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!

One thing that makes the south unique is that we can literally plant and get a harvest year-round. Is it time to plant for your second summer garden? Felder answers this question and helps with more southern gardening questions while enjoying a balmy 75-degree day across the pond.

Felder has a new mug and is working hard to whip it into shape. Nothing can replace the special feeling people got when they saw his coffee-stained mug. There was almost a raffle for one lucky winner to the opportunity to clean it. Yet Felder now has his brand new mug and maybe we will revisit that contest after he works on it for a while. Felder tells a few bad puns between your southern gardening questions and shares his excitement for some upcoming flower shows. Let's get dirty!

The summer is starting off great for our favorite horticulturist. Felder's blueberries are producing, his jalapenos are ripe, and for the first time in ages, he has grown his first red tomato. Then to top all of that he has been cleared for his annual overseas trip to Europe. Still ready to help with your southern gardening questions Felder shares advice and receives advice (in his own special way) on this edition of the Gestalt Gardener. Let's get dirty!

Gardening does not have to be a competition but knowing your tomatoes or potatoes came out better than your neighbors can make for some pretty smug backyard conversations. Felder brought in a highly satisfied (aka smug) feeling into the studio as he showed off his potato from his garden. During this round of southern gardening questions about bugs and ill spotted plants, Felder also sets the stage for one more "Felder on The Road" event. Tune in! (Cover photo plants: heirloom montbretia, tropical milkweed and its seeds)

Felder Rushing is getting ready to hit the road! But before he takes his John Deere green pickup truck around the state, he answers another round of southern gardening questions. And one that permeates throughout the episode is about getting rid of lubbers. Does anybody have a shop vac handy? But seriously Felder shares his latest garden bundle, brings in two cheesy tunes, and sets up a plant swap with a fan that has something special from Arizona. Let's get dirty!

The Gestalt Gardener | Before the Road

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.
