Beetroot seed sales start to pick up
 
Onion sets and shallots continue to be the bestselleing Veg 2 Gro lines but this week there are three lines of Beetroot Boltardy seeds in the Top 10. 

There must be plenty of interest in Beetroot as a Superfood this year.  How are you making the most of the post christmas superfood and diet phenomenon?  We’d love to see your ideas.

The main highlights this week were:
  • Thompson & Morgan Beetroot Boltardy stays at No 6.
  • Mr Fothergills Beetroot Boltardy moves up 22 places to No 7.
  • Suttons Beetroot Boltardy re-enters at No 10.
