Herbs and spuds drive GYO to new levels

Compared to the last four years, August was the best for grow-your-own activity. The GTN Bestsellers Veg 2 Gro Top 50 Chart shows a 12% increase on last year, to make it the highest sales volumes for the month since 2013.

Herbs were the big movers last week, with high volumes of Marjoram, Mint and Basil selling through.

  • Farplants Marjoram, 9cm pot size, comes straight in at No 1.
  • Farplants Mint ‘Tashkent’ is the highest re-entry at No 8.
  • Quantil Christmas Potato ‘Sharpes Express’ is another new entry at No 20.
