- Description
- This week, Felder and Java tell us about the work they were finally able to do this past weekend in Java's garden. They also answer calls and livestream questions about a lot of okra, a lot of crepe myrtles, and a LOT of other Mississippi vegetables. Let's get dirty!
Each week, horticulturalist Felder Rushing shares stories, answers questions and just talks gardening. Of course, you’ll hear a bit of “cheesy music” in every program and you might hear a bad joke or two as well. The Gestalt Gardener is a long-time favorite on MPB Think Radio, due in no small part to Felder’s laid-back, your-neighbors-might-talk-but-so-what approach to gardening.
Email Felder anytime at garden@mpbonline.org 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.

- It's Arbor Day! Every day according to The Gestalt Gardener, Felder Rushing, is a good day to plant a tree. Trees provide so many benefits to us, animals, insects, and the planet. Be sure to go out and plant a tree, especially on this Arbor Day 🌳
Catch new episodes of The Gestalt Gardener every Friday at 9 a.m. on MPB Think Radio and YouTube at YouTube.com/@MSPublicBroadcasting
Each week, horticulturalist Felder Rushing shares stories, answers questions and just talks gardening. Of course, you’ll hear a bit of “cheesy music” in every program and you might hear a bad joke or two as well. The Gestalt Gardener is a long-time favorite on MPB Think Radio, due in no small part to Felder’s laid-back, your-neighbors-might-talk-but-so-what approach to gardening.

- The Most Dangerous Prison in The United States is in Mississippi

- Description
- Parchman Prison, in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, and particularly its Unit 29, has developed a reputation as one of the most dangerous prison environments in the Western Hemisphere, let alone the United States.
In a three-week period from late 2019 into 2020 was its worst period yet. In total, Parchman saw 16 violent deaths in that period alone, placing it among the ranks of the world’s most dangerous prisons per capita.
It was in that context that Derrick Willis and more than 30 other men in Unit 29 began working on an anthology of essays, art, and poetry that captured their daily reality on the zone with jarring, personal realism.
MPB News Reporter Michael McEwan interviewed Louis Bourgeois, publisher of Unit 29: Writing from Parchman Prison. Read more at mpboneline.org/news or https://www.mpbonline.org/blogs/news/life-death-and-the-surreal-at-parchmans-infamous-unit-29/
