Hallson Gardens

Sounds just like I do it. Have you been watching me, sure hope not as I take quite awhile to make up my mind where the perfect spot is for each new hosta. Want to make sure it will like its neighbor when I plant them. It's been so cold here that I haven't got the urge to even plant my new purchases ...

June 28 sound good to me at this time. I'll be looking for something special on my spring hosta hunting trips to bring down. Trudy and Marlys it will be great to finally get to see your gardens. Trudy thanks for hosting the group. After the crazy winter we are having it will be so nice to get togeth...

Thanks for the info Linda. I will have to put it on my calendar. It was so much fun last year. Great to finally meet you. Well if you or I can't make it to Dubuque we'll probably see each other at Trudy's. Do you know where Reldon has been. Haven't seen him on the forum for a long time.

I picked this one up in June at Jim's when we were at the hosta festival in Dubuque. I sew and craft, & I just loved the name even if it is hard to fit on the tag for it. Hope it does well this year. I love the different coloring and even texture of the two colors.

I have had my HH for about 4 years and it looked allot like Hanks last year. I picked mine up when I was visiting my brother in Indiana and just had to pick up HH to remember him by. I will have to see how big it is this year. It sure does brighten up a dark spot in the hostas. Hank thanks for shari...

I have had this one for 2 summers and it really seems to multiple for such a mini. It doesn't need any extra care like some of the mini's. Nice one for me as I am still learning as I go.
Sue

Hi Trudy, the end of June sounds better for me also. I don't know what the date is for the Festival in Dubuque. Linda P. do you know? Come on LucyGoose it would be so much fun. Sure hope you can make it. I'll talk to Hosta12_Ia to see if she can make it that date. Charla sure hope you can come also,...

Happy New Year to everyone. May your hosta's be extra special this year after last years late spring cold temps.
Sue

Keep the flowers, purple is one of my favorite colors for blossums. I have Honeybells that has the most beautiful flowers. I know the hosta isn't that special, but I sure know when it is blooming. I always keep the flowers, you never know what color of baby will come up as a volunteer. I'm not into ...

I didn't know that about the head either. But we have so many that we don't have them fixed. Mother nature seems to take care of our cat over population. We have allot of cats that go hunting quite a ways from our buildings and we have allot of coyotes this year.
Sue

Love your cats, they are beautifull. We live on a farm and have about 25 give or take a few. But they are all different but special. Talk to them and they will help you with your troubles.
Sue

Linda, so sorry to see your pictures of all your broken branches. We had allot of ice. But our trees got trimmed by the ice last February and we didn't lose too many branches this time. Still is sure hard to walk without slipping or falling down. We all have cleats for our boots to do chores. The ic...

Sabrina,
I agree with all of the above plus I have a couple to add:
Dragon Tails
Stolen Kiss
I put allot of my mini's in new last year so will be able to tell more in 2008.
Yes this group will help you out with any questions you have. They have been a great help to me.
Good Luck,
Sue

Just got mine last spring so will be anxious to see how it grows next year. Hank, yours looks great. Thanks for taking the time for POTD, it sure is interesting and helpful to me.
Sue

Peggy, what a beautiful daughter you have. Sure is a cute page for her scrapbook. Am I correct. I am just into cards at this time. Don't know if I can get it together enough for scrapbooking.
Thanks for sharing
Sue

Great idea, you could even take hosta pictures and do this or tulips or roses or any pretty pictures. Wouldn't it look neat in the hosta bed. Thanks for sharing your project. I will have to try and find bowling balls now.
Thanks,
Sue

I have all the hostas and prennials planted. I moved an old fern peony and sure hope it grows back. I still have tulip bulbs to plant in the new hosta bed. Hope next spring is nice to them then this last spring was. They didn't have much of a chance to bloom with the cold temps so late. Hope to plan...

I just got Lullaby this summer and I can't remember seeing the flower, maybe I just didn't notice. I will make a note to be sure and check out the flowers next summer. Sure hope it makes it thru winter Chris yours is just beautiful.
Thanks,
Sue

I purchased mine from QVC and I think it was about 30.00. I also thought it was allot but a friend at work said it was worth it. We have a newfoundland that really needed to be brushed at the time. Boy does it work great. I just love it and so does Sally, the newfy, she just stands or sits for a lon...

Hank, thanks for the information on this one. I just got a call on my cell phone from a friend who was at a garden center that had hostas 40% off and she was reading off names. Guess what :D one was Hanky Panky and I told her to pick it up for me. Will get it Monday after work. Cell phones sure come...
