Felder Rushing

**The Radio Garden**

updated July 3rd

This is what it's all about - instead of your garden having solid azaleas or crape myrtles, plant blueberry shrubs (or a fig tree, or pomegranate bush, or...) for many years of delicious, nutritious, healthy fruit. And every year setting out transplants of tomatoes (or peppers, basil, okra, whatever) for a continuous harvest of home-grow goodness.

And it's never too late to get started!

This week's guests are Steve Bender, senior garden editor for Southern Living Magazine, and Jackson gardener Jim Powell, whose transcendent style makes things seem so easy.

For photos of Jim's cottage garden, go to www.felderrushing.net and scroll down a bit.

These tomatoes were all grown in a five-gallon bucket of potting soil on a sunny deck, and the blueberries were picked right from a regular-size landscape shrub (that will have gorgeous fall colors).
