Hallson Gardens

Now if I can get them to survive the winter. I probably need to get them in the ground soon.

This my third year attempting seedlings... I started in late January and here are some interesting ones: This one has Nigrescens in its backround: http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a367/lykaon78/DSC00083_zps89bd6ac1.jpg 2 with nice red petioles from Granny's Rouge (the first two are the same plant):...

Sorry to resurrect an older thread but my question is more about when to cull. I've got seedlings that are just throwing up their second leaf. Is now the time to cull? Space is a major limitation for me but I don't want to cull out something too early. When does everyone make their first round of cu...

I started this thread last year... and would be happy to take some seeds off peoples hand in exchange for a donation to support the forum.

I read and post in both and appreciate that Chris chimes in at both places.

Side note... Chris, thanks for pointing out the June Fever was a Devon Green sport. I guess that was the misinformation to which you were referring.

Found this link: http://jkiffmeyer.blogspot.com/ I suspect that it is the same guy that took the photo at the Hosta Library. The blog is dated but perhaps if you posted a comment it might generate an email to his personal email address and you can start a dialogue to determine how you might acquire ...

Another piece to add to the mystery; this weekend at the mother-in-law's house I noticed the piece I shared with her is showing the same characteristics. Its been in her garden since September. We live roughly 15 minutes apart so its conceivable her soil is short on the same nutrients. Does this cha...

The leaves have started to turn over the last week. It isn't just one eye but multiple leaves on multiple eyes. Any thoughts?

I'm excited about this one... has Neat Splash in its genes:

We recently had 5-6" of rain in about 2 hours... this was the outcome for my hosta beds. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a367/lykaon78/5-23-20111/100_5771.jpg The Christmas tree you see came through the culvert in the previous photo. Good thing everything was anchored down. http://i15.photobucket....

I kept this on because of its vigor. It was sown January of 2010 and transplanted last fall. This photo reminds me that I need to do something about all the columbine volunteers in my bed. I believe it is from Gone Fishing OP. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_4fymfDVP8EY/Tc8pb7GhixI/AAAAAAAAACs/t_...

I found a list that I'm pretty sure I updated before last years' secret trade: http://www.perennialnursery.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44417&p=464604&hilit=lykaon78#p387628 From the list I think the first one is either Lakeside Cupcake or American Sweetheart. I have a Thunderbolt somewhere else ...

I was lazy last fall and forgot to label my newer hosta. Please help identify if you can. This one has been abused. I stepped on it when it first came up while I was mowing. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_4fymfDVP8EY/Tc8oFWH422I/AAAAAAAAAB8/NsaeBfifpCg/s800/DSC01912.JPG One of these two (or mayb...

Anyone using Picasa Web Albums that have had success getting their pictures to show in these forums. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Guacamole is my favorite hosta. I just love the irregular varigation and subtle differences from leaf to leaf. Unfortunately, I've had I had the same problem as DownsouthWDE. My guacamole has been unstable. Last year I had to split out 3 all green eyes in a 7 eyed plant. This year it appears I've ei...

Bumping this as I am interested in more responses <please>.

Does the efficacy fade overtime? If so. how often should they be replaced?

Should I buy fancy ones or will the cheap ones put out the same amount of UV?

Chris,

I'd be interested (if it wasn't obvious from my original post :>).

My wife even asked recently... shouldn't you be planting the stupid hosta seed soon. Too funny.

I look forward to getting some seeds every year. Did I miss it?

Are the local societies in the Cincinnati, OH area?
