My first ever flower bloom! (Dehead?)

First time gardener and my potted zinnia seed has bloomed! I’ve seen some people say that if you prune back the first blooms it could make them grow fuller. Any opinions on if I should let her be or give her a haircut??

What do my tomatoes need to thrive?

First time gardener here. My seeds have grown pretty tall since March but I’m worried I’m overcrowding them or they’re missing something. I’ve pruned some leaf stems but can’t really tell when one is a “sucker”. Any tips would be helpful! (Also I have a patio garden so they won’t be planted in the ground)

I’m a beginner gardener and grew an array of herbs, flowers, & tomatoes/peppers from seeds. Most of them need to be repotted but I’m struggling to find the right potting mix/soil that doesn’t have all wood chips in them. The last kind I got had mushrooms in it and caused a mushroom outbreak in my peppers and zinnias. Any advice for soil types/brands that are affordable to use would be appreciated. & also advice for repotting specifically the tomato plants because I know they’re crowded! They’re mostly in recycled materials right now but they all have drainage holes in them and I have new pots :)
