Bonanza April for veg plant sales

Along with growing media, the GTN Bestsellers Veg2Gro index bucked the other trends for the week with a 21% increase on the same week last year.

That meant April was a super month for Veg2Gro sales, ending up 52% on April 2016. With growing media sales running at an all-time high for the month, we can only assume much of this veg is being planted in raised beds or other veg planters.

  • Quantil Butternut Squash romped up the chart to No 16 to lead the climbers.
  • Quantil Courgettes toppled tomatoes off the top spot...
  • But six of the Top 10 veg plant sales were still tomatoes.
