Hallson Gardens

Just wanted to drop by and say another big thanks to everyone and a special mention to Chris.. not gonna have much time to spend on the forum this year with the new addition to our family being 3-4 months now... between her and my 3 year old son.. plus work and all the usual, I'm just far too busy. ...

I tell my wife hey atleast they're hostas and not marijuana plants lol..

I hope to get a hold on one of those blue ivory, regal supreme and guardian angel

Thanks bud... I've obsessed over certain varieties for a few years now... my first year I bought the basic must haves... the second year I let them grow... now this year, my third, I've bought several I think my collection went from 40 something to 80 something this year lol... and I probably looked...

Thanks Chris... I will do that... I had a gallon pot picked up and was like nah... I'm gonna put it in a new one... I have some quart pots sitting in the garage... thanks for the tip...

Well all I have to say is six eyes on sweet home Chicago lol.... Arctic blast has four and freaking four more wanting to form... I don't much worry about how the leaves appear this time of year... You should see my garden.... And I'm not putting them in the ground... Gonna leave them potted up for a...

Received my order this morning and got them all potted up... in the pictures some of them are planted a bit shallow... this has already been taken care of... lol.. I was in a rush to get them potted, record eye count, get pictures.. get all the data put in my spreadsheet and then post this thank you...

Awesome... yeah this time of the year I wouldn't think much bloom would still be hanging around anyways...atleast not in my southern garden.. Regal Splendor is a super big fave... and I really like my old Wide Brim as well... I have a Kiwi Full Monty that should be here tomorrow... from Chris =)... ...

Lol

lol I don't know what would be worse... Deer or Mark... I hear Mark has been known to munch down hostas lol... I think he's immune to all forms of prevention as well

Thanks guys... yeah I'm stuck on red oaks, white pines and black walnut.. I think I might just plant six of each... As far as the understory goes... I like the idea of an asian dogwood and redbuds..... anybody know the lowdown on the weeping cherry... And magnolias... I would like a big willow as we...

I like Sublime... good band.. they jammed...

Wow thanks for the recent replies... I'm thinking a 4 white pine, 4 black walnut, 4 red oak and 4 more large trees... as far as the understory... I haven't decided yet... but I like the idea of redbuds or dogwoods... And yes the ground is pretty fertile... years of cow poop and lime... its still cla...

Thanks for sharing... thats beautiful Jerry... I like the idea of black walnuts...but I don't want too many slow growing trees I agree that we are planting for the future... but I'm planting so maybe one day upon retirement I can enjoy growing hostas in this area... I like flowering trees.. but then...

As long as the animals are big enough to trap and shoot... I think I'll be alright... I don't mind the birds much... and I'll be happy to put another deer in the freezer =)....we don't have much of a squirrel population due to the fact that theres not much forest within a half of a mile... would be ...

ooh Eastern Red Oak and Northern Red Oak...

Well the arborvitaes are pushing the property line... so I'm not much worried about their roots... nor am I worried about planting hosta near them... just wanting a good fast growing privacy fence... we live in the countryside... but yet we can see our neighbors a mile down the road lol.... I like t...

Okay here's the spill... I have a two acre house lot... One acre has just been converted from barren pasture... The other acre is the original lot.... My original lot is mostly shaded by two water maples and seven sugar maples... And three trees I have no idea what they are...It sucks I know.... But...

Sounds like a deal man.... I'm pretty excited...
