Hallson Gardens

Lots of progress today. There is a bed that has been rock and gravel since we moved in, in *cough*07*cough*. Yes, that long. I finally got my DH to clean it out and help me start to plant. We put some coreopsis 'Nana' in, 6 of them found the day before at Lowe's for only .75 cents! Not bad since the...

So glad I made this journal two years ago. The list will help narrow down where some of the hostas could be. List of ones coming up for sure this year: Brass Horn Fire and Ice Fried Green Tomatoes Guacamole June (not 100% the tag is gone, but it looks just like June) Krossa Regal One of the Lakeside...

I'm hoping to replace a couple of favorites that have failed to return. Lakeside Shore Master Thunderbolt Captain Kirk Great Expectations (I know it's a hard one but I love it) Shade Fanfare Earth Angel and possibly a couple more. Still waiting on a few, those above never came back last year. I do h...

Dori I am so glad you like your package. With no list it was very hard.

I got eight new hostas today. I have to stop to get ready for vacation now.

Because of an amazing secret trade I get to add:
Fried Green Tomatoes
Minuteman
Tiny Tears

Thank you so much Steve and Deb! They are great appreciated!

Deb

Again, thank you! You did great! I can't wait to get them in the ground. I have them soaking now.

Woohoo, I'm next! Thank you so much whitewater176, aka Steve and Deb. I got 3 amazing plants. Tiny Tears ~ I have wanted this for a while. It's my first mini! Minuteman ~ Another want. Fried Green Tomatoes ~ Another want! Thank you so very much. It was great coming home to my new hosta babies. My ni...

It looks just like Stripper, that pauhaus mentioned.

Very nice!

Another Alfalfa user here.

If you go to the journal's section you can see my garden first planted. And a few weeks later after 2 days of Alfalfa being worked in. A big difference already.

nice!

I'll play. It is right before my birthday so it will be neat getting new plants!

No, she was sitting down looking (and barking) at the neighbor's. She was getting up when I took the shot. LOL And thankfully she is on the other side of the fence.

Some from a garden tour. Oh, how I wish these were my gardens. The prettiest June I believe I have ever seen. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/Tashalk/Cards012.jpg A few of his mini collection. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/Tashalk/Cards013.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/T...

I thought I would share another passion of mine. Photography. This from a senior session I did, and one of my favorite photo's ever.

New picture of the garden. Which will be increased soon, thanks to the hosta buying spree I'm on. LOL For only a few weeks after planting I think it has perked up! I believe it is thanks to alfalfa being worked in the soil and a couple of alfalfa tea drenches. That stuff is like magic. I don't know ...

Well, one hosta is getting crossed off the list. Platinum Tiara will have to take it's final journey. This is one I LOVED. Such a bright spot in the garden.

I LOVED this hosta. I think I'm going to enjoy it a little while longer. It's in a pot so not a threat. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/Tashalk/Cards032.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v400/Tashalk/Cards033.jpg Sorry if the pictures area large. Even when I resize them they still appear ...

Beautiful!

Got a very nice looking Fire & Ice yesterday. I know that one isn't the best performer. But my last one looked really good until the moles started to bury it. So I'm trying it again. And if nothing else it was only $5, no harm done. I also bought all of the stuff to brew my Alfalfa tea. I'm going to...
