It's the end of summer sport on the TV unless you're watching the 100 cricket! It's a lot cooler now with some rain forecast for Sunday. In the shop this week we have watermelons (minis and halves) which are very refreshing in this warm weather. A tip for keeping them fresh once cut is to keep squashed cloves of garlic near them. The garlic has antibacterial properties which helps to stop the watermelon deteriorating so quickly.  See the fruit and vegetable priceguide for details.

Hope you're all coping in this heatwave which should be over by Sunday. My sister in London says it's currently 37 degrees C in her garden in the shade. Probably not many of us will be staying up to watch the football tonight - better to get up early in the morning when it's cool. In the shop this week there will be local lettuce, Spanish melons and bunched carrots - check price guide for details. In the next two weeks we're putting a fresh organic meat order together so please let me have your requests.
