I have done both and haven't noticed much of a difference. If you close it they might end up having less flaws due to it taking longer to freeze. I also know someone that raises the temperature of their freezer to make the cubes freeze slower. Since mine is full of things I want to remain super cold, I don't change my freezer temp.

Hehe, those darn greedy tomatoes.

Correct! If possible, you should also rotate where you plant your tomatoes each year.
