Each week gardening expert Felder Rushing talks with professionals and amateurs alike about all aspects of gardening and share stories. He’ll also take your calls with any garden-related questions or stories.
This past week's visit to Moss Point yielded several hot shots for Felder - including three bottle trees (two in VERY rural South Mississippi) and the "Truck Crop"done by folks welcoming The Gestalt Gardender to Moss Point for a library fundraiser (with over 250 attendees). I also spent some time with frequent Gestalt Gardener guest Tom Mann and some of his home-fruit growing buddies. Lee Sharp, one of the most knowledgeable home fruit growers on the Gulf Coast, demonstrated how he roots muscadine vines in a double potful of potting soil hung by wires under the vine.
