Tomato Advice
I've overlooked some sideshoots on a few of my cordon tomato plants
(Alicante, Gardeners Delight, Moneymaker). The sideshoots have grown very big and are now growing flowers which presumably will eventually become tomatoes. Should I leave them to grow, or should I still snip them off at this late stage? The main cordons each have about 2 or 3 "bunches" of flowers on (no tomatoes as yet). Thanks in advance for any advice. Regards. |

I think you should cut them off,Jane.In that way the vigour of the plant will be confined to the main stem and the trusses coming off it,giving you better control. |
