What about if your plant is producing lots of flowers - potentially
more fruit than it could normally support?

If you then picked some whilst they were still green, would you give
the plant a better chance of
- producing more fruit throughout the remaining season?
- producing fewer, bigger fruits instead of several small fruit?


The thought that the BBC may be wrong horrifies me!


Not a good time to be raising this!
