Hallson Gardens

I like the mini/small but don't have too many. I really like Dixie Chickadee except it is fast to change to all green and I'm constantly removing the green sections. I also like Cracker Crumb.

Thunderbolt is growing the best. I will take pictures tomorrow and look up how old they are.

I separated a very streaky section last year and it is again very streaky this year. My original has a couple of sections of all green that I will separate soon.

I have more weedlings this year than I have ever had. They are under every where.

I have Dream Weaver, Dream Queen and Thunderbolt, but not Great Expectation.

I'm glad you posted updates. I'm in the processes of making a new garden space. I'm hoping it has enough sun, it is very shady at the moment but the sun will rise higher and I'm hoping will shine on this spot at least for a little while, late afternoon.

The 'outlining' is really nice on this photo.

Love the T-shirt. I hadn't seen it when you posted in 2013. (How is it that the years go by so quickly?) How did the granddaughter respond?

I did a lot of crosses with Ringtail last summer and am enjoying watching the seedlings grow. Thanks for posting yours.

Doesn't sound like a lot of fun, Tigger David. Hope the hostas can survive with minimal damage. I know the spring we went back to Michigan, everyone was apologizing for the hostas being small because they had been set back by winter snow, yet to me they still looked larger than mine which had been u...

A few photos I took tonight. No rain this week and nice warm weather.

ZZTOPSOIL, all 12 hosta you sent me last summer are coming up this spring. I'll send pictures when they get a little bigger. (And it stops raining!)

I think of you often, Happy Toes.

I bought one several summers ago. I first saw it at one nursery in a gallon pot for about $28, then went to another nursery (both in Portland, OR) and bought it for $2.99 in a 4" pot. It's done well and set seeds that I have grown, but I never could find anything on it's background.

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too, 'Happy Toes.'

What would happen if you 'root pruned' at this time, while you are trying to save them. Cut off the worse of the bark. Nurseries root prune I don't know if they do on hostas but on other perennials. I hope you have success.

I have a book about landscaping at the Disney's. They do a lot of plantings to keep things fresh.
It looks really nice. If I smell petunias, I'm transported back to standing in lines at Disneyland.

My late flowers got rained to death this weekend. I think that ends my flowering season for the year.

Gorgeous fall colors on the leaves on the trees in our front yard.
