Hallson Gardens

Sounds like fun was had by all - I just wish we could have come. Oh well, next year!! The leaves do look really cool. Maybe that will be on the list again for next year??!! LG, remember me when you're Rippled Mouse Ears is splittable :lol: :lol: I bet them doggies missed you guys!! Post more picture...

Reading all this....now I'm really bummed :( :( We wanted to come, but aren't going to be able to swing it this year. I'll be planning on next year, though!! LG, how many cell phones can you get ahold of to keep the lines open for the auction??!?! LOL At least for the hosta pillow cover :eek: Painti...

I got a great surprise when I got home from work today also, from Cindy (VAWildflower??) I got very nice divisions of Great Arrival, Maya Tritone, Hi Ho Silver and Potomac Pride. Not only that, there's a daylily Trixie Delight and a really nice pair of bright yellow gardening gloves (how did Cindy k...

Jon,
I'm glad to hear you received the box safe and sound; I was beginning to wonder
It's always fun when you have some to share that others don't have.
Lori

Mine went out yesterday, to be delivered TOMORROW
Can't tell you where it's headed though - just watch for the UPS guy

OK, I'll give up on this one
I know the new puppy will keep you plenty busy once she arrives, which is what, two more weeks? What fun!!
Just let me know when you're ready for more daylilies

That sounds like a good suggestion from John, LucyGoose!! If you need any daylilies let me know. I probably have about 80 named ones (including Papillon, as you know!!!)
Anyhow, go ahead and sign up; YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!
Lori

I think I'll have to get in too; these secret trades are always too much fun!
Lori

What would you consider to be the latest planting date, in the ground, for Zone 5??
Thanks!

Hey all,
I will be traveling around the Carolina's week after next, and wondered what nice nurseries anyone highly recommends we check out. Every year I went to Jones' Nursery, but they're retiring, so I'll need to find a new favorite.
Thanks for all your suggestions!

Thanks, Mary for the recipe. I couldn't remember Harry & David for nothing!
I posted my cookie recipe on the recipe forum the other day, so if you wanted it, it's there.
Lori

Hey Mary,
Can you email or PM me the recipe for that delicious dip you took to Hallson's? I would greatly appreciate it. I tried to PM you, but don't know what's happening there....
Thanks a bunch!
Lori

Today I arrived home from work after a typical Monday :???: And there was a package waiting for me :P It came from newhostaaddict (Jill) and had some wonderful divisions!! I got hostas Blue Dimples, Pearl Lake, Stiletto (which I had my eye on) and Tokudama Aureonebulosa. Three were new to me, and on...

Don't fret yet - I haven't received mine either, but I bet we'll all get them any day now....

Bill & I also had a blast there this weekend. I got two hostas in the swap, two in the auction and bought three more along with one of those dark sedums I couldn't resist :D I too got a chunk of Alligator Shoes. Thanks GreenGuy!! It was a lot of fun to meet everyone and hang out for the day. The auc...

Lelan,
I'm so glad everything arrived in good condition - transit time was a week!! I tried to make sure they were well watered when they went out, so I was hoping they would be fine.
Glad you're excited - I know it's always fun to open that box and see what's inside!!

I'll be bringing a 'Yellow Polka Dot Bikini' in case anyone's interested

I think my DH and I are even going to make it this year
LucyGoose, let me know where you guys are staying and how far away it is, phone # for reservations, etc...... It will be a 4+ hour drive for us, so I'm not sure what time we'll get there....

When do you all who start seeds indoors under lights start them? Is October a good time? Has anyone started harvesting seeds yet this year? Will there be a seed swap this year?
I know, I know, lots of questions...
