Shropshire potato show pulls in 700 visitors
About 700 gardeners, allotment holders and residents were at Harper Adams University, at Edgmond, for the third annual potato show.
More than 120 different varieties of potatoes, including one created in the county, were available to buy at Shropshire Potato Day.
Organiser Gerrol Jalving, a director at Jalving Potatoes, said: "It went very, very well. We had about 700 people through the door, which is more than we ever expected, and we will definitely be back next year."
The most popular were the Red Robin and Jersey Royals (called the International Kidney if not bred on Jersey). The show had 124 varieties of potatoes for sale, including organic spuds. The Red Robin was created by Telford-based firm Jalving Potatoes, which has been breeding potatoes for more than 30 years.
