks ago and I’ve had them on the kitchen windowsill where they get light but no direct sun. They’re absolutely flourishing and have started to flower. They’re going to be grown in a hanging basket so it might be warm enough in another couple of weeks.

Do I cut them back or let them flower?

I'd carefully tip them out of their pots and look at the roots. If you can see more roots than compost then it would be worth potting then on into slightly bigger pots. They might just be big enough to flower or it could be that they are stressed and so are flowering early.

Thank you, I’ll do that, they’re still in the nursery pots, hadn’t thought about that. Shouldn’t have bought them so early.
