Shopkeepers are a strange lot, always moaning and can be a bit bad tempered, I wouldn't want to rely on one for treats, especially if they're not homegrown. Mine was ranting this morning he found two green tomatoes on the ground. Thinking he'd been invaded by vermin again he threw a wobbly and went to do battle with whatever 4 legged beastie had the nerve to invade his shop. Luckily I visited the shop when he'd calmed down a bit. He said it wasn't a beastie at all, just that a couple of heavy tomatoes broke away from the stem a rolled along the floor. He's got a ready supply of beans and courgettes, a glut of cucumbers, beetroot aplenty and some manky raspberries. He tells me there might be some lovely autumn rasps in a week or two.
