While answering another round of southern gardening questions Felder helps with bougainvilleas, ornamental trees, and provides inspiration for a Tupelo's artist's next painting. Let's get dirty!

August 27, 2021The Gestalt Gardener | Touchdown
After a few months away from the Mississippi heat and humidity, Felder Rushing is back home and has an intact garden to show for it. He always says that with proper planning and patience your garden can run by itself and actually produce. While happy to be home, Felder can not stop talking about the heat and what is happening in your southern gardens. Also because one of our callers (you're welcome Jessie) here is Java's cauliflower buffalo wing recipe:

Buffalo Cauliflower Wings ( courtesy of Delish.com)
INGREDIENTS
1 head of cauliflower, cut into large florets
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup hot sauce (such as Franks)
4 tbsp. melted butter
Ranch dressing, for serving
Celery sticks, for serving (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450° and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Make batter: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, milk, and garlic powder until combined. Season with salt and pepper and whisk until the batter is smooth.
Dredge cauliflower in batter until evenly coated. Shake off excess batter and transfer to prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cauliflower is crispy and golden around edges, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile make buffalo sauce. In a large bowl, whisk together hot sauce and melted butter. Toss baked cauliflower “wings” in sauce before serving.
Serve with ranch dressing and celery sticks, if desired.

July 30, 2021 The Gestalt Gardener | Bye Bye July
It's the end of July and it's hot. That is pretty much all that is happening right now. Felder offers his supportive advice for this round of southern gardening questions but sometimes you just have to hold on and wait until the ride comes to a complete stop. Let's get dirty!

July 16, 2021 The Gestalt Gardener | 2nd Summer Garden
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.

July 09, 2021 The Gestalt Gardener | New Mug Felder
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!

June 04, 2021 The Gestalt Gardener | Smug Mug
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)
