August 05, 2022 The Gestalt Gardener | Gardening All-Call
Felder Rushing and Java Chatman open up the conversation about gardening today! It's hot, it's muggy, it's humid and it may be a bit too early to plant but we keep going one step at a time. Email Felder anytime at [email protected] 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.

July 29, 2022 The Gestalt Gardener | Floriade Felder
While Felder spends most summers in Europe, it is not all rest and relaxation. Just this past week he made a trip to Amsterdam for the International Horticultural Exhibition Floriade in Almere. Floriade only happens every ten years and Felder reports some of the exhibition's highlights and how Mississippi plants and flowers are always a part of the showcase. During another round of southern gardening questions, he talks about fruit ripeness, dealing with insects, and how your next road trip can be much more awesome (or weird) with RoadsideAmerica.com.

July 22, 2022 The Gestalt Gardener | Heat Streak
This summer has been brutal and the heatwave made its way to Felder with record-setting high temperatures hitting Europe. If you are tending to the garden this time of year, please stay hydrated and wear the largest sun-shading hat your head will allow when outside. During this round of southern gardening questions, Felder talks about maypops, passionfruit, lawn watering, and more. Let's get dirty!

July 15, 2022 The Gestalt Gardener | Tomato Sugar
Felder is not one to shy from his opinions. He is also someone who is quick to admit when he is wrong. But for some reason, his changing views on tomatoes have been a few years in the making. Along with another round of summer gardening questions, Felder "eats some crow" after being proven wrong about the tomato ripening process. Let's get dirty!

July 08, 2022 The Gestalt Gardener | Bottle Tree Man
Bottle trees are more about attitude than gardening. You do not even have to have a garden to place a bottle tree in your yard. Felder has compiled just about everything he has seen and heard about bottle trees into one location: https://felderrushing.blog/bottle-trees/. Between answering questions about stink bugs and scorched plants he talks about bottle trees and how they bring a touch of "glass" to any space. Let's get dirty!

May 20, 2022 The Gestalt Gardener | Pollinators United
This episode of The Gestalt Gardner has everything from gladiolus to azaleas and avocados to Felder Halloween costumes. The best garden party on radio rock and rolls with calls from listeners across Mississippi and beyond. No calls from Peru like last show, but Felder did talk about the love that Mississippi's mighty magnolia receives worldwide. Also, he celebrates World Bee Day with a very appropriate tune.
