Default Corgette leaves
Can I cut some of the bigger one's back without upsetting the plant? Only some of the stalks/leaves are shading my peas!!

SS - I don't know whether its right or wrong, but I do! Sometimes the leaves get so big they just cover everything. Never seemed to stop the courgettes from producing - but then I suppose there is not alot that would stop them

Hello SS, Yes, I cut back leaves on courgettes and it doesn't seem to create a problem. I'm sure it's fine as long as you don't strip the plant too bare.
