Hallson Gardens

I was out today watching the honeybees gather water by the pond and noticed this sport on LS Accolade. I separated it out to see if it will hold. I'm sure someone else has had this sport also, but it's fun when they show up in your garden!

Carol- Nope, no connection to Savorys. Every few years I visit the gardens to see all the varieties that they sell. I'm always amazed how much bigger their plants are compared to mine. I guess I have a way to go with soil amendments. Someday they'll be big. If they say large I say medium if small I ...

So much fun! I looked up the ones Brian sent ZZTOPSOIL. I could only find Glory and Zuzu's Petal in the HostaLibrary. That Glory is a good looker. I bought Wishing Well last year. It hasn't bloomed yet, but I'm looking forward to doing some hybridizing with it, also. Carol- I went with a Minnesota ...

I am late in posting my thanks to Beth. She sent three wonderful hosta, two of which I tried to purchase twice, but for some reason, I saved them for later (lucky for me). I receive great divisions of Lakeside Cupcake, Stirfry and Raspberry Sorbet. They are great selections and I already have spots ...

I'll play!

I haven't been on here in so long. What a happy surprise to see a trade! I'll have to let my friend know here too. I'm sure she'll get into the swap too.

Thanks ZZTopsoil.

What would be the best rule of thumb for hostas in pots? Large hosta = 5 gallon pot, medium hosta 3 gallon pot? I will be sinking these in the ground and want to give plants space to grow and yet limit maple roots.

Thanks in advance.

Just checking in to see the status of this plant. Hope it's still surviving.

Dang! We'll be out that way on the 26th and 27th. Was hoping I could make it as this is as close as I'll probably get. Guess I'll try to stop by the nursery anyway.

I have been out weeding the perennial beds trying to get them into shape. As I was weeding I kept noticing all of the hostas that I had received in past trades (wow there were a lot). Most are looking wonderful while a few are hanging on (I'll have to move pieces to new locations and see if they far...

I believe that there are only two trades left to be mailed. I was contacted by one of them.....

Please finish up sending. There are some anxious traders waiting

If I have missed something, please let me now.

Thanks all.

Just a few seedling that are doing well here. Most are 3 to 4 years old. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn75/bknzgr/th_DSC_0007.jpg This one reminds me of Little Hobber, but is much bigger. Love how the leaves kep the upright cupping. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn75/bknzgr/th_DSC_0005.jp...

Half the trades have been sent, half left to go!

Whew! Finally, dance recital weekend over!! I even had to share the stage with 2 of my daughter for a father-daughter dance. I received my trade late on Friday and finally had a chance to get it open and planted!! I received 4 wonderful hosta from redcrx (Ed) just beautiful. He sent a large division...
