Jadey, what a stupid day to hold a farmers market, surely they would get more people there on a week-end

Obbie what type of shop do you own?

[obbie]

PP Pumps and irrigation.
we do from the smallest  pump for 1 tap, to the biggest for huge farmers, and everything to do with irrigation. 

We know so many farmers here. There is markets up here every weekend somewhere to go to. sometimes you have to drive 15-20 minutes, but one every week end on the tablelands.

I've a friend who supplies me with fogger nozzles to keep my garden cool when the temps get over 110° F. and the wind sucks the moisture right out of the plants.
He sells "indoor" watering equipment to folks who have small 8 x 8 foot greenhouses and tiny gardens up to commercial growers with greenhouses the side of football fields and multiples.  His brother-in-law sells enormous irrigation pumps and those huge rolling sprinklers that "walk" across 100 acre fields. 
To me this technology is fascinating.

You just cook it in shaped tin, then slice with knife.
