It's been a difficult year for the horticulture industry. Lockdown hit growers hard with many losing thousands of pounds worth of stock, and garden centres lost crucial business at their busiest time. But now, new figures from the Horticulture Trade Association suggest sales in August are up 50% on the same time last year. We'll speak to a commercial grower of plants in Formby, and also the celebrity horticulturalist David Domoney.

On the last day of the government's Eat Out To Help out scheme - we'll look at how it's gone for customers, business and the government. Millions of meals have been sold under the offer, which gives diners up to 50% off their bill. There's a maximum discount of 10 pounds per person, and more than 83,000 businesses signed up to the promotion.

And around 750 thousand people in England and Wales are now reaching for waders before heading off for a day at the river. The Environment Agency says participation in angling has grown rapidly out of lockdown, with over 100,000 new rod license applications - up 15% on last year. We'll look into the lasting appeal of a spot of fishing.
