I'm trying Gardener's Delight for the first time this year. but I've
seen conflicting advice about side shoots. Should they be removed or
should the plant be allowed to bush?

Depends how far apart they are, and on whether you want a smaller number
of large tomatoes, or a lot more smaller ones.

Personally, I go for the latter, and seldom pinch out all the side
shoots from any tomato plant. You might need to feed them a bit more,
though.

Thanks. I'll try it each way on different plants.
