Can i remove some of the leaves off my tomatoes to let the sun into redden them? Plants a re very bushy!

Also- when do you know if the courgettes are ready for picking?

You can pick the courgettes at whatever size you like. If you leave them they just turn marrow-sized. The smaller you pick them the more tender.

Not sure about the tomato question. My guess is that it would be fine to pick some of the leaves off.

yes you can take loads of leaves off the tomato plants - I have.

Tomato plants -leaves can be taken off but not the top couple .
Courgettes- when they are big enough for you!
