Hallson Gardens

My Asiatics and panther lilies have been attacked with the dreaded red lily beetle. they devoured all the foliage and flower buds. I never saw them before this year or had any problems. I just soaked the soil in the areas with spinosad and just ordered Imidacloprid drench for the Spring. Anyone else...

Thanks!

This one is also new so it hasn't reached its full height yet-this stalk tops out at 43" supposed to get to 68", but a beauty none the less.

ugh-deer-so glad I don't have that problem, not too many rabbits either. I have some critter that took out my false cypress shrub, don't know what it was. But no deer, I have a 6 foot stockade fence around my property.

Are they all in the ground or are most potted??

Holy good god! Congrats! I have added several more to my existing list, but you have got me beat by a mile.

Oh what a great idea regarding the dirt on the hosta, I have the same problem ( now also have the tree debris in all the leaves,nothing can be done about that) I may look into the pine needle mulch just for the splash back if nothing else. Thanks for that idea!

I don't pot to many Hosta so I try to get the planting chore out of the way and put them in their home, not many new ones this year as the ones I put in a year or two ago are getting pretty big and am running out of room :eek: I meant the pine needles, looks so nice and neat. Does it keep the slugs ...

LOL-I always plant mine right away too. What type of ground cover material is that?

Finally my Hosta are worthy of a photo this season. These did great, some of my others seem smaller this year in other parts of my yard.

Wow-you just can't beat Chris's plants for size and health-They look great!

Yes these are nice healthy ones-several eyes apiece, must like the spot I put them in. Hope we get some rain, they keep saying rain and then just a few drops. Looking forward to your photos.

Got two-both look like this one

Agree-during the cold spell last month one of my huge pine trees fell and landed into one of my other pine trees (saved my roof) I already cleaned up all my leaves. I only have a couple of potted hosta. Our forecast is not below 32, they said 36 tonight.

I heard that also-crossing fingers. However none of my hosta are more than little pips except maybe one or two. So maybe not too much damage

mine are as follows as of yesterday

montana Aureomarginata
Francee
Stiletto
Rainforest Sunrise (concrete block container)
Teaspoon (concrete block container)
Aphrodite-(pot)
Empress Wu

Today-many, many more except S & S and Blue Angel

Looks like its going to be a nice sized plant, nice to see unfurling Hosta, about 1/2 of mine are finally breaking ground. Only one starting to unfurl is Francee. Said on the news this morning that we are a month behind schedule for plants. Only flowers I have in bloom are Hellebores, Anenome Blanda...
