Hallson Gardens

Thanks everyone. I'll take care of them.

how about a little better editing of photo.....

Does anyone recognize what is on this plant? Little tiny red colored bugs?

Wish I got a better picture, but didn't feel like getting good camera, camera phone was handy.....

Thanks,
Steg

Viktoria - That's pretty close. I don't know how much variation you can get in catepillars. Both are pretty close to the Banded Tussock Moth (maybe?) http://www.discoverlife.org/20/q?guide=Caterpillars I did a search there with "yellow/white" in main body color and Hair Density as "dense". As you se...

Thanks Chris. I had never seen a yellow one before. Closest thing I could find was a Banded Tussock Moth.

Anyone good with catepillars?

Looking for ID on this yellow guy. Good size, yellow, black spikes of hair on it.....

Here are 2 pics of my Ghost Spirit. Mine has been flowering here in Ohio for a couple weeks now. It's located in a fair amount of morning sun.

'Silver Bay' would be my choice. Love the spring color on this one and it's holding up well again this year.

I'd also recommend landscape fabric be placed in the hole prior to putting the pot in the whole. Anything to slow down the root invasion will help. If you create a spot that holds water it will attract the maple roots quickly. I do think the landscape fabric and pot will be enough when you add in tu...

David -

Yes, we have a show every year and it usually falls about the second weekend in June each time. I know we are always looking for judges, I'll find out who is in charge of judges this year and pass their information on to you.

Bump it up..........

The show is fast approaching. Even if you just go to see all the different leaves it's a great time. No need to enter, but if you'd like help in doing that this group is great at getting you hooked.

Remember - entrance to see the Leaf Show is FREE!

Thanks for the help. Here is what I get: Yes, once a plant sports, it's likely to retain the coding if you will for that sport and do it again. For Alex Summer: It could be Gold Regal, Summer Olympics or something new (although not likely different). The second sport coming off his time could also b...

Just wondering if a hosta tosses out a sport if it is more prone to do so again later. Pictured below is Alex Summers. It tossed off an all gold sport. I believe this is called Summer Olympics, but I know there is some disagreement on that whole topic. To make a long story short, it looks like Alex ...

Good one jgh.

First two that came to mind for me were Aleghan Fog and Ghost Spirit. Good luck with ID.

Found an old pot that was way out of shape for anything.....except the garden.

Makes for a nice pot of:

Obsession, Valley's Vanlla Stick (both from Livinintheshade -- thanks again, all are looking great!) and a seedling

Definately one of our last to emerge from winter. I wouldn't worry about it too much yet.

Several of these around my gardens. Found a good inexpensive supply of them. Flowers fragrant too!

Low 30's here the next couple nights. Lots of plant in pot are leafed out nicely. (didn't realize I had so many in pots when I put them away last year :eek: ) Last week it was a freeze that damaged a number of plant tips. Oh well. Can't cover them all but will do my best again with those on the deck...
