Disappointing start to the veg selling season
 

It could be that clearing Christmas displays is taking priority over Veg-2-Gro sales in garden centres at the moment. The GTN Bestsellers data reveals it has been a disappointing start to the year for Grow Your Own volumes.

Top of the chart belongs to Unwins Seed Potatoes Rocket. And Unwins also have five other varieties in the Top 20 – Charlotte, Arran Pilot, Maris Piper, Desiree and Pentland Javelin.

Taylors Bulbs also have a big presence in the first chart of the year with their Onion Sets Radar being the highest placed at No 2. Taylors also have the highest new entry in Garlic Carcassone White at No 25. Another new entry is their Rhubarb Raspberry Red.

Suttons Pea Hurst Greenshaft is biggest selling seed pack by volume, and Suttons Tomato Ailsa Craig is a new entry.

Thompson & Morgan have a newcomer in the chart in the shape of Beetroot Rainbow Beet.
