Hallson Gardens

You are still in all our prayers. GN! Keep on keepin' on.

Oregon going full bore! Hostas coming up like crazy!We have been having rain off and on, just right for the shade garden and wonder of wonders snow in our mountains which we needed badly. We had an almost snowless winter. Go figure! Snow in the mountains in April?? It is all so pretty, I love this t...

The East Coast wasn't the only place where there were submarines! We had the Japanese Subs off the West Coast too, but we didn't know it . We had Black-outs, when the Air Raid sirens went off if your lights din't go out an air raid warden would bang on your door and yell at you to 'Turn the lights o...

Karma, maybe we have 'sprung' into Spring! We are finally getting some warm rain (which we need) and I have lots of Camellias blooming in my trees. and my ornamental cherry is in full bloom. It might cool a little, but I don't expect a freeze but then again, who knows, this is Oregon!! And the weath...

HI all! I am not sure how I got here, but I see alot of familiar names so i guess I am in the right place! Also I see Chris, that helps. We have had an Early spring (like all winter) Our mountains have almost no snow (not good) so we are very apt to have fire danger like crazy this summer. And all t...

Holy Crow, Karma, I guess we have been missed by all the hard weather down here, just some rain! I am just waiting for the Holidays to be over!!! My kids are all busy with their own activities (one of them is on a cruise in Mexico the other one has moved again to somewhere in San Diego) Hope every o...

Jim, you brought back some great memories! As I am sure I have mentioned before ,in the 60's we always had a houseful of teenagers and the New Christie Minstrals were favorites, including all the songs you mentioned. That music is still the greatest! I never get tired of it. Do you remember "They're...

We are all rejoicing with you , Phylis! Please just keep on 'keeping on'. And here we all go on another adventure, it doesn't seem possible that it is the end of this year!!! I had about 6''of snow already! All gone now of course! Happy Thanksgiving,everyone

'Camelot' is what I called this year too! It seemed to fit, then we had about a week of nights about 23 degrees (very unusual for us) and eastern Oregon had a load of snow, but here in Western Oregon-zero, just COLD! Now is supposed to start raining. And we got just enough wind to de-leaf all my tre...

No snow here yet but in Redmond they had a pile of it. Just rain, dropping leaves and cold here!

It's been windy and rainy all day, not cyclonic and gushy, but definitly noticeable! At least it will clear all the leaves, I think!

All the heavy weather seems to be mostly missing us , but we have had rain! My 'almost all' brown lawn is now green again, the wind is dropping the leaves and blowing them around. Typical northwest fall weather again. Time for the snow level to be dropping on the east side!!

My new Journal came today and it is gorgeous! My want list got longer! The Pictures are out of sight! ( have you gathered that I liked it?)

The growing went well, but I lost most of them later,I guess I wasn't diligent enough. But getting things done is a little slower now, but I still have seeds in the freezer. Would they still work? And besides that there are all the sales going on and you know how that goes! And the new Heuchera are ...

Here in good old Aumsville the sun is shining but it isn't as hot as it has been! I am not sure I am ready for the cold, but what are ya' gonna do? :( I have some pots of Heu.s out on my south facing deck that are still growing! 'Course out there it is sunny all day at this time of year. (as long as...

Yuk! I spent the first 50 yrs. of my life in that " Dry Heat"! Right now we are getting Rain, which we need badly! Great! My brown lawn will start turning green(hopefully).

We got up into the high 90's yesterday, no wind to speak of, tho'! Everything seems to be going just north of us! My little grove of trees keeps me in the shade until about 11 o'clock( (East side of my property!) Great in the Summer, in the winter,cool! ) Right now my grass is it's lovely shade of s...

Hi Karma and Carol!How did you get thru' the Winter? I had about 6 inches of snow, but it melted pretty fast! Other than that it was pretty much same 'ol same 'ol!!! If any one gets down my way come on down!!! Did either of you get rain today? I had it pretty good most of the day. Good for the 'turn...

It's the gardening that is helping GN!'Keep on gardening' and send us some pix! (Remember "Keep on truckin'." Jeez, how long ago was that?)

I got my new journal today,yahoo! And it is a sunny day! Great! Karma, how are you doing and Carol? These are 2 of my fellow Norhtwesterners.
