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?

Gardener's Delight can be either grown as a bush, i.e. leaving the side
shoots on, or as a cordon, pinching them out. The difference is the
number and size of tomatoes the plant will produce. G.D. can also be
grown indoors or outdoors. We have normally grown them as cordons
indoors and bush outdoors, mainly on grounds of space required, but this
year we are trying them outside as cordons. I planted out four of them
yesterday with their first trusses of flowers already showing, and all
side-shoots pinched out.
