Hallson Gardens

Thanks for the motivation Lisa. So far I have lost a pound a week. I've managed to walk at least a mile each day after work ... burrrrr! The dog loves it. I've have walked farther 2 of the days. It still hurts the back when doing too much. But its getting better each day. I've also begun a workout f...

Hey Kit, I'm with you there ... ton's of great memories with some of the older flowers, especially the Tiger Lilies.

Hi Justme, I guess I'm one of the many. Hubby and I are doing Adkins together ... well a modified Adkins. :D I work at a hospital Lab and in our bathroom we have one of the old hospital scales (like your doctor has). Several years ago, one the more health concious peope in the lab decided to put a s...

Hey Hank, I like Betty! I cut those flowers down too.

I forgot to mention my most favorite thing to do in the snow is Take A Hot Tub!

A winter wonderland Ed. I love snow, but sorry to say that we go through most of the winter without snow cover. It snows, then a couple of days later its gone. We are suppose to get 4 to 8 inches tonight, which means we will get 4. :roll: I have my bird feeders out and hubby suggested I get a squirr...

I didn't know it had such a nice smell. Isn't this one easy to grow from seed? I know it is considered a bit invasive in some states. Now with that said, I'd love to grow one. It is so beautiful.

Whatever it is, it's a nice blend of colors. I really do like the new Echinaca's (spelling?).

Aster (Michaelmas Daisy) 'Benary's Composition' I bought this one early spring, hoping to find something taller than my sedums and shorter than my clematis. Oh how I do like it. Sure wish I had bought seeds though and gotten it for much cheaper that way. I still have a few purple blooms on my 'polis...

Jane, great to have one rebloom this late isn't it!

I had Innocent Blush bloom yesterday, but the flower was somewhat stilted. But on Sept. 13th it was a beautiful rebloom.

I also had a yellow, Darling Clementine rebloom this Sept.

Paul and Helen, so glad you survived the tornado, sorry to hear of all the tree damage though.

I live downriver from Detroit, so no we didn't have any damage to speak of.

Hi Paul,
Hope you ducked the tornados the other day!

Very nice picture. But I don't grow that one either.

I'm not sure without looking it up, but I think Walkers low is a cat mint ... anyone know?

Too funny, I was just out yesterday prunning my Walker's Low for the 3rd time.
It is planted right next to my catnip, so talk about trying to keep that area of the garden in check ...
My cats love that area of the garden ... so do a couple neighborhood cats.

I have to agree, very striking colors!
Definetly worth the wait.

Welcome Bev!

Joan, I love my Centerfold Lily, so unusual.

I think that Shocking has the most intense fragrance of all my lilies.

And my Tom Pounce died without ever blooming.

I think Honey Bee is pretty cute and I love the name.

Jane, I'm not into spiders either, that is why this one in on it's way to a friends.

Looks like Nate was right!

Pat, isn't that so great to come home to a new bloom and what a beautiful one at that!
