Weather slows down GYO sales
 
With snow covering the whole of the UK it isn’t a surprise that sales of GYO items have slowed this week, being down week on week and with the same period in 2012.


But onion sets are holding up well with four Taylors products in the Top 5 f the GTN Bestsellers Veg-2-Gro chart. They also hold the other spot with their Garlic Marco.

Rhubarb is once again a big chart mover with Taylors Rhubarb Red Champagne jumping nine places to No 12.

This week’s highest re-entry is Unwins Seed Potatoes Rocket, 2kg, which has jumped straight in at No 7. There are a number of Unwins seed potato varieties figuring promptly this week, including Pentland Javelin (pictured below) re-entering the Veg-2-Gro chart at No 11.

Taylors Shallots have also had a good week with Picasso being the highest new entry at No 18 and French Shallots Longor is the highest climber at No 21, moving up 26 places.

There are five tomato plants seeds in the Top 50 so make sure you’ve got an early tomato growing display in place. You can be sure of making some early-bird sales of Tomorite if you do.
