Hello,

My toms are rocketing now, like pubescent children as viewed by an
infrequently visiting relative. I am convinced I can actually see them
grow.
They are beginning to emit that pungent odour that takes me back to
memories
of greenhouses visited as a child.

However, I am bemused by the instructions that came with them. They state
to
'remove side shoots'. What, does this mean to denude the plant
completely?
