    What's your weather like 2026

    We were 19.8c for a few hours today but with the sharp breeze from the Northeast. I didn't tarry long potting up the Geraniums. Still sunny and 19.2c and still with the breeze.

    From the new picture I agree that the stems and bud do look like an ash. Looking at the old picture again where I thought it had lobed leaves, I believe that might be your neighbours tree. I took the green to be one tree and not two and I could only see leaf detail on one half.

    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.

    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 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.
