Hallson Gardens

Funny. No one has stepped forward to take credit...... (wait 'til they hear about the streaker)

You don't keep the anthers (which dry up and are hard to handle anyway) just the pollen. I fold the foil up in 3rds the pollen loaded Q-uip, fold over the sides, flatten it to get rid of air pockets, then into a film cannister. That pollen I used was as bright a yellow as when i gathered it! ( The f...

r some emergency pollen from last year in the bottom of my freezer....... I would like to express my appreciation to whoever came up with the pollen-loaded halved Q-tip in folded foil in which to both collect and dispense pollen. Better than "expressing my appreciation"......make that somewhere betw...

This puzzles me---in the Southern Belle ad.

"YOU ARE BIDDING ON ONE 3 INCH POT WHICH WILL HAVE ONE OR MORE PLANTS, THEY WILL BE DUG THE SAME DAY OF SHIPMENT WATERED AND PACKED. "

I don't get it.

Does anyone here use an automatic sprinkler system? If so how much water should I be dedicating to the hosta gardens per week. If you can convert it into GPH, this would help a great deal so we know how to adjust the sprinkler system correctly. I haven't a clue :-? 3x a week for 3 hours each wateri...

I knew I would think of something else! Please send your package via Priority Mail, with delivery confirmation, so in case of a lost package, we may be able to track it. If anyone else thinks of something, please add to this! :) How about editing your original post, updating it with ALL the particu...

Well, that's what I thought too. One year I was gone during the trade, and the next year my hostas got pulverized (literally) by hail. And the trades were fun...

It's amazing how many hostas even a long list one doesn't have...... (I've lost a few, which I need to update the list)

I noticed the price of canned peaches went up considerably....I think for the 12-oz size it was $1.80.

ME, TOO!

The shiny one I noticed today....orange pot in front.

Mine is "semi-gloss", not high gloss like Queen Jospehine, whereas all of my other yellow green What I meant to say was "all of my other yellow green seedlings are matte. I have a tray of yellow seedlings, and this morning I noticed a single one with HIGH gloss---I'll take a photo after I go to the...

For a taste of "Minnesota Nice" watch the preview.

This was a good little movie, IMHO.

is it from the registered hosta named olive oil? i've been looking for that plant but can't find it. doug No, I didn't even know one existed--Just an "assigned" name. It is from a 2nd gen. seedling of lost tag progeny(!) OP :-) Just looked it up in HL, I'm surprised someone would choose that goofy ...

Even at the 2-leaf stage, this seedling stood out. Yes, it was a yellow, but it was different from the others, in that it had an olive cast.......and the leaves were shiny. The leaves have a nice "droopy" habit, and the color has stayed consistent all 6 + months. Nicknamed: "Olive Oil". In this phot...

Night before last, I got another red alert about 9pm for a frost warning from 2am-5am......ran out and got Liberty and m. Aureomarginata pots and had been putting them in the Garage......but this time after so many other nights, I just brought it into the Living Room.......at least I remembered to t...

These are only 6 months old, and some are 8-10 inches across, and never been dormant.

Back to TC vs. mail order grower discussion. Much of the time the "2nd year TC' is a tc that's a TC that's gone thru one domancy....and a day, which technically means it is in it's "2nd year". I find such disappointedly small for the price. And I'm usually looking at plant that I'll have to wait for...

Mary Ann, explain! What are you doing? I am interested in storing hostas in fridges in warm zones......like if I were to move to Monterey Calif.
