Hallson Gardens

All I can say after looking at the slide show is "WOW".
The pictures are amazing. I don't know which one would be my favorite.
Great Job!

Wow, what a stunning list!
I only have 114, you put my poor list to shame! If I spent less time babying, I might have more time for collecting!
Great Job, Keep it up!

The top of my list is Pandoras Box - because it is such a good grower, it makes me smile, and it is very pretty. Fried Green Tomatoes - Very vigorous and fragrant Goober - It's just so odd I had to have it :P Strip Tease - I like the distinct markings Hirao Magesty - It stands to attention, and stan...

Hi Everyone!
I really hate loosing anything!

I wish I could come across some of those! You're right, they probably would work the same. I'll keep an eye out though!

And yes, I really do baby them. My plants and gardens are my sollitudes. They keep me so entertained!

The cheaper diapers that doesn't have the cloth like layers, break down easily, and are easier to work with,(in this case more absorbancy for your buck) by the next year, there is very little left. Which is the reason why I stay on top of it every spring. Have you ever seen a cheap diaper on a baby ...

FreakyCola; :lol: My youngest girl reminds me of your peronality :lol: First, creat a list of all the things you need to do! :lol: Do not purchase, leave your gardens, think about or ponder anything other than what's on your list. :lol: Deal with the list first! :lol: I would start with planting, or...

Hello Freakycola I only have 114 Hostas, but adding approximately 20 this year. As for the diaper thing I'll try to explain as best as possible; I ussually tear open the diaper, and discard the outer lining and straps (the cheaer ones work the best). Then I take the inners and spread them in the bot...

That is so pretty! Do the pictures come with scratch and sniff?

Who needs a front yard? Or a back yard? I don't..... Beautiful job on the gardens, I like the pic. I also spend a lot of time trying to figure out where I want things. The front yard of my house is finally done, and the Back yard will start this year. Yes there is a reason to my madness! Moles and l...

I think the easiest way would be to try and determine how many divisions you could get from a mature plant. For example; (Keep in mind that I am a purchaser by profession) Mature Hosta; 3-4 eyes per pot x however many pots x todays purchasing price. To obtain today's purchase price you should get 3 ...

I've been told that I get just a little too carried away, when I start Babying them in the spring. In the Spring, some of the more delicate plants get the full treatment, this includes digging them out, lossening the waist band, to give them more room, Checking the chicken wire and door screen mesh ...

Great Topic! Something to think about. It's very true, that like every collection, this to has a value that goes unforseen as we pass on. So catalouging, pricing, discripting, and mapping should all be included. Everything has a value, as long as we give it to the ones that will appreciate it for wh...

It is definately Pandora's Box. It is a mini, And in reference to it growing like crazy, I mean; I can pull divisions from her and it grows back rapidly, and the divsions from her grow rapidly also. I'll be watching this year to see what comes from her, and I'll keep you updated. Sorry for not being...

I'm Possitive I've seen seed pods come from her. I have been known to be wrong! :oops: I am hoping that I'm not! But If I am, is there another way, to get her to grow faster inside? I've got my lights. My Husbands work, changed all the light fixtures, from 4 - 40 Watt floresent Fixtures, to some oth...

Every Year I go through the Feb. Blues, I need the greens! I've determined that next Fall I'm going to try seedlings! The Top Hosta that I want to try with, is the one that has never let me down; Pandora's Box! (OF course I will try some of the stripped ones that come off others, just to see what I ...

I sent you a PM. I was having problems posting the Pic's!
I have some pic's that might interest you if you are looking for landscaping and Hosta's!

First off Maybe he was having a bad day, and thought you should enjoy it with him! :eek: As for the Caster Beans, I'd now definately put them against my Fence line! I dealt with people like that, and after reading your original post, I thought it was probably along those lines as you last discribed....

Thank you for the warm welcome; I am an International Purchaser for the Automotive industry. I have 2 Teen age girls~ and a wonderful Husband, that fully supports my ever growing Hosta Gardens! I live in a very small town, Just north of Guelph Ontario. (Southern) Most of my Hosta came from #1 Hosta'...

I know that I'm new to the forum, however I could offer some advise. Arbours are great, but "can" get expensive! :oops: Been there! A cheap alternative is to create your own private jungle, using Casterbean plants and Large Sunflowers! Both can be started from seed! My Caster Beans Reached 12ft last...

I Had an opportuninty to speak with a 'Gent' from "Hallson's" today. I must say, very attentaive and easy to talk to! After discussing with him the issues surrounding the border and so on, he was very informative and helpful.. With the rise in regulations surrounding plants and crossing the border a...
