Great video. 😊
The story about your brother, Paul, getting startled in the house reminded me of something from my childhood that I'd like to share. We were home alone one night without my dad there. A bat got into our house and my mother was terrified of them; it was the old "they give you rabies" thing. She rushed us all out of the house and was fretting about what to do. There was an old man, old to me, who rode a bicycle all over the area. He happened to be riding by and my mother called to him to ask if he would help with the bat. He got to it with gusto. He got a bathroom towel and started following it around. He finally yelled, "I got it!' and we peered through the window as he struggled with it. He proudly came out on the porch to show us that he had bravely got the bat. He opened the towel slowly to reveal he had caught and struggled with my little brother's brown shoe!! We couldn't help but laugh and he rode off leaving us with a continuing bat problem. 🤣
😂😂😂😂❤
Thank you for sharing that story! Matt and I got a big laugh out of it this morning 😊
😅😅😅that’s funny 😂😂😂
My mother taught her children to never, never, ever take for granted the gifts God gave us in nature. On of her children ( six months old) starved in a concentration camp. She kept her oldest alive by hunting for worms and rodents. The younger one was too young to process it. So if you have wild grapes, fruit or veggies or like deer, rabbits, you use it and store it. Rough times are coming again. God does His part, now we have to do ours. 🙏😘
Wow!
My grandmother and her sisters were in concentration camps as girls. They pulled potatoe peels from the pigs food, and even tried eating raw eggs.
They would not waste ANYTHING.
My grandmother always had a garden, and she would pick every eadable wild plant she knew about.
@@ilovecats9336Waste Not want Not ❤❤❤❤❤
@@ilovecats9336 my dad lived through that war he escaped the camp and saved his older brother from it too/and stole potato peels the germans threw out to feed his parents and siblings/after that he never ate them again!
Please pray for our country 🙏
Praying For Rain 🌧️ And America ⭐ God Bless America Again ✨
Thank you for watching!
When the world seems to get to getting crazy we have this channel and its community to restore our faith in humanity. Thank the lord 🙏🏻
I've said it before but I'll say it again, these are my all time favorite videos Tipper and Matt. Just listening to you two chat about life, the garden, and the old ways is so heartwarming. The small gestures like Matt leaving the watermelon for you just melts my heart. You two are wonderful humans and the world would be a much better place if we could all just appreciate the simple things in life like the Presley family does. Thank you for sharing with us. It is so wonderful to have a bit of a lighthearted escape during these turbulent times we're living through.
Thank you!
Thanks Tipper and Matt for another great video. Praying for our country. We need more people like you all showing love and what family is all about. You continue bringing postive and wholesome content to CZcams. Thank you so much.❤🙏
Amen! I agree 💯.
Thank you!!
It looks like we are getting rain all week. So happy for you and your garden. God Bless ❤.
The pocket watch!! How sweet that is! They use to appreciate things! My grandpa always carried a pocket watch!
Years ago my mother said their newlywed budget depended on my Daddy harvesting squirrels and deer . They had a freezer locker in town as they did not have an electric refrigerator until weeks before I was born. They had meat chickens they would kill and drive to town to the food locker. Mom said when she took delivery of their new GE electric freezer she thought she had died and gone to heaven. Now it is hard to imagine ice men delivering ice to your house .
You jogged my memory. I’m 83 years young and do remember ice delivery for our ‘ice box’. We had a card that my mom would put out telling the delivery guy what size block to leave. Different times certainly as I’ve been doing computer work all afternoon.
I have never heard of that thank you for sharing!
Enjoy seeing you in the garden and eating popsicles. God bless our country
Pray for rain and our country🇺🇸
Hey! appreciate the shout out, Let me tell you those noise makers will scare the snot out of you every time you walk by haha! even though I know they're there they get me every time.
😊 we can’t believe how loud they are. Hope to put them out today 😊
Tell Matt that he's right. A Cherokee Purple tomatoes sandwich is the best!
You can chop the garlic and add a little olive oil to help it sort of stick together. Scoop it into little balls on a cookie sheet to freeze them then store them in a ziploc in your freezer. Each little scoop ( or two) is just right to add to sauces or recipes. I like pan fried turnips and potatoes!
Great tip!
Can you put the little scoops of garlic in little covered ice trays?
I've seen another CZcamsr do something similar, but she says to make sure they're double bagged or everything will smell like garlic!
Matt, actually there has been quite a resurgence in interest in canning and preserving again. Many of the homesteading channels I watch teach those skills, thankfully.
One good thing about these channels...it encourages others to do the same. There are thousands of Amish and Mennonite families in the U.S. who have canned their own food for decades. My mom never used a pressure canner. It was always water bath. It's always good to hear from others out there trying to carry on the old ways that are still important.
Your family is truly blessed to be able to live in the same place for so many generations. Those old home places are becoming subdivisions in our area in Northwest Florida. I’m grateful to God we have a home and land on a river that is surrounded by State land and can’t be developed. ❤🙏
Looks like you have a really nice breeze today. When you said there was no humidity I can almost feel it from memory. I'm excited for your corn too, there's nothing like home grown corn, especially home canned corn deep in the winter. Yummm.
Thank you! We just made tomato sandwiches of our first Cherokee Purple. Our first garden in 15 years and our first garden in Arkansas.
Wonderful!
I know I’ve said this before but ….i Love the songs of your Beautiful Birds 🐦 they are just singing like crazy! Makes your home and garden just Lovely. God Bless, He certainly Loves you 😊
I love to listen to you & Matt tell stories about the family and traditions that you all are keeping alive. The idea of picking the grapes from the very same vines they picked from generations ago must be an amazing feeling of connection to your people and to the land itself. That’s such a rare gift in today’s world. I also ordered some solar motion detector things off of amazon. One makes sounds and the other will turn on a sprinkler. We’ve had skunks take up residence in our garden and they’re eating everything up, even the flowers. We can’t go outside after dark because they seem to think they live here, and we’re afraid to get sprayed. The poor dogs can’t even go outside after dark. I feel sorry for them having to hold it until morning, no matter how bad they have to go. I hope these solar things work because these dang skunks spray all night when anything startles them, so the smell is even lingering inside the house. Keep your fingers crossed and please pray for us that it gets rid of them and we’ll do the same for you all. I love animals, but not so much when it comes to them wrecking the garden and keeping us and the animals trapped in the house. Stay cool. Be well & take care.
Put up an electric fence during the day.
I would love to channel Tippers calmness. She seems so calm and always relaxed.
True Grit Appalachain Ways is one of my most favorite channels. They’re the sweetest people. I adore their content. Love y’all too.
Always enjoy Tipper and Matt in the garden.
I truly enjoy watching this channel , it takes me away from this crazy world we live in . Gods blessings upon you two and your family .
"What am I happy about" Hang in there Matt life's a rollercoaster ; )
😊 Thank you!
Matt answered Tipper like a long married husband! LOL!! God bless!
Try the corn 2 to 3 minutes in the microwave on high with the husks and silks still on. The microwave steams the corn in the husks. Let the corn sit for about a minute after you microwave the corn and then cut the stalk end off with a sharp knife. Then, you just squeeze the silks end and the corn comes out the cut end where the stalk was and it'll be clean of silks when it comes out. That method sure beats steaming up the kitchen in the hot summer months. There is many CZcams videos on it. It works perfectly for me. Thanks for the video.
Yum! Thank you 😊
It is faster, uses no water and creates no heat.
That's what I do!! Works every time!! Blessings to you.
always a joy to 'sit and chat' a while with you both and see what you are doing for the day. Even though I live in Canada, I do have family who are from and live in your great country so praying for God to Bless America again on this 'day after.' 🙏
Turnips stewed downed with bacon grease and just a pinch of sugar. Yum yum!!!!
When I was still living at my parents house a Middle Eastern woman that had moved in down the street saw we had a wild grape of some kind growing in a tree in our yard close to the road. She ask if she could pick some of the leaves to make stuffed grape leaves. Mom told her yes and for years she would come by and pick big baskets full. She told me one time she would freeze them and thaw as needed. She made the kind stuffed with rice, herbs, meat and I think pine nuts and then stewed in a tomato type sauce till done. wish I had gotten the recipe but was a teenager who could have cared less at the time, lol.
My friend stuffed Grape leaves 🍃 She was Greek 🍃 she stuffed yellow Squash was so delicious 😋
Stuffed squash sounds good.
Yum that sounds good 😊
My family thinks I’m off my rocker at how much I love canning, proud to know there’s others. Also, a huge thank you on how I can my breakfast sausage now with the hot grease, turning it upside down. That has saved me so much time. When you have 200 lbs or more of sausage at a whack, you get back a full day or two.
Praying your corn turns out a good crop.
Those turnips will make a mighty fine meal! Wonderful surprise.
Minced garlic with a little olive oil in ice cube trays to freeze. Then just pop them out as you need.
For those who might not know, garlic is very easy to grow. This is one plant that you can improve your harvest from one year to the next. After harvesting, set aside your biggest bulbs to replant in the fall. Eat the smaller garlic but replant the largest. If you do that each year, you'll continuously grow larger, better garlic each year. I've been doing this for several years and get really large bulbs.
oh my the turnips looked so good. that was hilarious about Paul and big bird, i was sure you was gonna say he shot at it, haha. i like to watch True Grit Appalachian Ways.
Turnips and fried potatoes yum
Love going in the garden with y'all !! Praying for rain for all of us ,we need it badly here in Rock Spring, Ga, it's 103 here today but we have a great breeze 😊
I hope we both get some 😊 Thank you!
When they were kids, my husband and his brother would go out in the garden with a salt shaker, go pick turnips and sit right down and eat them.
Thanks Tipper and Matt, I really needed a spell of just listening to you folks. Times have gotten complicated in my life and y’all give me a nice quiet reprieve.❤️
❤❤❤
I’m glad you enjoyed it! And I pray for simpler times for you 😊
Talking about lay by time reminds me of the old Gershwin tune (from Porgy and Bess) "Summertime and the Living' is Easy". Fish are jumpin' and the cotton (or for you, corn) is high. Makes me think about being a kid on summer break. That was easy living!
One of my favorite musicals🎶🎵
Your videos are such a blessing. May the Lord bless the family.
59 degrees? And it's 80° before the humidity at 5:00 in the morning here? And I'm only about a 2-hour drive from y'all!? My God all mighty...
Picking them butterbeans!! My husband picks them when they are half full, young tender green butter beans, they are so good! Little salt, little bacon grease and boil until tender!!
I really have enjoyed your last couple of videos where y'all talk while picking vegetables. Y'all must both be wearing mics now. I like how you and Matt pick at one another. "Your in my space woman" that was so funny 😂
when i was a boy i helped dad pick fox grapes every fall. it is to me the best jam ever. would love some today.
There's a poet/farmer I met and she has a poem about bean picking here on CZcams Laura Lamb Brown-Lavoie - Bean Meditation. That performance was at the biggest women's poetry competition we have and she got the whole place to join in with her. It was like prayer. I watch you and think of her, I watch her and think of you all.
Poor Matt. Trying to get his work done and Tipper is " what's this, what's that, what did we plant here?". Good practice for when the grand boys are old enough to help. Lol
Hi Tipper and Matt, I really enjoy this format of you guys walking and conversing together, through the garden it feels like I’m are walking with you. It warms my heart, walking along with you guys! The weather is upside down, it’s in the high eighties. Usually it gets down to 60ish overnight. Our normal mid 70s to 80s, in July. We live close to the north eastern USA border.❤️🙏🇨🇦
Just spent time in my garden watering, looking at things growing, picking up dead leaves which blew off our trees in last night's windstorm, deadheading flowers and just enjoying my yard. I can't imagine caring for a garden and property the size of yours! It must be hours of work for you every day but SO rewarding. 😉🍅☀️
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕🌄
You can put your Garlic cloves in a small jar and cover them with honey... good medicine. We also pickle some of our garlic cloves. Thin sliced pickled garlic cloves on thick slice homemade bread toasted in the oven.... yummmmm!
Great tip!
I really appreciate your videos. Love the banter between you and Matt while you pick beans. Nice that you have a microphone so we can hear while you pick. ❤❤
Thanks 👍
It was brutally hot here today in North Florida. My son in law mowed my 2 acres and cut brush and I don't know how! Glad you got a cool morning to work in.
Well the three of us enjoyed our pop cycles again today.
😊 thank you for visiting with us!
😂 it won't last but a minute 😂 truer words were never spoken. Matts sarcasm keeps me laughing.
The garden looks great 👍
😊
Thank you both,For a pleasnt evenig in yhe garden❤
It's cool seeing what you harvest. Thank you Tipper and Matt.
Nice harvesting and tending video. Nice weather makes for comfortable gardening. God Bless America. Lifting up the family of the man who lost his life and those injured. God help us.
OMG wouldn't I love some homemade hominey. I grew up helping make it and eating it. There is no comparison to the homemade and the store bought. I miss that and the canned sausage we used to make. I can still taste them today. Probably two of my favorites along with wilted lettuce. Oh my, I am making myself hungry. Bless your sweet family.
I have found where I live in Oklahoma, during dry spells, the plants are more susceptible to things. When my plants do well, we have had plenty of rain.
Dog days set in dry. Your garden looks better than my containers
Lol!!! ooohhh Tipper! Matt is so funny! Lol! He and my husband act just alike. Lol! You both are so precious. I enjoy spending time with you 2 when I have a chance. We put up 9 quarts of peaches and 9 quarts of tomatoes over the weekend. We're having to freeze our tomatoes due to them not all getting ripe at the same time. And with very little rain. I'm thankful the Lord's bounty that he provides for us. I know you and Matt feel the same of your bounty the Lord gives to you and your precious family. God's continued blessings on you and your dear family.
Love that! Thank you 😊
Hello 👏👋 Y'all It's 103° In Gainesville, Georgia Today. Too Hot For Me To Be Out, About.... Stay Safe, Hydrated....
Thank you for another fine video, I enjoy watching ya'll harvest -- such a blessing.
Meagan (from True Grit Appalachian Ways) does a lot of open canning fruit like you do. I enjoy their videos also.
Years back I planted 2 grapes for my dad. Luckily they were on different sides of the house. The one by the driveway was always covered by the wild turkeys & we never got to taste a one. 🦃
This year I planted beets for the 1st time, some of them did okay so I put up some pickled beets for winter and look forward to tasting them. My beans have that fuzzy yellow bug on them this year & we have been hotter than usual too.
Thank you! Hope you get some cooler weather 😊
Thanks Tipper and Matt for another great video, Prayers for our country! Have a great week!!
Tipper and Matt,
Love 💕 your channel.Watching you work in the garden. our garden. Our garden days are over. I’m 84 and my husband is 86.
So glad you enjoy our videos! Thank you 😊
If you have a bounty of grapes this year, knowing how much Matt likes his grape popsicles, you need to make a grape pie. I’d never had one until several years ago and oh my! It’s one of my favorite now. I’ll even process the grapes to the point that I can freeze them to make pies in winter. You do need a food mill or something to strain the seeds from the cooked pulp but it’s worth the trouble. Just look up Concord grape pie on line and you should find the recipe.
I went to school in Iowa and actually learned what fresh corn means. When your corn makes, get your water to boiling, go to the corn patch, pick ‘em, shuck ‘em as you walk back up the hill. Toss ‘em in for 3 minutes.
I seen 3 deers 🦌 yesterday a doe and 2 baby's have a blessed Sunday everyone 😊 🙏
I have one Cherokee purple, one big burpee (I think that’s the name) and they were my first plants. Both have tomatoes but the Cherokee purple has the most. The rest of my plants are beefsteak tomatoes (that’s what my seed pack said) and they all have small tomatoes on them. I unintentionally transplanted them at different times (waiting on my grow bags to arrive) so they are coming in at different stages. I think it’s going to work out good for us though, fingers crossed!! My Cherokee purple are starting to show a little change in color. I’m so excited!!
I am like Matt . I like the home canning and knowing you grew your own . I do not like wasting anything..
As always, I enjoyed watching while you show us your beautiful gardens & chat about good times ❤
I’m really on board with Matt putting in an irrigation system from the creek. It’s super dry where I am. One small rain in six weeks. Pray for rain.
I hope you get rain!
I’ve harvested three Cherokee Purple tomatoes so far! I only planted them because Matt made them look so good. I love them! My part of southeastern Kentucky can grow them, prolifically! Thanks for the suggestion…😊
Yay 😊
Thank U Tipper and Matt. I Love watching U Both Harvest, tell Great Stories of Appalachia and Work Side by Side. Keep is Pushing!
Have a great dinner and a great evening good night
Thank you, Tipper and Matt for another awesome video. God bless ya'll ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Megan and Andy over at True Grit ,, Good People!!
Hey guy's, I'm praying for y'all to get some rain. Just imagine how everything will take off. Y'all will be working overtime harvesting.
Thank you!!
Your in my space woman 😮 first time I laughed today 😂
😊
I’m glad that you’re getting some good food from your garden, and I like Matt’s t-shirt!
My mama felt that way about sweet potatoes… she grew up in a large farming family with nothing extra to go around and sweet potatoes were served every day and sometimes multiple times a day, she said they would peel down the peeling down the sides and pretend they had an ice cream cone 😢😢. I love sweet potatoes but I think about her and her feelings towards them every time. ❤
I got a lot done in my garden last evening. I have never grown butternut squash until this year and my gracious those things take up 10 feet or more of room. I have other things that I’ve succession planted and now those are starting to run so I had to go down the hill and get some more cages for them to grow up. Next year I’m definitely going to be doing the cattle panels bent over like an arbor for my vegetables to grow on. Love this time of year❤ your garden is always so pretty.
😊 They do take up a lot of room. Your garden sounds great! Thank you 😊
Boy yall look tired today it must have been a busy week I hope the rain comes I’ll be keeping that and you all in my prayers God bless!
I totally agree nature will definitely take back what belongs to the earth!
I have done of canning using a pressure canning. Enjoyed every minute of it. I am now 82 and haven’t canned for a few years but definitely enjoyed all of the bounty that we preserved over the years. We also made sauerkraut that turned out very good.
❤❤❤❤#2....Matt says what am i happy about? Lol..❤❤❤❤
😊 Thank you!
That was really funny.😅
@@M2ElviSMuSic😅
I look forward to your videos. We got a small shower here in our garden this afternoon. We had tomato sandwiches for lunch today. They were awesome, and i thought about Matt while eating. Our corn has really been good. we are eating it out of the freezer now.
We had a little rain shower this morning which is kind of unusual for us here in California. I looked out the window and the sun was shining too. I could hear my mom saying "the devil's beating his wife"😊
😊
We have a saying here in Ky. If it rains and if the sun comes out at the same time that it will rain the next day to.
I have heard that before 😂
@@maryharris2124my mom used to say that, here in central NC.🙏❤️🙂
Having my morning coffee with you two. ❤
I still can and hot water bath. Not as much as I used to. cause I'm getting old. It's so nice to have those jars lined up on the shelf in the pantry.
I love putting up from the garden and some of my fondest memories are staying up all night with my grandparents during canning season❤️ I still use two of her big pressure cookers ❤️
I love rutabaga's and turnips, especially with pepper sauce!.
What am I happy about? LOL! That’s what I want to know. That was great.
😊
I enjoyed this one and love garden surprises
Wish I could remember how my maternal grandmother made hominy. I cannot call that memory to my mind. But I do remember eating it. It was delicious. How funny you've brought forth so many memories from my childhood Tipper
I love you for that.
😊
Nice turnip surprise. Thanks for sharing
Hopefully, the rain comes back to your area and plants get a second wind! Keeping fingers crossed here, too, and for all gardeners! Thank you for posting a video today, Tipper.❤️
Just found ur channel 2 days ago and im so happy I did! My bf and I just love it so much! We have two sons, 3 yr old and 11 month old and they’ve watched mama make granny’s holy smoke cake and chess cake. My first time making it and having it, it was super good!
Welcome and thank you!
Thanks Tipper! Great Vlog as always. You and Matt have me eating an Outshine popsicle every night! I’m loving them as a cool treat ! Yum
My garlic did well this year. I’ve got some really large heads and cloves. I’m saving them to plant this fall. I’ve started processing some of the smaller cloves by roasting them and then freezing the cloves. It is great to add to soups, stews, stir fries and such. I have a freeze drier and freeze dry it make minced and powdered garlic. I’ve also fermented garlic in honey. Some of it I just store in a cold dark spot for fresh use. I’ll be busy with onions this week. My MIL would make onion rings and freeze them for a treat. I’m going to give it a try. My son wants some hot pepper and onion relish. I’ve done carmalized onions and French onion soup. So many choices of what can be canned.
Our corn didn’t do well at all. The pigs and chickens are getting the skinny four inch cobs. We planted another crop this week. It should be ready mid September.
