Dulwich residents were being asked "how does your garden grow?" this weekend, in preparation for a winter vegetable extravaganza.

A potato event was held on Sunday, at Dulwich College to encourage interest in potato growing alongside a Farmers' Market.

The stalls offered spuds galore with around 75 different types of seed potatoes on sale and experienced growers were on hand to give advice about growing conditions, pests and organic practices.

Meanwhile, at the Farmers' Market there was an array of produce available, from wine to winter vegetables such as onions.

All profits from the potato event will be donated to charities NSPCC and Hope and Homes.
