The moderate summer weather from the last few weeks has, according to Hans Elenbaas, had a positive affect. "Our circle of clients has expanded and the existing clients have, in general, been buying more product than last year. The lower temperatures have meant that people choose cooked vegetables. The sale of sea lavender has also been going well the last few weeks. We are very satisfied with the current season and have expanded our selection with sea blite and sea purslane."
