This week's Rock Garden Tour features an original tune by friend of the rock garden, Elsa Vande Vegte, and a tip encouraging rock gardeners to plant roses in a bed of lard. It might be easier if you just listen to the podcast.
We intended to discuss garden variety insects in this week's Rock Garden Tour. But, as you'll hear in the podcast, we spent most of our time discussing Box Elder South Dakota instead. We talked about the town, and the bug, and whether or not the town was named after the bug, or the tree, or the creek. We also made it known that Box Elder (the town) is actually 2 words, not 1, while Boxelder (the bug) is spelled as a compound word (in some cases). It might be easier if you just listen to the podcast (see mp3 at the bottom of this post), or go here and listen to the whole show as heard last Sunday night on SDPB Radio (state wide).
Corporate asked us to avoid any garden variety banter in this week's show, so we sang a song about the Corn Palace instead. We did some non-garden related interviews too, with the owner of Mr. Bendo and a former voice of Gigglebees' Wilbur. Warp on over to this website here to listen to the whole thing. Or if you'd rather just hear a sampling, listen to the mp3 at the bottom of this post. Here's the playlist from the show if you're interested.
Carolina Chocolate Drops - Corn Bread And Butter Beans
The Jayhawks – King of Kings
Nellie McKay – The Very Thought Of You
Preston School Of Industry - Monkey Heart And The Horses Leg
Nothing says straight talk like a guy dressed up in a yeti costume. In this week's Rock Garden Tour we get serious on issues like gazanias, sensory garden organic pest control and Oasis, the band not the rest stop. I think you'll like the podcast (scroll down), but if you'd rather just dive in and listen to the entire hour long show as heard last night (Sunday) on SDPB Radio, you can just link warp on over to this page. Last night's show featured some great free range rock and roll too, here's the playlist.
In this week's show we investigated one of the toughest jobs in horticulture (other than Milorganite boat captain on the sewers of Wisconsin), I'm talking about inner city gardening here. Listen to the full hour broadcast as heard on SDPB Radio, or preview the podcast, which is 7 minutes of pure entertainment, featuring a new tune by the Rock Garden Tour Family Band. Thanks for the visit, keep it rural.
This week's Rock Garden Tour podcast features a clip where Flowerman discovers a naming device that will help you to come up with your noxious weed name. We also talked about binomial nomenclature.

Last night's show on SDPB Radio featured some most righteous free range rock and roll. Here's the playlist:
I searched for an 'eponymous' image on Google and it gave me this. This week's Rock Garden Tour podcast deals with misunderstood horticultural terms that lots of folks use in every day speak. Terms like organic, all natural and eponymous. Thanks to Rebecca Terk of Flying Tomato Farms for shining a light on these words, helping us to expose them in front of the entire state of South Dakota, and beyond. Also a big thanks to Mike Billeter and Mike Hay for admitting that they don't really know the definition of irony. Here's the playlist from this week's show, listen to the whole thing right here.
I took a week off to plant the garden. But, never fear, we're back in the swing of things now and all is right in the cosmos. This week's podcast features an interview with Christopher Langford (pictured above with herd of llama). I also mixed in some witty banter from Coach.

Letwan from Pest Control, 1 of 10 artists participating in Time Piece, works in her studio at Fresh Produce in downtown Sioux Falls.
This week's Rock Garden Tour on SDPB Radio was inspired by Time Piece, a 48 hour arts event hosted by the Ipso Gallery at Fresh Produce to benefit the State Theater. The concept paired sponsors and artists. Each sponsor provided their artist with just 2 words of inspiration. The artist then had 48 hours to create a piece of art based on the words, hence the name Time Piece. The exhibition opens this Friday night at Ipso Gallery at Fresh Produce and is shaping up to be something special. Anyway, the Rock Garden Tour sponsored a piece of work. In this week's episode Oil Can and Flowerman rack brains to try to sum up the radio show in 2 words or less. You can listen to the whole show as heard last night on SDPB Radio here. Or just listen to the 8 minute podcast at the bottom of this post.
Last night's Rock Garden Tour on SDPB Radio shocked the fashion world, from 5th Avenue in New York to Hollywood to Menno, SD. Tim Gun was like, 'DUDE!' A friend of the show sent us a link to a story about gardening, in GQ Magazine. So we produced a whole show about it. We talk about overalls and stuff - its chic. If you're interested, listen to the podcast at the bottom of this post, or visit www.sdpb.org/rockgardentour/ and listen to the whole friggin' show.
