My PSB are at long last showing the florettes on what is looking like a small bush, would you advise removing the lower leaves at all or leave well enough along?

At this time of year I would only remove lower leaves if they die or are showing signs of some lurgy.   The leaves are needed for the plant to grow.        Cheers,    Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

My early purple sprouting is doing really well now. I grew the summer one last year which gave me an Autumn crop but I didn't plant any lates so this will be it for months!
Shame....

There's more than one variety!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
