Hallson Gardens

Chris, that helps a lot. I can easily let the ones that really really need to be moved hang out where they are until spring. That leads me, however, to when in the spring? When I see the eyes? early leafing out? They are mature, but only med. sized hosta, so whatever is best is fine.....Think I'll t...

....or wait until Spring? I have a semi-circle of Sum and Substance around a dogwood and some nine-bark. But my "semi" is not as circular as I wanted. Those hostas won't have to move far---maybe a foot or so. Then I have three that are just getting too much sun. Can I dig them up move them into buri...

I prefer the foliage, and am not a fan of light purple or lavendar to begin w/, so often I will trim those right away. But the white blooms, especially the fragrant ones, are really pretty and can get quite large. Last year there were so many that I would cut them to bring some inside and really enj...

Jane~ Thanks!! About to put Mom to bed, so I'll have some time to check out that web site....I really am going to need to do something asap....I hate the thought of Bailey being so wound up and stressed for no reason. I will have to get a job, so here's hoping something will smooth out by then. Than...

Bailey the beagle---so sweet, loves everyone, everyone loves her, she stays right by my Mom every minute that I am out of the house. I adore her. But... Ever since we moved here, she has this SA thing that is going to make me seriously nutz. I used to be able to leave her in her crate, which she lov...

I think I know why I don't stop here as often as I used to...it is hard to see a family hurting because another pet has crossed that Rainbow. I like that expression---it seems so gentle. The picture of Mary Ann is very sweet....she just looks sooo vulnerable. I think a lot of people would have given...

Awww, poor lil' guy!
Talk about misspent youth!!!

Other than that.....
EEEWWWW, YUUCKK and everything else Helen said.

I also think "nema toad" is very funny.

This house is in a "woodsy" area and I often see little toad critters in the few gardens currently here....I never thought about actually trying to attract them. Duh. After reading this thread, the other day I cracked two clay pots in half to tuck under the hostas and things in my little holding bed...

HAZMAT!! That's perfect!

Victoria!!
I had forgotten all about Disneyland....

Mr. Toad and His Wild Ride!!!

This thread has now gone from needing hip waders right to a full wet suit w/ at least two oxygen tanks.

Better make that three.....

Now that just looks like it was one great weekend.... Jane, this jane is w/ you--next year I'm gonna be there!! Too much fun to miss....Barring the birth of a first grandchild, the Hosta Happening just has to happen!! Wanda, your (now Lynn's) t-shirt is amazing!! Great job! LG, thanks for the pics.....

This reminds me of the never-ending stories that one person starts and the next adds to it, etc.

Oh yeah, that and "First liar doesn't stand a chance."

Not even sure if hip waders will now suffice....

Very cool!!!
Haven't been into hybridizing but I can do this!!
I'm off to shop....

List;
deep red paint, environmentally friendly
neon Halloween thingys
black light
isotopes
one cow
something to smoke

And boots. Very very high boots.

Jen~ Haven't dropped into the Pet forum for months...so last night I did and saw this. Kayla was such a beauty! And having her for so long....it had to be just the hardest thing to let her go...I hope your family's pain from losing her is starting to ease at least a little bit. If you get her portra...

"Metalic flecks are blended through all these colours looking very much like a bottle of sparkle nail polish." Now, that's my idea of an eye-catching flower no what the species of parent plant!!! LM, your hostas are beautiful, but guess you've heard that before......Do a wide angle of your garden be...

Wow~~I'm only a few miles from Niles, and we didn't get anyting like that. But plenty of rain....and more today. Everything smells so fresh~

Maaannnn, I want what you've got!!!!

Beautiful. Amazing. Wow.....All of that!!!

Frodo, Charla and the others are right...these were not serious buyers...they were hedging their bet. Unfortuantely, the housing market is so soft that buyers are in control. My house has been on the market for over a year. I have now decided to auction it.... As far as the hostas go, take them NOW....

Nah, Karma, I was just teasin'. Thanks for the link to Messenger. I did a fast click, but will go back and read thoroughly later.... Geeze, K~ can you bottle up some of that energy and send it this way? And then get your DH an out of the house hobby!! Golf?? Fishing??? :D Get him completey hooked th...
