Hallson Gardens

Mine really bloomed quite well this year and the smell was wonderful. It really is an eye catcher at a distant. I have mine in some sun on the west side of a huge oak tree and has not burned so must like where it is.
Everyone should have one just to stop and smell the hosta flowers.

Hey I like the GREEN ONES TOO :eek: Lancifolia was my first hosta and I have lots of it around. It's even putting up a pretty good fight with the 100year old maple tree I have it under. Chris, so glad to hear your comments on Lullabye as it was new for me this year and is pretty small after all the ...

Seems strange but I have about 200 hostas growing just wonderful under my oak tree. Marlys and Connie were here and couldn't believe how big my Guardian Angel and Thundebolt were. Now my maple trees are another story. The hostas under that tree seemed to be getting smaller all the time and I need to...

OC I would be honored if you want to download the picture of Thunderboldt to show others. I feel like I finally have a few that are growing like they should from all of the information that I have gained from this forum. Please go and show to all you want to. I will try to post some more pictures of...

Sorry everyone it was raining very hard when I got home from work and it still raining so I will post a picture of Honeysong as soon as I can. Glad to hear all the comments, I will have to take more pictures to bring in for dreary weather.
Sue

Yes, it seems to be an easy one to grow. My camera went dead about the time I took the flower pictures. So I am charging it up and will try to get pictures of the plant when I get home tonight.
Thanks,
Sue

This is a picture of 'Honeysong' flowers. I just couldn't believe how pretty they are, hope everyone thinks so also.

Thought I would share a couple of pictures I took the other night as I was pulling weeds and sweating in this humid weather we have been having. Hope you like them.
Sue

Hank, great pictures, I wish mine looked like yours. I will just have to wait until it grows up. Thanks for sharing it will put a glow to the place that I have it planted.
Sue

Hank, so glad that you and Betty are ok. Those pictures are just terrible. DH & I were in Rochester for the weekend and sure glad we weren't in the wrong place at the wrong time. The fair grounds was pretty flooded with 10.5 inches of rain. Came home to Iowa in rain and had 2 inches last night near ...

I have used Liquid Fence for Rabbits, Dogs and Cats. I think that is what it says. Not the one for deer, but I sometimes use both when I see deer tracks in the hosta bed. Anyway, I use a root growth stimulator when I plant and I think coons like the smell of it and dig my new plants up. When I spray...

Cheryl(Maidofshade) so glad your package arrived safely. I am glad that they weren't squished too much either. I hope it cools off a little so I can enjoy planting things. This heat takes allot of the fun out of everything outside. I had to at least pick one from your wish list and praying hands is ...

I got my box :D Just came upstairs from having a tea break in the break work at work and found the box on my chair. Lea/Twoblackdogs did a fantastic job. I love them all. She did her homework. Such different variaties then I already have. Will really go well to add more color to my new bed. I got: S...

My secret trader should also be very careful when opening the triangular priority mail box. Please cut along the length of the box, but not too deep as it is jammed packed in paper, paper and other nicer things. I was getting it ready at work on break and lunch hour and everyone just wondered what I...

Mine just went out in the mail. Hope my trader is very careful to open the box, as I have alot of it taped in. Hope it is well liked.
Sue

Wanda, that is a great idea for getting the box ready for shipping. This is only my second trade and I will tape my in also and post the instructions on the outside of the box. I need all the advice on getting it ready as I am still very new to this secret trading. Thanks for your words of wisdom. Sue

Picked up one on my secret traders wish list last night, I will be digging and slipping the rest on Sunday. They will go out in the mail on Monday. At least the got a nice drink with the 1/2 inch of rain we had this morning. Hope mine likes what I am sending. As someone else said this is almost as f...

Jo, that bloom is just beautiful. Way to go. See it was just waiting for you to get home to enjoy it.
Sue

My list is updated. Whoever has my name I am sorry it took so long to get my list updated.
Thanks,
Sue

I will get my hosta list updated tonight or Thursday night.
Nathlie, thanks so much for doing all the work for this trade. I just can't wait to see who I get, so I can do my homework on what they don't have.
Sue
