Hallson Gardens

I agree that it definitely is not DQ. CTG looks like a possibility.

Have it, but no picture. Leaves are somewhat glossy. Sets very few pods and those that do set are short and stubby.

The "water platters" are Victoria water lilies and you are correct, Glo...they are native to South America.

Beautiful pictures!

We're playing catch-up here, too. The three days of 90*+ last week really did a number on some things while we were gone. Even mature plants in the garden burned badly...I've never seen things burn so quickly. We've been so cool and wet, I think the plants were too lush. It was nice to meet you, Chr...

We're leaving early Wednesday morning!

How did I miss this topic for so long??! Oh, yeah...we've been waging war on the weeds since returning from Champaign. Thanks to a dear friend, the garden will look super for this weekend! It was so great to spend time with everyone in Champaign! We all need to live closer together, so we can have f...

I agree with Linda, Marlys...this is definitely an illness! The Fest qualifies as treatment, doesn't it??

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!

What is the parentage of the bright yellow, low growing, ruffled seedling I see in a couple shots??

They are saying 37* here Saturday night...that's getting a little close for comfort...

My registration went out this past week, too!!

It is a relief when your prized hostas are all accounted for in the spring...even better when they are bigger than last year!

I don't believe the white margin will turn solid green...more like misted with green.

Here I hadn't told anyone, because I wasn't sure anything had been announced, yet!

I hope I don't disappoint, Rox It's finally a good excuse for me to go...LOL!

LOL, Linda...I guess the hosta smell isn't enough to mask the cow smell, huh!?!

That looks like a real streaked BoG, Marlys! Definitely different than the others I told you about.

We've only had a dusting here, so far. Last year at this time we had a couple inches...and it just kept piling up until March! Everyone around here is hoping for an easier winter than we had last year.

I can deal with it until the new year, but I'm with you, Chris...January & February are tough!

Thank you, Lynn!

Let them dry slightly between waterings and give them as much light as you can. They aren't going to grow as much as they do during the summer, so they need to be drier. They may even go dormant. If so, water them even less.

Thanks, Linda!

Yes, it is in the mail, if you haven't already received it!

LOL...thanks, Lisa
