Plants worth hundreds of thousands of pounds are being thrown away because it's too cold for gardening. Growers warn they face a 'catastrophic' spring, squeezed by both poor sales and big bills for greenhouse heating.

Also in the programme, snow-hit Welsh farmers have an extra seven days to bury dead animals on their land. And dairy farmers are funding a feel-good campaign to win over consumers.

Presented by Robin Markwell. Produced by Sarah Swadling.
