Hallson Gardens

Got my Hallson order today. 4 Hosta , several lilies and a new to me perennial. Taking off Friday to plant. I'll post some pics then. Of course everything arrived safe sound healthy and perfect! Thanks Chris and Brian!

Thanks for the response Bill. I was mostly curious about the mustard plant. The gardener on the show said the fumes put off by the mustard plant material decaying in the soil (after the plants were tilled in) along with the heat would kill them. So I guess my question was more about the mustard plan...

It has been interesting reading this thread. Oklahoma Gardening which is a show on PBS, hosted a gardener who had recently purchased fill dirt for his greenhouse garden beds only to find it was full of nematodes. His plan was to plant mustard, once grown to till it in, then to lay plastic over and h...

well crap! I am glad you are being proactive about this. It is nothing to mess with, but it can be managed. Good luck, and keep us informed!

I have eyes in Oklahoma too! We have had next to no winter and temps have been in 50' and 60's last two weeks. I expect spring is here!

Welcome, and yes Hosta are addictive

Congratulations! It is a beautiful house, and I love the southwest style. You mentioned you only had 4 days in it before you went traveling again, so did you buy the house furnished? I cannot imagine getting all that done in 4 days.

Just seeing this. I am in shock, I just knew she would kick it again. May she rest in peace, such a wonderful lady. I remember her pictures of the new house they built and how happy she was. So darn sad.

love the new font! Can you tell we are all getting older

Dag nab it! So sorry to hear you are still fighting this evil! Thinking of you always Phyllis!

I am so excited! I have been gone for a long time and when I come back to the forum, there are new Idiots stories So glad to see you are still traveling Jim!

Checking on Karma. So many fires in Washington, not sure if they are close or not?

Hosta are slightly sadistic, they like to be treated badly occassionaly I bet they will come back just fine!

what fun! So glad to see you are still traveling and writing us stories Jim

Its been forever since I have been to the forum, but I am so happy to hear you are doing well GN And also so glad to see all the familiar names still on here!

I have all my Hosta in pots and have used Miracle Grow Moisture control for years. Never had any problems. I overwinter them standing upright all bunched up which has worked great for me, however I am in OK so winters usually are not severe.

My favorite tool is my hands No matter if I use tools, eventually they are thrown to the side and I am on the ground with my hands buried in the dirt. I love to feel the dirt in my hands..

She is just adorable Karma! Congrats!

Our drought was so bad this year the deer came up and ate my host a for the first time in 10years :eek: the best deterrent I have found is DH! Or I should say his urine. He is one of those guys who has to pee on every tree like a dog, so I get him to sprinkle around the property lines LOL. It does h...
