A notable change between the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products chart for week 9 this year vs last year is that there were five gardening glove lines in the Top 50 in 2014 and there are none this year. That’s another great indicator that customers are just not able to get on with their gardening at the moment.

• Growth Technology Orchid Focus Bloom Fertiliser 100ml is this week’s highest re-entry.
• Westland Fish Blood & Bone 3.5kg is the highest chart climber, up 35 places to No 10.
• Gardman Solar Swirl Marker Lights are the highest new entry at No 24.
