Hallson Gardens

Hi,
Pretty quiet over here these days and that's too bad. Nice to see you.

I don't know whether Chris is still following these threads. If he is, he would know. Or Tigger.

Is that a new plant? Has it flowered? If it's new, you may need to wait until next season and look at it when it first emerges. 'High Society', like 'Remember Me', will emerge with yellow centres.

Thanks, Chris. I wasn't even sure whether you were checking in here regularly. I hope you really are retired. I'll try to see if I can get my hands on those and give it a try. I DID dig three plants, but am willing to try again, if there's hope. (I DO have some seedlings in the back yard that are ge...

I destroyed three plants this morning. I suspect there may be more infected. Is there anything that can control root-knot nematodes? Some of the plants have been looking substandard for awhile, but I finally dug one yesterday. Then today, I dug two more, all of them 12-yr-old plants. Big galls on al...

OK, maybe I'm dense but I didn't see how it related.

Title of that topic? I"m not finding it.

Welcome. I'm afraid I'm not here as often as I used to me but I do try to check in occasionally. Please feel free to ask questions and we'll do our best to answer them.

What do you think of this plant? A (gardening) friend sent me the pictures this evening, with the message, "I have these two Halcyon hostas, and both have these yellow spots this year. All my other hostas are fine. I looked to see if I could divide one of them to eliminate the leaves with the yellow...

These days I'm not here as often as I am at FB, where there are lots more eyeballs in general. I'm not a member of the Hosta ID group; not to put too fine a point on it but I see a lot of uniformed guessing when I look there. (But if I joined I fear it would become a time suck.) One-at-a-time posts...

I've only got one real weedling, but I rather like it. It's probably from 'Lakeside Zinger'.

Thanks, Chris. Yes, a new log-in, and I couldn't remember my password (nor was it on my master list); so I had to change it, but it was time anyway.

2017 update - I started to move the small surrounding plants. Otherwise, not much difference.

2017 update - I was able to reach into the centre of the plant with a knife and cut out the sold colour section and it's doing well.

2017 update - not a lot of change.

2017 update - I moved her but I'm still not so sure she's in the right place. Maybe it needs to be a pot for awhile. Now she's looking leggy. Actually, she looked better in this picture than she does in 2018.

2017 update - July 12. Don't have much later as we were away the last half of August and the slugs were really bad in a very wet year.

2017 update - have I moved it? NO! We had an extremely rainy 2017 and until a few days ago drought in 2018. But it seemed larger last year. This photo July 19.

2017 update - this one continues to do well. And it withstood the abundance of slugs in our rainy year. Photo Aug. 15.
