Our shopkeeper needs to sort out his priorities and knuckle down to getting supplies delivered in sequence rather than all at once. Although he's never succeeded in this yet, so I don't think there's much hope in the future. He's had some fine produce in during the last few weeks but apologised for the lack of courgettes due to a supplier's chemical disaster. Cucumbers & tomatos of varying sizes and colours are flying of the shelves, he reckons this month's profit will be down to just those two veg with the broccoli coming up a close second. He say a grower was complaining about the insect invasion on this year's crop of chard is proving difficult to control but hopes when the colder weather commences this might be remedied. In the meantime chard is in short supply. Not that it matters really there's plenty of other veg on the shelves.
