Very pretty glider chair and thank you for the garden tour and popsicle time.
It's so nice to run across your videos (which I've recently discovered), see your lovely garden, hear your tips, & share nice "visits" with you and your family. May the Lord continue to bless you all in every way!
Love your home your gardens and yard so beautiful surrounded by woods
I love your new glider! Good job Matt!đ
Always enjoy spending time with good folks. đ God. Bless đ
Yes! Love it! I've carried some kind of knife all my life, sometimes 2, sometimes more. Thanks for sharing this gardening video with us!
I love the sound of your chickens. So sweet. Reminds me of my Granny's yard and aunts who were blessed to have farms and places you could have them.â€ïž
Tipper and Matt, you are the sweetest couple. I love your glider and of course your beautiful yard and gardens. Life is good.
Years ago weâre we on about 5 acres of Colorado prairie with ideas of grandeur. We went to my mamas house and dug out about 25 small aspens to line the driveway. After hours and hours of digging up and then replanting it was dark and we were exhausted. So we decided to wrap chicken wire around them in the morning. However when we got up not a single one was there. The deer had munched them down to nothing. They must have though weâd planted them as a special treat. We quickly discovered why no one had gardens or trees. Since moving we havenât had to battle the deer so much. It was just heart breaking to have these great plans ruined. Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers!! â€
Everything is looking good especially the long row of brown slate like rocks!!
That is a beautiful rocking chair that is like I want !!! You got a wonderful chair with someone to rock with!!!
Everything is looking Pretty around their Tipper & Matt!! Can even imagine what it will All look like Full of the Rest of Planting...Matt did GREAT picking Your Mother's Day when He saw it!! LOVE A GLIDER OR SWING; SO RELAXING!! especially for Popsicle Time Prayers continue for Mrs. Cindy!! Loved Paps take on Snack cakes đ sounds like Him & My Daddy had to know each other GOD BLESS & Prayers for Everyone!!
It really does work to soak your okra seeds just 12 to 24 hours. I planted my first ones too early and it was such a cool spring they didnât come up but the second ones came up right away. I love your videos and praying for Miss Cindy. đą
I love your videos. Your family is such a blessingâ€â€â€
"If it's in my house it's mine". LOL. Got to love Matt.
Love love love the glider chair!! Excellent gift
The yellow flower you called sundrop is also called Evening primroseâ€
đ€©đ Y'all looks great in that pretty glider!!
I looked at the weather forecast for the week and saw that only Sunday was gona have sunshine. Poured out six jugs of white vinegar on the grass to bake and die in the sun đ Bought more vinegar and am waiting for another sunny day to pour out a flowerbed's shape.
Tipper, last year I bought the smallest/cheapest tomato cage they had at Walmart to put on my peppers. They were perfect size and supported them great into Fall without having to do the tying involved with stakes. Wow, they worked great and usable for many years. Maybe try next year. I think they were around $3 each. Also watched herb planting itâs going to look nice. Some of them might be a little close together because you wonât believe how big they will get.
Be A Blessing and Be Blessed đđ»đ«đ€Čđđ»
Your garden and yard looks absolutely lovely!!!
Thank you!
I absolutely love your Mothers day present Tipper!!
I just got your book!! I can't wait to look at it!! My Grandparents were from Paintsville, and Johnson Kentucky! Through DNA, I have found that my ancestors (paternal) were original settlers in Appalachia (from England, Ireland)--I grew up a bit with my Kentucky grandparents, so I love when you interview the older people that you know. I loved when you said in one of your videos that Okra was called Okry, and that potatoes were sometimes called "arsh" potatoes. (just a side note, my great grandpa would have definitely worked in the Van Lear coal mine, and by DNA, I did find out that I am related to Loretta Lynn/her family (my great great grandparents were literally married---a Butcher and a Webb, lol), and June Carter Cash (because of the Carters). lol
Wow!
So glad to see gliders are back! My grandma had one on her porch, my parents had one on their porch till wasnât usable anymore! I will have to look for one! Way to go Matt! That is one fantastic present!! Hope we can find one!
Beautiful
I live in Michigan and deer are a constant visitor. We have a fence around our garden to keep them out of there. We plant marigolds among our other flowers because deer don't like them.
Tipper, You and Matt remind me of growing up! Daddy n Mama and all us kids sitting on the Gliders. Somebody gave my Daddy one for fixing his lawnmower n tiller plow! He sanded or down n repainted it, oiled or up a lil and gave to Mama for Mother's Day! He painted if Green and White. She was tickled to death over it! Some days after working in the garden n sweeping the yards with Brush Brooms where the push mower had flung grass n weeds in the yard, Her n Daddy would sit in the yard and watch all the kids play! They'd drink a cup of coffee n talk! They drank coffee all day long. Also y'all remind me of me and my husband when our kids were little and the grandkids! After working in the garden, and all the chores were done, we'd sit with a glass of sweet tea n talk n watch the kids play! When my husband passed, or took me a long time to sit in the yard bc that was something as did together and or hurt to bad. After awhile, I missed or and found that I felt closer to him and the Lord. I live in a holler here in N Ga mtns and it's do quite n peaceful. I can't get around hardly and I'm kinda housebound! I got a porch swing and someday I'll sit out there. I miss gardening do bad cause I've done if my whole life. The deer has eat all my flowers near bout and it ain't much out there anymore. Y'all prepare for a hot summer this year n a stormy one! I'll keep y'all in my prayers and pra y your garden fairs well. I'm do happy I ran across your channel. I sure do enjoy or Hun. God Bless your Homestead n Family. Prayers for Miss Cindy n Granny! đđâ€â€
I am behind too this year. Going to try and get all planted tomorrow. We fight rabbits. Last year they ate my tomatoes and peppers to the ground.
There are many varities of radishes, and some can be bitter and that is true of other things in the same family of plants. One of the secrets is as early as possible to plant and harvest them, because heat effects the amount of bitterness also.
Love your glider swing! You did good Matt!
Love the glider! One it favorite colors. Love your talks. Prayers for you all
Nehi was the only belly washer on earth for me when I was a little boy. Orange was the first then grape came along and I was in my little piece of heaven. I'm 77 now , so little boy was a long time ago. Love to watch your videos. God bless all of you and tell Miss Cindy we all love and pray for her. Have faith! God is still in control.
Up here Rhode Island we call the pretty yellow flowers , 4 oâclocks. Your yard so beautiful. Will be able to plant by end of the month. Take care. Prayers for all.
Hey u two! Seeing u makes me feel so grateful that u do your videos sharing your life in Apalachia. Learning so much.
Tipper my friend in Waynesville sent to me Booklet created by members of Waynesville Garden Club one of things they mentioned was putting Epsom salt into hole, had heard u talking about doing that and Blackberry Winter also because of listening to u was a familiar saying. Do so enjoy ALL your videos Thanks for sharing allowing me many enjoyable hours of being a part of your lives. God Bless u all !
Love your family
My husband and I used to love the Little Debbie PB&Js but we canât find them anymore. Well, actually thatâs probably a good thing!đ Iâm still praying for Miss Cindy and for your family. I know she is loved and well cared for.
Matt putting on the go pro. Will be good for my grandson to see someone fishing from the kayak. My son and family live on a lake.
The pretty yellow flowers are I believe to be a type of buttercup. We had them from my grandma but didnât get to get a start to take to our new house back in 1997. I wish we could have. Being from my grandma,they were very special to me as we lost grandma 1 yr after we moved! They spread every year!
Oenothera fruticosa, the narrowleaf evening primrose or narrow-leaved sundrops. Is a species of flowering plants in the evening primrose family. It is a native to much of eastern North America.
It's all looking lovely! Y'all give me ideas when you're working in your garden. Pretty mother's day flowers. I never heard of a nehi. I thought of u when I had my coconut popsicle today, lol. Love the glider! Blessings.đđđž
My condolences to Matt's boss' family.
Your glider is beautiful. I lost my peaches last year because of a squirrel. It was the first time we had peaches on our new tree. I would go out every morning to check them. Did not know a squirrel would eat peaches. We had a cold snap so no peaches this year. I also have 2 apple trees that have not had apples yet. I will cover the trees if we get any fruit.
I'm with Matt about heat versus cold! Give me snow every day and I'm in heaven! Hate the summer! đ„”
I'm like Matt you keep all radishes it is one garden food I just never cared for.
You hit the nail on the head Tipper when you said you are both "SPRY" enough!
See you both later. My best always. Thinking of your mama Matt. And praying!
I agree with Matt, the peanut butter cakes are sooo good. Really enjoy your channel.
Those yellow flowers are Evening Primrose.
Iam with Matt. Give me the cold. The peppers look great. Lots of flowers on it already!
You are certainly living the good life!We all could learn from you.
We have a small orchard. And squirrels are hard on fruit if it's a dry year.
Grape ones are my favorite too!!!!
I love fishing â€
Your place just looks so nice itâs so homey
Talking about liking popcorn im eating it watching yal! Enjoyed it tipper !
It's fun to see how your garden is doing so well! I just planted some cherry tomatoes, basil and some pretty flowers. I also scattered some seeds to see what comes up. Mint is a nice one to have in a pot for tea and chewing on. Today I picked up some lemon balm and lemon verbena with a nice gift card that my MIL gave me for mothers day. (such a great gift for a first time gardener!)
Also, your cookbook finally came in the mail yesterday! I've been having fun looking through it. =)
And, what keeps bunnies away from flowers!? Right after watching this I went out front a caught a little cottontail nibbling away at something! :p
Thank you Gretchen! So glad you like the book đ Sounds like your garden is coming right along đ We've never had trouble with rabbits, hopefully someone who has will chime in with some tips!
Iâm with Matt..black coffee is LIFE!đ
If you put down a layer of cardboard and then mulch on top with wood chips that should keep the greenhouse weeds controlled. Your garden is looking lovely!
Thank you đ
I was going to suggest cardboard too. So easy, but really works well. Have a great night.
Tipper when do you plant your cucumbers and watermellons?
@@music7064 We planted them today đ Usually we would have already planted them-typically the first week in May đ
Cardboard(unpainted) works really well. Also we use wheat straw.
Both will break down and help the soil.
If you know an appliance store you can usually get large pieces for free.
Very pretty glider.
A woman I use to houseclean for had the nicest small garden and between each row she had used old carpet cut to the width of the row and roll them down the row and add more if it wasnât long enough. She had used a cream color which would eventually be a dirty pathway in time but it sure kept the weeds to a bare minimum.
In southern Ontario, Canada your yellow flowered plant is called evening primrose.
First time I put in garden, animals ate everything. Next time I put up fence n even the rabbit kind. Rabbits burrowed under fence n ate it n the deer stepped over fence n ate my tomatoes.
Tipper, take some of your best recipes and convert them so that you can make them in your insta-pot. I live alone and always make one or two pots of food and always have something put up, especially in the summer. You could be working outside and your insta-pot could be fixing dinner. Make enough for Granny and Miss Cindy to take the next day. I make my soups and chili and overnight. I was a nurse and it was nice to come home to a meal.
Since Matt does not want to bend over to pick the beans - maybe you guys could plant those lower beans in your newly created hillside garden beds. Just plant the beans on the outside edge of the planter so you could be standing down the hill facing up towards the planter to pick your beans ; )
Just give yourself a bit of a path to stand on a bit below down the hill.
nice
Your property and gardens are so pretty. Matt did good with the glider for Mother's Day. The vintage look is perfect.
I really enjoy watching you and Matt talk at end of your videos
On the Peanut Beans most people pull them up, put them in a wheel barrow pile them up, sit in the shade pull them all off. Replant.
Love the glider. I like my coffee black and hot, also!
Three busy little squirrels last year ate every peach and pear on several trees. We got zero!!
i got your cookbook so happy its alovely book god bless you and your family praying for miss cindy love lydia from montreal canada
I have a suggestion for tomato stakes. I buy 1/2â electrical conduit that comes in 10â lengths from Home Depot. It is easily cut with tubing cutters if desired. They donât rust and can be saved from year to year. The cost is minimal and cheaper than most other alternatives. By the way, we love your channel.
I love winter too Mat, and enjoy your stuff. I have shared a lot of things I have learned from your show with my children. Your cookbook is in my mailbox at home so when I get home from my daughter's I am going to open that book up and probably make the potato fries that I watched to make yesterday!
Thank you! Hope you like the cookbook!
Garden Looks amazing 1:26
I love your gliderđ„°
I bought postum a while back after hearing you talking about it. Itâs great! I was shocked at how expensive it is online and I canât find it in stores. Love that glider.
I just found your popsicles in2 of my local stores, Kroger and Walmart, i found grape mango coconut andâŠwatermelon! I got grape and watermelon, both yummy!
Wonderful!
Nice glider, the two of you are so cute together.
Oh those peanut butter Debbieâs so good!!
I love Knives. A case knife is my favorite. I accidently threw mine away in potato peelings lol didn't realize it until the trash was picked up. Too late
yay
đ
Just want to let you know you'll be in my home town next weekend Knoxville Tennessee I live in Ohio now always enjoy your videos have a wonderful week
I just found your show. I love it and your family already đđđ
Thank you and welcome!
I've carried a pocket knife sinced I was four years old, birthday present from Daddy.
Don't reckon I'd know what to do without one.
I'd always carry an extra knife in my toolbox for knuckleheads that didn't carry their own, weren't no way I's gonna give 'em the chance to mess up the blades on mine.
I've got a four blade tree brand right now that I reckon near a hundred folks has tried to talk me out of it but it didn't work, it was some kinda special edition knives with something etched on the blade, but I've used it more than thirty-two years now and that's been long wore off.
Got it just after my house burnt, actually it was the first thing I replaced, somebody asked me what I needed and that was the first thing to come out my mouth, then they took me to a flea market and that's where I got it.
It's been raining fairly regular here in southern middle Tennessee, been a might airish come nightfall, been that way more than a week.
Just so's y'all know, it ain't got nothing to do with the fawning, them deer is just waiting on that garden to get good and lush, then they'll be back.
If ever they do find a garden, they ain't bound to forget where they run across it.
Just got done eating me a couple of tomato sandwiches.
They weren't no garden fresh maters, but they sure got me thinking on garden fresh everything.
Sure would like to try me one of them pineapple popsicles.
Tipper I have squirrels that jump off the garage roof into the GARDEN with a DEER FENCE around it !!! Dang Squirrel can climb the deer fence I yell and scream at them telling them to go over to the neighbors and eat there !!!
I don't like radishes either, Matt. So yeah, my wife gets to eat all those. Squirrels love our apples and pears. One year, I saw an apple on a branch of a pine tree. I call that my pineapple tree. Okra. Soak seeds until they start to sprout, plant, and they'll come right on up... if the slugs don't get them first. I'm goin' trout fishing this coming weekend. Love y'alls channel!
â€
Freezer a Little Debbie Peanut Butter Bar (wafers) for a cold treat in the summerâŠso good!
I hate radishes too, but if you quarter them up and fry them in the cast iron like you would potatoes, they are delicious. I usually fry them til they are getting brown and then pop them in the oven. See if you can get Matt to eat them that way.
They are delicious fried like potatoes!
I'm a Ding Dong girl myself but I do love the Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies. But I bought some homemade from an Amish store and they were so much more delicious!
Gonna have to check out Little Debbieâs peanut butter yâall mentioned. đ
I have cystitis. Its been many years was horrible at first.. I can drink coffee but not tea. Or juices.. Love you all. I am 100% country from Tennessee. Coffee with cream. I would just have to suffer because I can't live without me coffee..lol.. I am old enough to be yalls mama.. praying for yours.hugs .
If you have a cane break all a river, cane poles. Make good bean poles
When you all were talking about the squirrels eating all your apples brought to mind of our pesky squirrels eating all our golden delicious apples every year!! We have a terrible time keeping them away! We live in a tiny community and we have tried everything, even scaring them away with a bebe gun to setting up a trap and hauling them out to a wooded area in the country close by. This year we googled it and some have said that marigolds and geraniums are great deterents so this we we'll be surrounding our trees with these and see how well that works . Supposedly, it's the smell that wards them away. So we'll see!đ€đ€đżđż
In my opinion, putting gravel down in the greenhouse would be worse than the weed barrier. It doesn't do a very good job of keeping the weeds from coming up and when it starts looking messy, well, it's rock; it never goes away. Plus you'll track gravel all around your yard. I made that mistake. Twice. Yeah, I can be a slow learner. đ I'd go for wood chips or sawdust mulch, which will eventually break down.
I really like the PVC garden tie tape for tying up plants because it's a little bit stretchy, so you can tie it tight and it won't constrict the plant as it grows. It holds up to sunshine very well and seems to last for years. It's easier to cut it with scissors, but you CAN break it with a sharp yank. One roll goes a long way and it's cheap, about $1.50 or so per 150 foot roll.
I love your new glider. I'd like one just like it.
I love the peanut butter cream pies!
We use 3 layers newspaper, 4" pinestraw.
Oh yes I forget to you could plant honeysuckles they love to climb
In Sedona, Arizona javalina eat flowers and gardens. People fence them off
Matt is such a manly man! Not many of them comin' up these days. Manly men are a dying breed but so under appreciated. I have one. Hes a treasure. Manly men live to please & protect the women in thier lives. Who could ask for more? â€â€â€
I looked up the yellow sundrops in my "Wildflowers of Tennessee" book it is called Sundrops Latin name Oenothera fruticosa (not that you need to know that đ) but it is a member of the Evening Primrose family which I thought was kind of interesting đ.
You and Matt have inspired me to have a garden this year. We have not had a garden in about 11 years. I am so excited! We are starting small this year, with only zucchini, okra, half runner beans, and one tomato plant my son gave me for Mother's Day. Thank you!
That is wonderful! I hope it all does well đ
Donât know you but it makes my heart happy that youâre getting back into gardening again. It is so beneficial to our well being. Plus, filling our stomachs and pantries. Happy gardening.đđ©âđŸâïž
Tipper has got me also starting a garden for the first time. Sheâs a good one, I just hope mine looks half as good as hers lol. Glad youâve gotten back into it.
