        With these plants, I'd definitely let them flower. You shouldn't
have problems with the plants dying on you from flowering. As well,
you'll have the added bonus of seed in the fall (earlier for the
Pings).

        As for the Pings, most definitely let them flower. This
is the whole reason a lot of people grow them, is for the flower.
They're easy to pollinate, and some species are annuals so
if you don't pollinate them, you won't have any plants next
year!
