Transplanting tomatoes with blossoms?

tnpeppers · May 14, 2010

I should have known better; but I started some saved seed in one-gallon pots to see what they would do; and they have done WAY better than expected. Now I have these beautiful two/three foot plants that have just blossomed. Rather than lose them; I want to transplant them into ten-gallon containers. Can this be done successfully even though they are blossoming? Are there any steps I should take to reduce the risk of transplant sock? Or should I just 'pop them out' and go for it? (Using all the care one would normally use during transplanting...)
