After over a month of live shows across Mississippi, Felder Rushing is back in the studio. Sort of like riding a bike Felder gets back in the groove of solo studio life while the cheers from a live audience are just a recent memory. Yet two callers from today's show were actually friends he met on the road. Always at the ready with his brand of advice, he helps with your southern gardening questions and talks about how fun it was (safely) bringing the garden party to the people. Also, Felder gifts Java some garden fresh cauliflower he picked right before the show. This was a special grow for a plate of boneless cauliflower wings. Now let's get dirty!

While autumn is the proper name for the season between summer and winter, the name that you are most likely to hear is fall. This four-letter word perfectly describes this time of year with the falling temperatures, falling tree leaves, and falling away from the bright colors of summer. Today Felder brings in a great fall bouquet with color and flavor to represent the season and shares a message of what is on the other side of a gardener's life. And as always helps out with your southern gardening questions. Let's get dirty!

On this extended edition of the Gestalt Gardener Felder Rushing expresses his gratitude for all the people who support his show and the not-for-profit radio station MPB Think Radio. There are extra cheesy tunes during this special Drive Time episode and all the southern garden party talk you have come to love and expect.

Starting small is a great motto when approaching the art of gardening. Start with a pot, then move to a box and next thing you know you will be maintaining a beautiful garden. Or in Felder's case start with a coffee mug water garden before you graduate to the full-sized pond. During this round of southern gardening questions, Felder talks about magnolia tree roots, small peppers, and just about everything in between. Also with his cheesy tune, Felder pays tribute to one of the first true superstars of space. Let's get dirty!

When Felder is not on the road he loves a good show-n-tell segment in the studio. Today he brings in a persimmon seed to help predict the upcoming winter season. It may just be folklore but this is common practice in many parts of the country. Also during another round of southern gardening questions, Felder shares his opinion on the Farmers Almanac and planting by the moon. It is October and things are getting spooky. Let's get dirty!

Airs Fridays at 9 a.m. on MPB Think Radio

Each week, horticulturalist Felder Rushing shares stories, answers questions and just talks gardening. Of course, you’ll hear a bit of “cheesy music” in every program and you might hear a bad joke or two as well. The Gestalt Gardener is a long-time favorite on MPB Think Radio, due in no small part to Felder’s laid-back, your-neighbors-might-talk-but-so-what approach to gardening. Email Felder anytime at <a href="mailto:garden@mpbonline.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">garden@mpbonline.org</a> and listen Friday mornings at 9 and Saturday mornings at 10 to The Gestalt Gardener on MPB Think Radio. And in the meantime, as Felder says, get out and get dirty.
