Hallson Gardens

i think they are all great choices... im partial to Christmas Pageant....

Tokodama... interesting... I've enjoyed this hosta but it's a slow grower, so I wish you luck with that choice.. it's great but slow.

Winterlightening is a 'reluctant' breeder. Can be tough to set seed on.

i can see not having space for seedlings... i can see not haveing time for things like a yard with grass needing constant maintenance... i can not see not having time for seedlings.... interesting. ENJOY... looks like fun stuff.

scriptwriter... it's all you dear, all you.

interesting dreams.... wonder what the radisch's symbolize.....?

the one that pushed me off the deep end was H. Christmas Tree... which sported for me.... blah blah blah.. most know the story... But that's the one that took me off the deepend.

Kent... I gotta laugh, with you not at you... more at me... just the ol'Misery loves company thing. I feel terrible for you on 2 counts... the new roomies and the destroyed plants. I hope the plants are saveable enough where u can get them entered at the next first look... remember there are more of...

Looks like we got an inch of rain yesterday some more some less.... Now to get ready for the frost threat... think I'll be fine... then i get to start diggin. Lotsa hosta relocatin' this year.

yeah it's good to be good.... there's always something lurking out there I'm sure... waitin' to bite me in the behind....

Right now I'm riding the happy train with all of the rain we are having today.... this should help things along nicely-er!!!

thanks for the comments... I couldn't agree more.... The mental images will last a lifetime.... the pic's would have been nice to share, but for me would have been quicly filed away and forgotten.

i don't have that one.. but i do have H. Pole cat... still unfurling.. only diff is that pole cat seems to have some 'grass clipping' flecks in the white center. grows like a weed. Margin color is about the same.

....twice shy is the saying i believe..... OK so here goes... this weekend I decided to go up to the farm to play with the hostas and some non hosta landsacaping stuff as well.... As I was packing... which i did in a bit of a hury as I got a late start..... I was trying to find my camera. Then I tho...

I think i have it.... think i have a couple... I'm lookin' at my list o hosta and I can't find them on the list... know i have a couple of giants... but damn this memory.... any who... I do have one plant that was labled as TRex that i picked out of a batch last year at a nursery.... it had a white ...

this one was a sleeper for me too.... when I had it (sold it to a couple... through in the house too...). Had this hosta for years and years.... with no....notice of it... then one year.. about same range as Hank... It leaped... It also got darker... or maybe just more of it to view made it look dar...

Homer your story is soooo reminicant of my hosta disaster a few years back.... new beds, no mulch early warm spring and then a hard freeze for a week.... I'm a big fan o mulch now.

don't think it's deer, could be but i'm guesing not. more likely rabbits or ground hogs... those suckers are plentiful near the beds. And yes shooting them does work... i remember the good ol'days when we had an English Setter and a couple of black labs on the farm... critters weren't too much of an...

Stitch in Time is interesting. Not sure it is a 'beauty' hosta but interesting.

I can't wait to see mine this year... i've posted pic's in the past.... however... this year, last weekend... i was up at the farm... every single eye had been nibbled off at the top. It's going to be one ugly hosta. Likely going to let it unfurl and then chop it down again. bummer, eh. I'm hoping t...

Sounds like you'll have some great looking beds this year.... On the inverse.... I can let you know what to expect a few more years out.... I've been waiting and watching my hosta start to come up.... I'm suprised how many fairy rings I have developing. Time to dig'm up and divide. lots of work ahea...

Well you can find the silver lining... it looks like it would be a good time to add some mulch or maybe lay down some compost or maybe some soaker hoses.... lots of room to work....

strangely or BEAUTIFULLY????!!!???

frost damage?
