Hallson Gardens

and it's all Sam's fault! So help me out here guys
I have dozens of J. Maple seeds planted. Now if I get at least one of these to grow for me, I have invisioned a SMALL Japanese garden for it to set in. If you would please, just a few suggestions as to what to go with it? Keep it simple now. No fancy, shmancy stuff

Sam, ya got her hooked! Ya sly ol fox!

Ok, Sam! Your ignoring me What do I have to do to get you to answer this post????

With Sam you allways have to start telling him you love him and know he is the expert of the World


Sorry, could not resist

(Sam wanders off to the corner to give this some thought )

Not sure if Bob would like me tellin Sam I love him. What ever works for you, Pia
But usually for me, with Sam, all I have ta do is say PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dawgy .... whatamma gonna do wif all these GURLS after me

Hey Debs ... ye ever fink of sumthin' simple like my Tea Garden

Details, Sam. I need details! I'm a red-neck in Injun country, remember????? Like types of PLANTS.... kinds of statues...etc..etc....
Come on.... hurry before ya leave on your "holiday". This will give me sumthin to think about while I'm freezin my tushy off

A single Maple can make a nice backdrop for a Tsukabi.

Your teasin me Mike , it says it doesnt exist anymore

I know, i'm havin' attachment problems !
DUNCE !

Is it that painted pot with the water spout thingy, in the pic on your site?
I like

Thats it !
I had my grandaughter saying Tsukabi when she was 2 !

Yeah, well Its a painted pot with a water spout thingy to me
Thanks, Mike!

Ye see the problem we're gonna have here Mike?
Ye see?

Debs ... ye DON'T want a lot of statues OR plants
Simple is the word.
Japanese gardens need rocks, stones and water
A few very large rocks, water (or a dry stream if you don't have any), ferns, hostas, your Japanese Maple, maybe a Japanese White pine (cloud pruned?)
Maybe a Tsukabai (basin) with a small water feature for sound (OR a Shishi Odoshi?)
Gravel? Stepping stones??
A little Japanese Lantern? (you can make one)

If you had said all this in the first place, it wudda made things SO much easier
Simple is... ME
Now, before ya leave for a month.... wrap all those things up and pop them in the mail for me. You have my addy.
