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 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.

Landscaping - Bank Edging Replacement
Unfortunately I don't have any other materials in the garden to use, and there is quite a large area to cover so I fear putting in a drystone wall would be beyond my level of skill.

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.

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.
