Hallson Gardens

I actually knew what that first orchid is!!! Caliloo, I bought a Phalaenopsis like the one in the first photo on April 13th. It is still blooming.... Watch out, orchids are addicting. David~someone who initiated me to orchids told me that orchids are to the plant world what man is to the animal king...

Thanks, Pam! I just PM'd you.
j~

Karma~ Great tour!! Thanks. It's obvious that a lot of time and care is spent out there....nary a weed in sight. (Except for that one back and to the left of the large tomato plant..... :wink: ) What is "messenger" and why is one forbidden to use it this year? Seems to me......but then again.... :ro...

Party Music~ Where do you get your starts from? Is this the variety that has the purple veined skin??? I am very interested in growing garlic....however, my interest is only superceded by my ignorance! :P Help???? I've told my kids I'm going to do this, and they all cook, so I need to come through o...

VT~ Great job!! I love your curved bed....always thought curvy beds look more inviting... And I love your markers....Using natural materials in a garden just seems to work! Plenty of space for your babies to grow and flourish....you will enjoy this garden for a long, long time. Congrats on a job wel...

Spider!!
Went out to switch the sprinkler and found some renegades just getting ready to blow!

Want 'em????

They are currrently safely enclosed in a baggie on the kitchen counter. If you have enough, they can easily be deposited in the circular file where they would have gone anyway....

I just saw this.... Karma!! Wow! Everything looks so great...How large is your total garden area....flowers and vegetables? We actually ate homegrown corn here over the 4th! Earliest it's ever been available. One of the local farms here--they have the very best everything, especially the corn---trie...

Pam~
Could you eat it?? Or is this a type that is strickly ornamental? How large do the bulbs get? Now that I see the photo, I think there is a little of this type growing out at the cottage---not much though, I always pulled it up thinking it was a weed!!

Nathalie~
You have an eye for beautiful composition...I envy the talent---to say nothing of your garden!!

Keep sharing!!

All are beautiful.
That first shot is simply stunning.

Karma~Another garlic post reminded me I had posed this question here....

What is "social" garlic? And does it really keep the moles away? Just starting to see tell-tale tunnels on the perimeter of the lawn....

Heck, if you had posted this last month, I could have harvested a never-ending supply----all from my neighbors!! :lol: My grandmother used to tell me about going out in the spring and picking dandelion greens when the plants were young and tender....Guess that was before the days of pesticides and h...

Wow, so pretty!!

Balloon flower was one of mine that traveled last week across the state from my old yard. The plant looks very happy, but I think the transplant has slowed it down a little...Can't wait to see it bloom.

Is this BF one you deleloped? It's beautiful...

Love this photo!! Somewhere in a post far, far away, I asked if anyone grew garlic...I never have, but someone I met through hospice saod that her very Italian father grows wonderful garlic---so much better than what the stores offer. I'm intrigued, and would love to try some... Have any suggestions...

Twilight!!!

WooHoo!!! A friend of mine brought some of my hostas from my old house to me last week and I couldn't remember what two were!!

Twilight!!! One down, one go.

Thanks for this post---and the pic.

That orange hat would great on a friend of mine!!

Too many interests....not enough time!!!! But one of Mom's Hospice volunteers dropped in last week and she was about to go visit her Dad who is an avid vegetable gardner. She mentioned that he grew fantastic garlic I've checked a couple of web sites as to "how to" and it looks like fun. And, sounds ...

Congratulations!!

I love the name! It suits the form of the plant so perfectly...did you come up w/ that name in a flash of inspiration, or was the name in your brain all along from some other connection?

Very

Ohmygoodness~
Neighbors at my old house have told me that JPW is everywhere!!! It's even traveled to my front yard, so no doubt it's left babies everywhere....I hope the house sells before Joe swallows it!!!

Linda~ That is good to hear. If I have any luck w/ this, and the antenna as such is not used someday, I can see chopping it off, rather than removing it. Which is really planning ahead seeing as I am yet to plant the clematis. And my last attempt at one at the cottage wasn't too successful. However ...
