Hallson Gardens

Hey Spider;
I think the blue flowers are "Forget Me Nots" I have it.
Hopefully our new friend can confirm.

I've always heard that Hosta's and Maples don't go together. :( Don't fret, I have two beds circling two red maples. They both have Hosta's, Solomans seal, lucifers, small ornamental shrubs, cork screw, tulips, rockets, bleeding hearts, Huechrea, and the list goes on.... and on ... Oh and some Dalia...

Does anyone know if there is a name to a varigated Iris? I have one that has wide Blue/Green and White stripes. I've hunted looking for a name, and I can't find a varigated one. It produces very pink flowers. It doesn't reproduce very fast. it's actually very slow. It is also not as big as a typical...

Hi there! Not an expert, but I agree with the last two looking the same! Undulata of sort maybe a "Picto" The first one looks like a "Lancifolia" The color should get a little darker as the summer progresses. Yours looks to be in a little more sunlight than where mine typically sits. Check out the "...

Hi Karma! :lol: :lol: :lol: It did look like they were still eyeing up, but I wasn't sure! My Husband knows my theory on the grass -vs- Hostas, he asked me the other day what I was going to do when I ran out of Grass? I said, sell the house and buy acreage bush! :lol: :lol: :lol: Then I proceeded to...

Too Funny! I have to agree with Chris, "I'll grow a veggie garden first" I also have to agree with Wanda, "slimy Veggie leaves?" Yuck! :???: My Grandmother used to feed me greens like, dandilion greens, beet greens, turnip greens, and spiniach. All boiled, and every time I ate them I thought I was g...

This whole thread is too funny. :lol: My perspective is, if you have grass, you still have room for more Hosta's :eek: Where do you go if you need a good laugh? Hosta Forum! :lol: Izzy Garden looks great by the way, Give it time. For all those living in the US, (I wish I could) If we all sent her on...

Totally off the Hosta topic;
But could you imagine the GT Snow Racer, flying down over that run!
As an adult I'm sure that I could come up with some really facinating memories!
Great pictures!
Izzy

Okay, we need pictures!
Pictures of eyes are fine by me.
If you like Mary Ann, i could send your Hostas an email, and tell them I saw them to, and you could read it to them!

You could whisper to them, "the email is from the crazy canadian, who lives in a snow belt"

Drastic times are calling for drastic measures. Mary ann; It was suggested to me that completely torching the plant would get rid of the virus in the plant it's self. However I find this tactic to be unsettling for trying to get rid of it throughout the soil bed it came from. Koterizing roots don't ...

Thanks for being a strong reliable source for HVX information.
I think I would be safe in saying "we" appreciate it
Thanks again
Izzy

Great Questions and Fantastic answers.

Easy to understand, and follow. All makes perfect sense.

In another Tread it was suggested to use a spade fork, to put it out, instead of cutting it with a shovel. It also suggested staying as close to the crown as possible. It doesn't eliminate the possibility of spread, just reduces the risks. It's under the "cleaning/disinfecting tools" Thread posted b...

Could we start a new updated list?
I know Chris is really busy this time of year, so I wouldn't mind trying to keep track of the information and keeping an updated list for posting here.
Any objections?
Izzy

I would have to agree with Pieter; I personnaly wouldn't divide the plant yet. Unless you are planning on having two seperate plants I would leave it. Typically I loosen waist bands, to give them more room, but I gennerally don't make a habit of dividing unless it needs it! But then again, that's ju...

Hi there! Great Question ~ What do you do with an infected plant that is already in the ground? If you dig it out, you leave roots behind that will sap and contaminate the soil. Leaving the possiblity of other Hostas picking up the disease. At least we're on the same page, regarding the contaminatio...

This posting is also in another thread.
Please don't be a part of the issue, but become an advicate for a solution.
You can also recruite my help in this if you like!
Thanks to all of you for standing up to the issue.

One thing that I had an opportunity to discuss, was HVX with a vendor, that supplies Hosta's and other items. When I approached asking questions regarding HVX it was put back to me. I felt as though I was supposed to know exactly what to do, when, and where. I was being questioned, while being infor...

I would also be very interested in the results of this!
Still trying to find a Canadian source for Messenger, with no luck!
