Time to reopen the Little Shop at the end of the garden!

I was on the hunt the other day for a wheelbarrow for the garden, eventually plumped for a trundle thing from Argoose as it couldn't be any wider than 50cm. I needed it to get between the greenhouse and pizza oven base which is a little tight. Stingy builder if you ask me, I think he must have been slimmer before lockdown.
A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.

My little shop has finally got Black cherry toms in stock and all the lettuce, radishes and spring onions you'd ever need but Cucs are on back order.

Blackbirds might be in the shop ready for a pie if they keep eating the tomatoes!
The shopkeeper is having a bit of a problem with stock control. He's run out of strawberries and raspberries but has overstocked on courgettes and beans. He says it happens every year and can't understand why. He blames the computerised ordering system, but I have my doubts

Shop keeper handed me the first of his new delivery of tomatoes. It was a beautiful round cherry tomato and bright yellow. It tasted so tomatoey, it was Divine. Can’t wait till the next delivery.

Was 'Devine' a description of its taste or the variety name SC?

Here's hoping you might include them in a seed swap, if they're that good.  Not a variety I've ever heard of.

I quite like Divine chocolate but I've never seen it in the shop. I think french beans and courgettes have been over-ordered again.

Our shops must use the same suppliers, Mark - they must have got a job lot of beans and courgettes this year.
