Hallson Gardens

Thank you everyone for your replies! Greatly appreciated.

I'm making a list of plants that I would like to get from Chris. I need your favorite yellow hosta for shade. I have 'Grey Ghost', but it turns darker as the season progresses. ...and if you don't have it. It's very cool!

GREAT pic! Did you say TRILLIUM? ....need to go looking for wild leek and morels.

Back to your pic. It is amazing what can be done with pics now. I have that feature on my camera, but I haven't learned to use it yet. Looks like I need to get playing to make pics like yours.

Thank you EVERYONE! Chris, expect an order from me in a couple of days.

I have created a new bed at my cabin. It is in a location where the propane line and electrical are buried. What are some woodland shallow rooted plants that would be good in this area? Let's see if I can post a pic. Hmmmmm, it's not showing the whole pic, but you get the idea. It's triangular shape...

Thank you! I divided up the clump and have added some compost into the old hole. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hello everyone! :D It's been a long while since I've been able to post, I am certainly in need of assistance. I have a well established clump of Susan's approx. 4 ft. in diameter. The center of the clump is starting to get thin. I pulled up the clump in pieces and separated some plants out. Reminds ...

Wowza, I love that color combination!

Oh great, now I need Midnight Burgundy...and Georgia Peach...and.....

Mine have NEVER looked that good. After 4 years, mine is starting to look halfway descent.

Very cool! Were these grown under flourescent lights or natural light? I ask because my tomato seedlings get a case of 'the purples' under flourescent lighting. It goes away after a couple of days of natural light. Let us know how they are doing. HELLO EVERYONE! Been a while since I've dropped by.

Thanks, I took a class on putting plants together for pots, what would have made it better - an Orange Marmelade hosta.

Debbie, it was just by chance that I even found him at a nursery last year. The name must come from the fact that he turns bright orange in the fall. I with you maidofshade, except for my stolen iris (tee hee), and my heuch's, I'd have no color. I had to steal the iris from my neighbor's yard after ...

My potted plant theme this year...is orange. Looks nice up against my blue house. I have 2 planter's like this on either side of my porch. I also have 3 hanging baskets with the same combo. I'll transplant the Creme Brulee to my garden in the fall. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g143/sspye/DSC017...

Well, here is Orange Man, later in the evening in the shade, it doesn't show off it's color like it does in the sun. If I can keep my camera working, I'll try and do this tomorrow. It's 2 years old now, but fighting with thistle (so I've darn near killed it with weed killer). http://i55.photobucket....

Brenda, Orange Man is well worth the drive. It is dark/almost black from a distance with bright orangish ruffle's (looks fantastic in the sun). It turns VERY ORANGE in the fall. If I can get my camera to work, I'll post a pic, but I'm having problems with it.

Sorry I'm late to post here. But Annie, are you sure that is a Cypress? I am able to tell you how my neighbor killed an old Walnut, but I've not seen a Cypress tree here in the smidgeon of Zone 6 that I live in, or at my Zone 4 cabin. ...LOL, could just be my city roots. If it truly is a Cypress, I'...

Great pic Peg. I get lots of them at my cabin. I mixed some homemade crunchy peanut butter and some black oil sunflower seeds put it into an old suet container and froze it, they are going bonkers over it!

Keep the pic's coming!

Thank you Chris for the info and photos... With that, don't make the mistake that I did telling Frank's Nursery and Crafts that some of their hosta's MAY be virused. I guess that this is part of the learning process also... Luckily, I didn't go off on a rampage that their hosta's are virused. I simp...

mkay, I am needing a lesson here. How do you do that? When do you start? Which exposure do they have?
