    If you think setting your clock/watch is difficult in the Uk/Europe, try driving in Canada. British Columbia has 2 time zones, as have some other provinces.

    Magpie attack! Magpies pulling strands from trees

    Happens every year with our Magpies, even our Blackbird has tried pulling Trachy fibres off. It does no harm to the plant to the plant all.

    Cordyline Australis: Is this dead?

    That looks very similar to the one my brother has. We had colder than -5c here this year and it suggests burgandy spires can only take a lite frost, so perhaps similar cultivars are the same.

    Removing moss from a lawn and reseeding with grass - timing

    Sorry, I wasn't clear.I meant why not wait until autumn to remove the moss and reseed, rather than spring/summer when the risk of weeds establishing is more likely.
