To snip, or not to snip, that is the question:
Whether 'tis better for the life of the Tomato
to remove the first seedling leafs now that
they are showing their true leafs?

I really don't have a clue about growing from seed but I'm having real fun learning

Or alternatively just answer here please

I've never removed the seed leaves. They'll dry up and drop off when the plant no longer needs them.

Just leave them s cutting may introduce diease or virus, the leaves will drop off when they are on no more use

Thanks for the quick reply - I will leave well enough alone then

I like to pot the Toms on deep so i pinch the seed leaves off with my finger and thumbnails.

I always use new commercial compost so viruses should not be an issue* .

I remove mine and then repotted them on as the little bits of the stalk e.g like hairs will turn into roots so I pot them to the first set of leaves.
