    Hi all I,ve got gardners delight and moneymaker tomatoes growing in a greenhouse - advice says to remove side shoots but am not entirely sure what these are. Do they look like a second set of leaves growing the top of an existing set of leaves ? They are looking very bushy. Many thanks

    The side shoots are formed between the main stem and each individual branch. If left they keep growing and make the plant bush out rather than having one main growing point in the centre. Hope this makes sense
