Hallson Gardens

We are home safe and sound. This was the best border crossing we have ever had!!! The border guards were very helpful and I can't say enough good about them. As for Chris and Brian, well, they're just the best. We had a wonderful time. It was great seeing old friends again and putting new faces to s...

See you tomorrow. I am packing tonight and we are planning on heading out early tomorrow morning. I am so used to getting there on Friday. Oh well, at least we are able to come for some of it. Chris and Brian are the BEST hosts!!!

Lynn

Very nice seedling! All of the SM seeds I have tried have all been green and boring. Do you know the pod parent?

Lynn

I love this hosta. It is very high on my need list. Olga has put out several that I really like!
Thanks for posting this drool material.

Lynn

I hope you all have a wonderful time tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you. I know I will meet Reldon next weekend, so maybe he will have some pictures to share with us.

Lynn

Ann, these look like random variations on some of the leaves. A really good sport will involve all of the leaves on an eye and stay stable when removed from the parent. Then, of course it has to prove that it's garden worthy. Keep looking though, you may get lucky yet.

Ann, Sandy and I had a wonderful visit! She is a sweetie. I felt bad that the gardens are in such flux right now, but she didn't seem to mind. I heard the Ottawa area tour with the OHS went well. I look forward to meeting you in person one of these days!

Welcome to the forums Chris, We are also in SW Ontario, down by Lake Erie. We have just over 900 varieties here. We always welcome people to our gardens, so if you're going to be in the area, let me know and come by for a visit. Check out our website. I should have time later this year to update it....

yeppers... the milk has turned green.

Lynn

Well, I am pretty sure we will be able to come. We can't leave here until Saturday morning though. So we should be there by noon. Woo Hoo... it sure will be good to see everyone again this year!!!

Lynn

Those are some nice sports Chris. I actually have the same Spinach Souffle sport. It's nice, but I wonder how many other growers have the same one. Like you said, the more you grow, the more sports you see. I hope I get to see them in person soon.

Lynn

Very nice Chris. BS is one of my favourites, so this one interests me. Good luck with it!
Lynn

I'm not sure yet if we can make it. I may have a new job and not sure of my hours. Art is off, so it all hinges on me...again. Sigh.

Lynn

Silly Goosey, Dave is right. Shared Memories is the one we are talking about. You and I split it and named it.

Lynn

I like it Mike. Keep an eye on that one.

Lynn

Yes, it is Dave. I think you you too, LG every time I see mine. It's looking good these days. Managed to evade that late killer frost too!

Lynn

Sorry LG. It's not in the Finder. I did see it on the Hosta Library though.

Lynn

Ann, it is very slow, so OS divisions will be a very long time coming and there is a very long line up for them! When I know what I have decided to do I will let the Hallson members know before I tell anyone else. I'm thinking about making it available to Canadians first since we never get any hosta...

Hi everyone. I've been really busy lately getting ready for the season. Quiet Waters is doing really great this year! I don't have a camera handy, but it still looks the same...just with more of it. I'll keep you updated when there's anything new. As for the name, it's already registered, so that as...

See you in Miniature Landscaping Paul.
