As its drizzling the shopkeeper's excuse is he can't get pickers, the supply chain is broken until later on this afternoon

The shop is now full of Autumn stuff but there is still a steady supply of raspberries. Parsnips, leeks, squash and pumpkins are all looking good. It's well stocked with onions, garlic, potatoes, beans and tomatoes. He said there would be no more courgettes and cucumbers now but he was hopeful for a few more sweet peppers.

My little shop is looking like it’s been hit by distribution issues like a lot of the big supermarkets. The shelves are very empty. I have some kale, leeks, jalapeños and 2 sprouts plants. I don’t believe I’ll get a harvest from these as voles/ mice have been eating exactly half of every single sprout . So obviously they’re in the store room not available for sale. They’ll probably get the yellow sticker treatment. Someone might make use of them. When all that stuff has left the shelves. The shop doors will be closed until my little shop moves location.
I have a few things in storage for the winter. Tromboncino, spaghetti squash. In dried storage mixed beans, courgette, celery, chillies. Lots of things in the freezer.

My shops not looking to bad, there's JA's, parsnips, 3 types of kale, carrots, spring onions, a lot of lettuce
The only fresh fruits are raspberries.
One cuc went to day and the remaining 2 or 3 might be on sale later
Plenty of dried, frozen and jars.

How are the supplies in the Little Shop?
Plenty of lettuce, spinach, chard, kale and "spring" onions here but not much else on offer.
The Shop Keeper keeps muttering about sprouting broccoli and leeks being in short supply or unavailable. Famers need to get their act together apparently!

Some sad chard, that's all. Actually, the stalks are bright red and they're beautiful, but the leaves are worse for wear lol

Good one Can that made me smile
My little shops much like Veggies with JA's, parsnips, kale, chard, spinach, chives then assorted lettuce.

Loads of leeks of various sizes. Will have to put them on special offer along with stored onions which are a plenty.
I haven't lifted any JA's yet or used any of my small swedes (kinda hoping they would still put on a bit of weight before going to seed). Savoy cabbage, parsnips and multi coloured carrots plus leaf celery are also available.

Shopkeeper is in a strop. He says he can't get supplies. All that is available is long storage stuff like onions and garlic. He did promise some kale but the wind blew away the net and pigeons had a feast, so the only happy customers are feathered ones!
