If I remove all but a few of the leaves on my tomato plants, will it adversely effect the plant?
My toms aren't as developed as others ( north east location and near coast)

I did a bit of deforestation on my plants today, it's amazing how many tomatoes have been hidden!

 I am going to do my annual review of the plants tomorrow before I have a picking session to decide which varieties get onto my 'must grow next year' list. It's been a funny year, some of my all time favourites haven't done very well so far....
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴
