Hallson Gardens

Linda and Chris, thank you so much for your input. It's not a very big peony, so it shouldn't take much to get it potted. I'm off to dig!

I need to leave my home soon, and would like to at least take pieces of some of my hostas. The weather has been mild of late and the ground still workable. Some of the hostas are huge and moving the entire plant is just not practical. Can I cut part of the plant and pot it? How is the best way to ov...

Hello... I need to dig up my tree peony this month. Due to the mild weather we have had, the ground is still workable.I plan on potting it in a large pot, and need advice on how to overwinter it. Should I use a certain type of soil? Should I feed it when it is first potted? and with what? Should I w...

Alas, I never recieved my trade. I also have not heard from my tradeee. I hope all is well with them.

I'm in! It's too hot for me to do any digging, so my honey took me shopping at Blanchette Gardens on Monday. And even pulled the little red wagon for me! What a sweetie!

Lovely Praying Hands! Mine did not come up at all this year. It had been living very comfortably in a pot for 3 years, and doing quite well. Another to add to my "must replace list..."

I hear the Piliated all the time here, but very rarely see them. Great pics!

OK I'm in! It's been a couple of years since I have participated. My beds were decimated by voles a couple of years ago, and I was heartbroken and lost interest in gardening. I have now rejoined the gardening world!

I started out nine years ago with 4 small pots of Dicentra "Luxuriant" ....They were very happy where they were for several years...I dug up the original plants to split them up...ended up giving them all away....the next year.....they were popping up all over!....I give away several plants every ye...

I also dabble in crafts a bit. A little of this and a little of that. I have been going to a ceramic studio for the last 20 odd years. I give quite a bit of my projects away to friends and family. I like to paint original designs freehand on large useful objects like pitchers, platters, and urns. I ...

Congrats on the new puppy! OED gave superb advice about getting a handle on the nipping. Redirecting your pup is about the only thing that will help in the long run. Give him plenty of appropriate things to chew on. Give him tons and tons of exercise. A sleepy puppy is a happy puppy. Please give you...

Soup is my favorite! I made a pot of chicken noodle the other day. I believe it is my all time favorite. I put lots of garlic and black pepper in it. I don't usually use a recipe when I make soup; just use what I have in the house. I do have a recipe for a great vegetable soup, though. I'll look for...
