i'll start you off with news of a shortage of cauliflowers due to the summer's extreme weather:
Cauliflower crisis as extreme weather kills cropsBritain is experiencing a cauliflower shortage after extreme weather killed off much of this year's crops.
Heavy rainfall in June destroyed crops in Lincolnshire, and alternative European supplies wilted in last month's heatwave.
Cauliflower prices have soared and some farmers have suffered financial losses after the destruction of their crops.
The shortages were described as "very concerning" by a spokesman for the Brassica Growers Association.
Other brassica - including cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts - are also in short supply.
"Crops can withstand a reasonable amount of variation in weather but the conditions in June were too much and as a result crops have suffered, and this is leading to a shortage of supply," the British Growers Association (BGA) said.
