Never had them before but was late getting the greenhouse bed marigolds going. Had some aphidus biological control delivered today and started releasing them.
Can't hear any munching yet but we'll see.

Have flowers (edit: flower buds obviously!) now. All four plants have same arrangement: one big and two small in a cluster.

I do remove tomato suckers, otherwise it's a jungle and it's hard to see the fruit. I might try removing some from my aubergine (thanks for the photo quangle). This is a very informative thread, all. Thanks.

You'll get flowers and fruit on what you call a sucker, quanglewangle. Depends if you want a small number of large fruit or prefer more fruit of a smaller size. There are just two of us, so I tend to go for more fruit of what are for us a more manageable size. I don't remove any side branches or 'suckers'. They all bear fruit.

Just to add, nearly every year I suddenly get an influx of greenfly in the greenhouse. They only seem to go for the aubergine plants. The first time this happened I spent ages attempting to squish as many of the little bug*ers as I could. A very messy business. Two days later I got an inundation of ladybird larvae happily munching the remainder. Now I leave the greenfly alone and within a few days the ladybird larvae have always appeared and got rid of them for me.

The only thing I remove from mine are dead leaves. I'm not saying this is right but I usually get a good crop. They usually end up looking really untidy.
