    Removing Ivy from Fence and ground

    Get the ivy off the fence. It will work its way through the paneling and eventually damage it as well as upsetting your neighbour.

    I remove the spray gun after every use and keep it inside. The hose itself is fastened on the sheltered back wall of the house.

    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.
