      This year we're only getting about 75% of that amount.

            Can't wait to see that! Will you use Gorilla tape to keep them in place whilst taking the photos? Be careful as it's difficult getting Gorilla tape off your ears. :hate-shocked: :roflol:

              Picked the other side (had no room in my rucksack today as it was full of courgettes).
