A number of UK and Channel Islands supermarkets are struggling to stock courgettes and salad due to poor weather conditions in Spain and Italy.
It has become such a widespread issue that a #courgettecrisis hashtag has been started on Twitter for shoppers to vent their anger.
The shortage of vegetables and salad has been caused by a combination of flooding, and cold and cloudy weather in southern Europe.
Co-op chief executive Colin Macleod said that although they have no empty shelves their stores have been affected.
