The Shropshire Organic Gardeners' Potato Fest will be back at Wattlesborough Village Hall, near Shrewsbury, on February 5. Hundreds of people usually descend on the village to check out some of the best local produce.

There will be 45 potato varieties - still only 20p a tuber, as well as 'Brighter Blooms' including seeds, bare root and potted fruit trees and bushes, rhubarb crowns, strawberry plants, onions, shallots and garlic. Pre-orders can be made at growvegandfruit.co.uk/
