    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.

    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.

    What's Looking Good March 2026

    They look very much like my Anemone blanda, could it be a camera/display artifact? As there are some colours that never come out right for me.

    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.
