      @Tomhip as promised - a typical few days catch in late August :roflol: ready for weighing and bagging.

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

        We have runner beans and courgettes coming out our ears at the moment, photo later :biggrin:

        Never had such a good year.

            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).
