The Radio Garden

The Radio Garden is a tiny plot in Felder's celebrated cottage garden that has "something done to it" every single week of the year - regardless of weather - to show that anyone can garden in a small space without working up a sweat. Along with selected seasonal annuals (antique and modern hybrid flowers, small-space vegetables and useful herbs), it includes hardy perennials, bulbs, and dwarf shrubs and antique roses. There is also a water feature, a large pot made from a tire, and night lighting. It is mostly natural, using compost, mostly organic fertilizers and no pesticides.  Visit every week to see what Felder is up to - that you can be doing in your own garden.  

This Week's Chore:

It was great weather this week, but the Gestalt Gardener was wrapped up in other work, which meant the garden was neglected; rather, it hummed along just fine without any help at all! One thing that did get done, was some extra "dusty miller" plants were set out; because they were grown in biodegradable peat pots, the rims were torn off at planting to keep them from acting like wicks and drying out roots in the sun and wind.
