Hallson Gardens

Well, I see alot have checked out my post but only one response. :cry: ICGardner, thanks for the post. :) I am working out the kinks and have started making soy candles, right now, just basically making them for myself and family. It's really fun but it does take some trial and error. You have to "t...

Does anyone have any experience making soy candles? I want to make some as gifts for Christmas but don't really know where to start. :snow: Some people say to use Cargill wax others don't like it, some like scented oils from one place others don't.......You get my drift seems everyone has a differen...

How Cool! :cool: Haven't seen any PM around here but then again haven't been looking. :???: As for the albino deer, very nice pic Josh. There used to be one that lived just outside of Walker but was hit on the road a year or so ago. It was so neat to drive by one pasture and see it grazing with the ...

How neat! I have to admit to being a softy when it comes to critters too. I've been known to stop the vehicle for a painted turtle and then go to the store 2 blocks away to get a box to put him in and take him to the creek on the way to our house about 1 mile away. (I had to! He was right beside the...

How neat! I had never seen a Northern Flicker until this year. We just moved to our new home 2 years ago and am seeing alot of birds I've never seen. The bad thing is we only have "baby" trees so nothing to really support alot of birds as far as nesting goes. Plus Blackie the cat seems to keep a clo...

Thanks for your replies! Wouldn't you know it today is my birthday and what do we see on our way to town? "BLUE HEELER PUPPIES FOR SALE" :( Told the hubby that's all I wanted but then took that back, I know the yellow lab isn't ready for a puppy and neither am I. Have to wait another year or two. :?...

Hi! Anyone have any info they can share with me on Blue or Red heelers. We had one when I was a kid growing up but I was little and don't remember alot about what to look for and what to stay away from. He was an awesome dog though and I am hopeful that I can add one to the family in the next year o...

How pretty. Mine aren't doing anything yet, they don't appear to be the same type of hyacinth I had last year, they are a different shape. Luckily there is a pond tour this weekend so I am hopeful that I will find some like what I had last year. My lilies have recovered from the yellow labs trips to...

Hey I have a quick question since it is a raised pond, can you winter fish over in it? If you can it's something I definately am interested in. I have a yellow lab (with alot of pup still in her) and she loves my little preformed, inground pond. Luckily the fish have survived her "trips" to the pond...

How completely discouraging! Went to a local greenhouse/landscaping business today and thought I'd take a look at the hosta. Just out of curiosity.:eek: :eek: :eek: They were scary, many were almost impossible to identify because they were so messed up with what I am sure was HVX. Some of the plants...

This bird on caffeine! How about whiskey? Just kidding, I would never do that, then again, who knows.

HELP!!! We have a robin that starts flying into our patio door and window every morning at about 5:30. It keeps it up sometimes until afternoon. (Unless it's raining) :lol: I've put window clings up to try to discourage it and put clothes infront of it in hopes that it will not reflect so much. It s...

How awesome! There isn't a more beautiful sight than a bald eagle. We are occasionally lucky to see a pair that nests, about 7 miles from our home, and had one visit us in the field behind our house last month enjoying lunch. It's great to see them making a comeback, I remember when I was a kid we n...

Just wanted to say "HI" to everyone. I figured after what I read about the HVX yesterday this was the place to be. Wouldn't you know it I had just purchased 2 new Gold Standard and Golden Tiara. :eek: Wondering if I should just dig them up and chuck them in the burn pile. The other hosta I have are ...
