Veg 2 Gro up by 42% since re-opening

 

Since re-opening, Veg 2 Gro sales, as monitored by the GTN Bestsellers Epos analysis, are 42% up year on year.  However due to closures during the key sales time for Veg 2 Gro year to date sales are still 42% down on last year.

 

With all this enthusiasm to grow veg and many new gardeners missing out on being able to plant seed potatoes in the spring there could be a bumper demand for Christmas Spuds which will be coming on sale at the start of July.  Have you got your orders in and displays planned?

  • Cucumbers were the Top of the Veg last week.  Cucumber F1 was the No 1 Bestseller, Cucumber Mini 8cm was at No 3 and Cucumber Ridge 8cm at No 4.
  • The Top 10 also included two Courgette lines: Quantil Courgette 8cm at No 2 and Courgette Golden 8cm at No 7.
  • Farplants Strawberry Royal Red Hanging Pot 25cm was the highest new entry into the GTN Chart at No 23.
