Hallson Gardens

Are you talking about INCA APOTHECARY or the one I mentioned LIVING IN LUXURY?

Don't google either one - go to Curt Hanson's website at Crintonic Gardens for IA or to Bob Carr's website for LIL. Sorry I'm ignorant and can't post direct links.

I can see into the future - seeds, moss, vermiculite, refrigerators, etc. GREAT SITE!

I saw the same three plants infected at my local Lowe's yesterday. Basically, anything with lighter foliage was affected. The blues appeared fine and the other kind - you know, the green and white ones.

What a haul - your garden will be a knock out this summer.

I live in zone 6a and can successfully grow most Japanese maples in containers. If you use fast draining potting medium with sufficient holes in the container to ensure that, then most will survive our winters. For winter interest, consider the Sango Kanko or Winter Flame or the another one I can't ...

Japanese maples can also be pruned when they are in summer dormancy without ill effect. They really are strong growing trees. If this were my tree, I would do air layers on the two big branch areas in the crotch of the tree RIGHT NOW and hope to be able to remove them this fall. You should have a lo...

Oh Ed, I can feel the shade in your hosta area. I love my daylilies but on a hot day when you can't stay out in the sun anymore, what a relief to hit the shady spots to cool off. tma the hosta are as addictive as daylilies. I only had a couple of small areas that could handle shade plants and by the...

tma you are treating poor Ed just horrible. I wish I had pictures to add but for some reason, I don't ever take pics in the spring. My daffs are blooming, my tulips have buds, one rhodendron is blooming, a hot pink color, the pulmonaria are blooming. the hellobores have bloomed but I always miss tho...

Last batch for Ed - I can hear him sobbing for spring all the way down here.

Just for Ed and his spring fever. I will try to find ones I haven't posted already.

If you don't have any specific goals, dab pretty on pretty and you will get a good percentage of pretty! Will they be different enough or have enough outstanding virtues to intro - who knows, it will be your decision. The "don't breed red and yellow" will not always create muddy, particularly in the...

Very nice - TRAHLYTA is one of my favorites too. Hard to imagine with this wintery day we are having on the FIRST day of spring, that daylilies will ever bloom again.

Welcome to an obvious addiction Mike - nice list.

Very nice to see some gorgeous blooms on this chilly, chilly spring day.

What's the parentage on your eyed/edged seedling? Nice!

The one that I look at every day when she blooms is VICTORIAN LACE - Stamile - a cream with pink highlights/blush or whatever you want to call it. This picture is the first ever bloom on it and I really need to get another picture now that she is established and even prettier than this picture. http...

Congrats to you and Thunder. Were the shows in Belleville?

I've probably chronicled enough of my background in dogs so won't ramble here. I have always loved dogs and will never be without them. I actually met my husband at a dog show so we fit well together. OED - hubby actually taught obedience prior to our marriage. After that, I kept him on the road too...

Welcome bleulily and now show us your gardens. We love pics here! caliloo- great choices on your wish list. JERRY NETTLES and ALEXA KATHERYN are similar so maybe just pick one of them. DECLORES is very pretty but it is a dip spuf and with multiple blooms open, the scapes tip over. If you want that l...
