Tipper, my wife and I will watch as soon as we get home this evening from church. We enjoy all your videos. But we especially enjoy the Sunday evening ones where both you and Matt are in them.
Matt , it was in the 60s last night. Tonight lower. The heat’ll be back end of week. I wanted to yell hallelujah walking the dog at 2am. Fallish in Boston by the Sea. God bless y’all for doing that hard work. ❤❤
Ever since the Q and A with the girls where someone asked about Matt being so standoffish and them laughing about how clever and funny he really is, I can see it in yalls videos and I enjoy it so much. Yall are really cute together and your content is so wholesome and so welcome.
Sooooooooooo relaxing listening to the two of you. I love how you banter back and forth with a little silliness and lots of love. Sending loving and peace-filled thoughts to everyone.
I loved listening to your stories especially the one about the window screens. Matt used his screen to go to the creek to pan for gold. Katy took her screen out so that she could throw stuff out and then shoot. When Matt said that she must take after your side of the family and you responded, I don't remember sifting for gold with any screens - I laughed out loud. You're a beautiful couple.
I'm so envious of your peaches. Grew up next to a peach orchard and the gentleman farmer would leave a small basket of peaches early in the morning during the season for my breakfast. He also taught me to drive on his Farm All tractor and allowed me to roam free on his wooded acreage. He was very kind to a child that wasn't his responsibility. Now Mr. Tenny is part of my best memories.
You all are so wonderful. You make me laugh and I've been so blessed to be able to can quite a bit this year. It's not been two years since my husband passed and watching you all really keeps me from being lonely. You all have really inspired me to get up and Get things done like I should.Thank you for being there.
You two are really cool down to earth folks & humourous to boot! Thank you for your love you share together it's very heartwarming. Enjoy the sandwich & melon! Granny is in my prayers (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
It's been nice here in Ca. the last few days, but it's suppose to heat back up next week. Time changes things, I wish you and Matt still had the sounds of your childhood, but I'm glad you still have the sounds of summer. You all have a blessed week. Hope Granny's test goes well. ❤🙏
I never had the gold panning adventure but I used my Granny's window screen to sift dirt for my mud pies. No lumps. Needles to say , I had my outdoor kitchen shut down. Really enjoying your summertime videos.
You're exactly right, it is the hottest in my 66 years that I have ever experienced here in middle TN. We have had a couple of rain showers but that didn't help much. Your garden is looking so good! And the bounty of beans is wonderful. Prayers for Granny. Thanks for sharing Tipper!
Sending some cooling thoughts and prayers your way, Tipper and Matt. It's winter in Australia and we had a very cold morning here today. It warmed up around morning tea but it's cooling off again now at 2pm as I'm writing this. Thanks for another great video. Steph ❤
You both make me so happy. The heat wave just broke up here in Massachusetts. It's deliciously cool. Matt has a great sense of humor and I enjoy it. Tipper, I know you know that I always enjoy your stuff. Those beans sure do look like a night's supper. Hugs and lots of love.
That’s great you got so many beans. We’ve always raised Rattlesnake pole beans, even my grandparents. We love them. I don’t know why they’re called that, either. That peach cake sounds great! My favorite ice cream is peach. My Mama said they used to rehydrate dried apricots, lay them over the bottom of a pie crust, then pour egg custard pie filling over that and bake it. I think that would be good with peaches, too.
I'm going to be up in your area in September one Thursday or Friday. I'm 72 and live in the country near Clarkesville and Helen. I'm enjoying watching your channel as well as your daughters. Bless you. I'm proud to be an Appalachian 🎉
Hi! I just harvested a bunch of carrots I had planted in a grow bag on my back deck! I have a ton of yellow cherry tomatoes and I've spotted a Cherokee purple growing, I've had about half dozen of Cucumbers so far, potatoes will be ready to harvest in a week or so, strawberries are still producing, 2 little sugar baby water melons are on the vine...not bad for planting in bags on a deck 😊 we were under heat advisories 28th and 29th 97 degrees on thermometer however with humidity feel of 106-110😢 back in the 80s now. Still praying for granny❤
We grew up without AC and are soft now. My sister now admits that she sneaked down to the basement to sleep. I asked her why didn't she take me with her. Anyways, thank you for inviting us to your backyard chat!
I grew up in KS. I think it was around 1965 - 67 that we got a window AC unit. We had just a window fan before then. Without AC, I doubt towns like Houston and Phoenix would be as large as they are today.
we live in a hot climate, but in the mountains where it's usually cool at night. usually - but not this summer! anyway, we don't have a/c by choice, because I don't want to get so used to it that I can't manage without! (of course, where my kids live in the lower more humid areas you sure do need it).
The heat in the old days didn’t seem as bad. We sat outside until dark and tried to sleep. I don’t think the feather beds allowed for much air. They were great in the winter! I’m in the process of making shuck beans from greasy beans for the first time. Usually use half runners! God bless you folks from Kentucky.
I've made mini-cobblers in 4-oz jelly jars using the One-Cup Cobbler recipe. Fill the little jar with peach slices or berries, add 3 tbsp of batter and bake at 350° 'til lightly brown. Perfect little desserts
We enjoy watching you and Matt talking about your day. It is very interesting and enjoy seeing the harvest you picked for the day and know the hard work you did to get a nice harvest. It is very hot here in Kansas And hope to see cooler weather and a little rain. Take care and bless your family. You are a blessed family. How wonderful.!
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Gabriel Wood from San Francisco, California where are you from if I may ask?
I love your videos when your sitting out in the shade together and just chit chatting! Your videos remind me so much of my childhood memories and visiting my grandparents back East, sometimes I get teared up. I love the small town, simple country lifestyle! Thank you for sharing a beautiful slice of your life! ❤
Matt mentioned quail. When I was a kid grandpa's farm was quail central. But, I haven't seen any in years. But a couple of days ago we were sitting on the porch and I heard one call. A few minutes later he landed on our walk. He sat there until my dog saw him and chased him off. I don't know if someone near here is raising them or not. But I hope more come around.
My dad put in an attic fan in our house also when I was a teenager. I can relate to the sound of it and the suction of it. We opened a window at one end of the house, and at the other end of the house that would draw from both ends. I don’t know that it ever helped, lol. He finally had central heat and air put in a few years after👏🏻👏🏻😃
Watching you chat at us in the first minute or so, and it just should be said...Tipper, you are so pretty! Hope you get some respite from this heat, it's sweltering and a tad humid here in the suburbs of Los Angeles as well. Xoxo
You two are so sweet together. Matt always makes me laugh. Thank you for sharing these moments with us. I have learned a lot from both of you over the years.Praying for Granny and hoping she feels better soon. Have a good evening.😊
I’m new to your channel and I could just gush about your family and your values! This world would be a better place if this is how we were all living. Matt, we must be twins separated at birth because I absolutely abhor hot weather - it’s the worst! The. Worst. When it gets hot my husband tells me it’s time to put my cranky pants on😂♥️🇨🇦
Oh the memories of being young and fight over who was gonna sleep in front of the window fan! Lol😂❤ Had my first Outshine coconut popsicle! Oh my word, how did i live without these!!❤️😋
I just love to watch y'all's videos so much. You always make my day. Tipper, I tried my first Cherokee purple, and I loved it! I ate it on a "baboney" sandwich lol. So good! ❤
The case knife bean can be eat like the one you showed . Or if you like the bean more, you can let them get full and shell them . I have canned 95 quarts of them . Mine is finished for this year. Love your garden . God bless your family and prayers for your mother.
Hello matt and Tipper, looks like the Lord blessed y'all with a good harvest. Even though some vegetables dont do good as others, at times. My experience with gardening its not always 100% productive. I think the rattlesnake bean are my favorite they do seem to be bug resistant, yeah im done with marigolds too. They didn't deter bugs on my vegetables either. I just harvested all my summer crop a few weeks ago. Just planted my fall garden.planted more rattlesnakes beans, ms. plnkeye peas. And squash zucchini. I remember growing up without an air conditioner too, slept with the window open. Thank God for the A/C but I think it has made us soft. Always enjoy watching.Stay cool, and Happy gardening God bless.😅
Thanks for the Sunday afternoon video. I look forward to y’all’s musings. Grief and worry can and will exhaust you. Don’t forget to take care of yourselves. 🥰
Outhere in the foothills of Appalachia my favorite time of the year is fall. It cools off and the colors start to explode before the country goes to bed for the winter. I'd never had a favorite season until I moved here. It's just gorgeous. We have two huge flowering Bartlett pear trees that are the last to lose their leaves and they are the most brilliant red, they scream color!!
Those peppers were so red and vibrant. And the squash seemed abundant. Peach cobbler is my second favorite cobbler. My very favorite is blackberry cobbler. Havent had a garden since 2015. Good to hear you're having a good crop. Greetings from North Carolina.
Matt’s not the only one longing for Fall. It was brutal the last two days over here in Maryville. I’ve still got a few tomatoes coming in here and there. It’s been a terrible year for peppers for me. Everything has done terrible except my Serrano plants.
I feel you're pain with saying anything... Your more south than I am in New England and my tomatoes do not want to become ripe with this heat and humidity 😫 I love the sunflowers! Those are huge!!! And marigolds especially work for tomatoes but you stagger a few in between rows, one at a time not bunched together.
Tipper is mild. Watching her reminds me to slow down and enjoy life. She recognizes and acknowledges so many of the precious things we miss in the hustle of a busy life. Made it to the end of the video and I loved the "stick with what you know" comment. My late husband would have said the same thing. Made me laugh. Thanks for sharing that.
I grew up in Alabama and didn’t have air conditioning until I was 12 years old. We got a window unit and that first summer me, my sister and brother slept on pallets on the floor. We thought it was amazing. Before that it was screened windows and doors and big metal Electrolux fans at the foot of the bed. Our car had no A/C and we drove with the windows down, hanging our heads out the windows like dogs! Good memories when we were all a little tougher and adaptive than folks are now. Prayers for your sweet mama.
i loved watching y’all pick peaches. I am originally from SW Georgia and I have so many memories of picking huge juicy peaches. Homemade peach ice cream is a favorite! As is blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream💕
oh my...you two really do look like it's HOT...but remember, this too shall pass & will become a warm memory when the cold winds of winter blow. Praying for Granny as she undergoes her tests tomorrow/this week and for the medical team who will be doing them & reading results. ❤🙏🙏

Such a beautiful, plentiful harvest. I plant cosmos every year. I have the magenta, light pink and white. Do you ever plant snapdragons? They were my dad's favorite. My sister and I made pepper jelly. It's so good on a bagel with cream cheese.
We used to have plenty of bobwhite, grouse and quail in my area of WV. Somewhere between boyhood and manhood they just disappeared. We would occasionally see a pheasant but they are gone now too. I love watching your videos. Thank you for efforts.
We don’t get any relief from the heat until November. I’ve lived in Georgia all of my life and we use to have a nice Fall, but now we go from Summer to Winter.
It’s hot here too we’ve had a heat advisory everyday and no rain. It’s hard to believe that the kids here will start school this week. Time just goes by so quickly. Your beans look great. Seems like they grew overnight. 😊
Y’all are really an amazing couple with 2 amazing young ladies who have good guys this is the 1st time I’ve ever commented we enjoy seeing y’all several times a week and the girls channel y’all is in our prayers every day! We are in west central Arkansas in Scott County Ouachita mountains. Have a wonderful summer what’s left of it we’re ready for fall ! God bless 🇺🇸
I made peach jalapeño jam for the first time this year and it’s soooo good! The sweet peach and the pepper flavor are really good together, I’ve only had it on toast so far but I’m definitely going to try it on cornbread 😊
I believe the the most frightened I ever was as a young girl was walking though our old church that had those exhaust fans in the ceiling and someone shut them off and the lights. Praying for Granny 🙏
It is hot. We just got back from the beach and I miss that ocean breeze already. Your harvest is looking good. The peach video was so nice and I was able to take some with us on vacation. I ate one for breakfast bout every morning. I wish summer never had to end just because of all the wonderful garden foods. The heat is hard to stand though. Stay cool and take care. As always- thank you for celebrating Appalachia. 🍑 🍅 🌽 🫑
Thanks for sharing. We are looking to plant peach trees this year. Peach cobbler sounds so good. I'm praying for Granny. I pray she gets good results from her tests. ❤
Hey y’all, listening to you talk about the grouse & the quail made me think of when I was young in Florida, we had so many quail. Then they started to disappear. The University of Florida did a study & found that when the fire ants started invading Florida the quail began to disappear. They nest on the ground & the ants would attack the babies & it would kill them. I remember they use to fly planes over our neighborhood & drop these pellets that was supposed to kill fire ants. Well all it did was make them more resistant. They are such a nuisance. I’ve never seen fire ants up here, but wonder if maybe something like that caused the quail to slowly disappear. I miss the sound of a Bob white. 😊❤😊🙏 oh prayers for Granny. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You & Matt are too cute! I feel like I'm sitting rt there in your shaded but hot yard enjoying a casual visit, maybe w/ a coconut popsickle. Here in Austin, TX, we've some serious heat going on too. 100° w/ nearly 40% humidity at 6:40pm Central time. Didn't dare step outside today. I enjoy your videos and happy to see your garden coming along so well! Have a wonderful wk and show us what you'll be doing w/ the peaches. ☀️🌱🍑🫛🥒🫑🌶🍅🍆🌽
@@CelebratingAppalachia you are absolutely welcome, I'm from New Zealand so it's great to see another side to the Appalachian mountains rather than the scary stories I see
I did just have the thought that you're very near to the only part of the US that has naturally occurring venus fly traps. I suspect if you planted some you would have to tend to yours a bit more than nature might, but they would cut down on _some_ amount of insects if you laid them out strategically. They're also just fascinating plants.
We didn't have ac when I was growing up either, but the heat didn't seam so bad then. Looking at your green beans makes me want a pot of beans with some new potatoes cooked in them. our weather has been strange this year also. June was really wet and cool. Sending prayers for Granny. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us.
Love your and Matt’s “Popsicle” videos!! Wow big old harvest of beans, among other veggies!! Love those Cherokee Purple tomatoes! Doing good!! I hate hot weather and love/ winter and snow!! God bless and much love to all! 💕🤗🙏🏻
Love watching your videos before I go to bed, so relaxing and I learn new things. Loved the part with the bandana! Matt reminds me of my Daddy and you remind me of my Mama so it’s even more special spending time with y’all. My Mama agrees 😁
As Matt shares more things he destroyed in childhood I’m beginning to wonder if maybe that’s why his parents didn’t have more kids 🤔 😂😂 I’m still laughing about the mischievous adventures he got into 😂😂. Praying for Granny 🙏❤️🙏
Love seeing your beautiful garden. My mom used to call my dad's garden his "truck patch"! He liked to plant enough for the deer and rabbits too he said! My husband and I click our Popsicles together too now!😂 except the ones here are skinny compared to yours!
I am in agreement with Matt on the pepper jelly. I got the recipe from your blog several,years ago. I am always too impatient to wait until the peppers ripen into different colors, so only make green pepper jelly. I got foundered on jelly growing up, but the pepper jelly has such a unique flavor. Great with cream cheese and crackers. I must try those rattlesnake beans. Your enthusiasm is catching.
I remember those days without air conditioning! My parents didn't get air conditioning until after I moved away from home. They had one of those big attic fans, too and to me it sounded like an airplane taking off! I don't know how we stood it now after I've had air conditioning for so long. I guess we were just used to it. I love Matt's stories about his childhood, they're hilarious! I bet they weren't funny to his Momma and Daddy at the time! Praying for Granny. 😆
I grew up in south Florida with no air conditioning and I know I was young but I swear it was bearable. It no longer is!,115 with the heat index in North Florida is pure torture. I cannot bear it a second. I am with you.hurry fall!
I just love watching your videos when you're either picking from your garden and or questions. You and Matt just seem so calm and relaxed and blend together so well. I love your energies!❤❤
Matt, I saw something unusual this past week. I Was looking out my dining room window and a Quail was walking through my yard! I knew they were fairly close because their call was so loud but I never dreamed they were right by my house! Praying for Granny! ❤
My mom grew up in a big family and they had an attic fan that was a kind they put in a window. Huge metal looking thing. It would cool off every room in the house except for the room the fan was in. They put it in my moms room and she would bring that up to her siblings for the rest of her life 😁.
I live in Oklahoma and grew up here. I am 58, but have never lived without A/C. It’s so hot here, I can’t imagine not having it. I’m definitely soft. I have never even lived without a dishwasher. I watch The Millennial Gardener. He is based in South Carolina and is also dealing with the heat wave. The other day he said “Its hotter than a billy goat with a blow torch “. That struck me as so funny. My Mom used to say “hotter than Hades”. It looks like the heat is going to be with us a while.
I love homegrown tomatoes so much like Matt. I like the bigger tomatoes that cover a slice of bread. Do you ever eat fresh tomatoes on a hot biscuit? Soo good.
God Bless your family❤ My dad was from Harlan ky and we went there every summer. You guys remind me of those good times. Tipper has the most soothing voice❤

You are so kind thank you 😊
ANY DAY!
They are adorable 🥰
I agree....regular tv is nothing but reruns of reality tv - which is mostly stupid.
Absolutely!!❤

I don't like the hot weather either 😒 l m like Matt.

Great video y’all!
😀 thank you Justin
Hello matt and Tipper, looks like the Lord blessed y'all with a good harvest. Even though some vegetables dont do good as others, at times. My experience with gardening its not always 100% productive. I think the rattlesnake bean are my favorite they do seem to be bug resistant, yeah im done with marigolds too. They didn't deter bugs on my vegetables either. I just harvested all my summer crop a few weeks ago. Just planted my fall garden.planted more rattlesnakes beans, ms. plnkeye peas. And squash zucchini. I remember growing up without an air conditioner too, slept with the window open. Thank God for the A/C but I think it has made us soft. Always enjoy watching.Stay cool, and Happy gardening God bless.😅
Thanks for the Sunday afternoon video. I look forward to y’all’s musings. Grief and worry can and will exhaust you. Don’t forget to take care of yourselves. 🥰
Hopefully it gets a little cooler for you folks. Prayers and blessings to Granny.🙏
Outhere in the foothills of Appalachia my favorite time of the year is fall. It cools off and the colors start to explode before the country goes to bed for the winter. I'd never had a favorite season until I moved here. It's just gorgeous. We have two huge flowering Bartlett pear trees that are the last to lose their leaves and they are the most brilliant red, they scream color!!
You guys are so much fun! Praying for Granny. Grammy from Texas
Those peppers were so red and vibrant. And the squash seemed abundant. Peach cobbler is my second favorite cobbler. My very favorite is blackberry cobbler. Havent had a garden since 2015. Good to hear you're having a good crop. Greetings from North Carolina.
Thank you for visiting with us!!
Matt’s not the only one longing for Fall. It was brutal the last two days over here in Maryville. I’ve still got a few tomatoes coming in here and there. It’s been a terrible year for peppers for me. Everything has done terrible except my Serrano plants.
I feel you're pain with saying anything... Your more south than I am in New England and my tomatoes do not want to become ripe with this heat and humidity 😫
I love the sunflowers! Those are huge!!! And marigolds especially work for tomatoes but you stagger a few in between rows, one at a time not bunched together.
Tipper is mild. Watching her reminds me to slow down and enjoy life. She recognizes and acknowledges so many of the precious things we miss in the hustle of a busy life. Made it to the end of the video and I loved the "stick with what you know" comment. My late husband would have said the same thing. Made me laugh. Thanks for sharing that.
I hope your Mama (Granny) is doing better, I love watching y'all and it is hotter than blue blazes here in Alabama.
Here in Texas its 103 feels like 118. Cant wait until it gets in the 80s or low 90s 😅 who would of thunk hoping for low 90s temp.
I grew up in Alabama and didn’t have air conditioning until I was 12 years old. We got a window unit and that first summer me, my sister and brother slept on pallets on the floor. We thought it was amazing.
Before that it was screened windows and doors and big metal Electrolux fans at the foot of the bed. Our car had no A/C and we drove with the windows down, hanging our heads out the windows like dogs! Good memories when we were all a little tougher and adaptive than folks are now. Prayers for your sweet mama.
i loved watching y’all pick peaches. I am originally from SW Georgia and I have so many memories of picking huge juicy peaches. Homemade peach ice cream is a favorite! As is blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream💕
oh my...you two really do look like it's HOT...but remember, this too shall pass & will become a warm memory when the cold winds of winter blow. Praying for Granny as she undergoes her tests tomorrow/this week and for the medical team who will be doing them & reading results. ❤🙏🙏
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Gabriel Wood from San Francisco, California where are you from if I may ask?
Such a beautiful, plentiful harvest. I plant cosmos every year. I have the magenta, light pink and white. Do you ever plant snapdragons? They were my dad's favorite. My sister and I made pepper jelly. It's so good on a bagel with cream cheese.
It’s been a long time since I planted them 😀
We used to have plenty of bobwhite, grouse and quail in my area of WV. Somewhere between boyhood and manhood they just disappeared. We would occasionally see a pheasant but they are gone now too. I love watching your videos. Thank you for efforts.
We don’t get any relief from the heat until November. I’ve lived in Georgia all of my life and we use to have a nice Fall, but now we go from Summer to Winter.
Matt's story about screen panning was hilarious! I made my husband come into the room to hear it and he enjoyed it as much as I did.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Beautiful harvest happening at your place. Good job all! I'm hoping one or more of you ladies will do a couple peach recipes! Hugs Karla in Cali!
Thank you for visiting with us 😀
It’s hot here too we’ve had a heat advisory everyday and no rain. It’s hard to believe that the kids here will start school this week. Time just goes by so quickly. Your beans look great. Seems like they grew overnight. 😊
Y’all are really an amazing couple with 2 amazing young ladies who have good guys this is the 1st time I’ve ever commented we enjoy seeing y’all several times a week and the girls channel y’all is in our prayers every day! We are in west central Arkansas in Scott County Ouachita mountains. Have a wonderful summer what’s left of it we’re ready for fall ! God bless 🇺🇸
Thank you so much!!
Love the phrase, " took a spell", referring to Katie shooting out the window. Love it.
I made peach jalapeño jam for the first time this year and it’s soooo good! The sweet peach and the pepper flavor are really good together, I’ve only had it on toast so far but I’m definitely going to try it on cornbread 😊
Matt had me rolling over the attic fan sucking the curtains off the walls 😂🤣😂❤
I just adore the way you two josh each other.. 🥰 and y’all’s bean patch looks absolutely incredible!
I'm just in time 😊
This is an awesome reward for very hot and long day thank you ❤
Thank you for visiting with us!!
The store you went to on your two trips to town to get the soap, was it called Blue Moon Elise?
Yes 😊
I believe the the most frightened I ever was as a young girl was walking though our old church that had those exhaust fans in the ceiling and someone shut them off and the lights. Praying for Granny 🙏
Praying granny gets a good report from the doctors . Have a wonderful week. Love your videos
Mighty fine visit! Been a few days since I could go out to my garden, been too weak. Hope Granny dose well next week. God Bless. Jean ❤&🙏's
Hope you feel better Jean!!
Thank you for allowing me to spend this time with the two. Of u. Such a SWEET TIME SEEING THE LOVE!
Our pleasure!
It is hot. We just got back from the beach and I miss that ocean breeze already. Your harvest is looking good. The peach video was so nice and I was able to take some with us on vacation. I ate one for breakfast bout every morning. I wish summer never had to end just because of all the wonderful garden foods. The heat is hard to stand though. Stay cool and take care. As always- thank you for celebrating Appalachia. 🍑 🍅 🌽 🫑
Thank you for visiting with us!
Thanks for sharing. We are looking to plant peach trees this year. Peach cobbler sounds so good.
I'm praying for Granny. I pray she gets good results from her tests. ❤
Hey y’all, listening to you talk about the grouse & the quail made me think of when I was young in Florida, we had so many quail. Then they started to disappear. The University of Florida did a study & found that when the fire ants started invading Florida the quail began to disappear. They nest on the ground & the ants would attack the babies & it would kill them. I remember they use to fly planes over our neighborhood & drop these pellets that was supposed to kill fire ants. Well all it did was make them more resistant. They are such a nuisance. I’ve never seen fire ants up here, but wonder if maybe something like that caused the quail to slowly disappear. I miss the sound of a Bob white. 😊❤😊🙏 oh prayers for Granny. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love just listening to you two talking.
Thank you 😊
I tried Matt's handkerchief trick and it did keep me cooler!! Praying for Granny!!
Great!!
You & Matt are too cute! I feel like I'm sitting rt there in your shaded but hot yard enjoying a casual visit, maybe w/ a coconut popsickle. Here in Austin, TX, we've some serious heat going on too. 100° w/ nearly 40% humidity at 6:40pm Central time. Didn't dare step outside today. I enjoy your videos and happy to see your garden coming along so well! Have a wonderful wk and show us what you'll be doing w/ the peaches. ☀️🌱🍑🫛🥒🫑🌶🍅🍆🌽
Goodness that is hot! Thank you 😊
I love this, such a relaxing space to chill out in, love your harvest wish y'all the best for the rest of the year
Thank you 😊
@@CelebratingAppalachia you are absolutely welcome, I'm from New Zealand so it's great to see another side to the Appalachian mountains rather than the scary stories I see
I did just have the thought that you're very near to the only part of the US that has naturally occurring venus fly traps. I suspect if you planted some you would have to tend to yours a bit more than nature might, but they would cut down on _some_ amount of insects if you laid them out strategically. They're also just fascinating plants.
That would be neat 😀
We didn't have ac when I was growing up either, but the heat didn't seam so bad then. Looking at your green beans makes me want a pot of beans with some new potatoes cooked in them. our weather has been strange this year also. June was really wet and cool. Sending prayers for Granny. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us.
Peach Cobbler 🍑 :thirty!
I'm 61 and have noticed that as I ve aged the harder it is to take extreme weather cold ❄ and heat
Love your and Matt’s “Popsicle” videos!! Wow big old harvest of beans, among other veggies!! Love those Cherokee Purple tomatoes! Doing good!! I hate hot weather and love/ winter and snow!! God bless and much love to all! 💕🤗🙏🏻
Thank you 😊
Enjoy watching you and Matt talking about life
Thank you 😊
Love watching your videos before I go to bed, so relaxing and I learn new things. Loved the part with the bandana! Matt reminds me of my Daddy and you remind me of my Mama so it’s even more special spending time with y’all. My Mama agrees 😁
As Matt shares more things he destroyed in childhood I’m beginning to wonder if maybe that’s why his parents didn’t have more kids 🤔 😂😂 I’m still laughing about the mischievous adventures he got into 😂😂.
Praying for Granny 🙏❤️🙏
😀
Love seeing your beautiful garden. My mom used to call my dad's garden his "truck patch"! He liked to plant enough for the deer and rabbits too he said! My husband and I click our Popsicles together too now!😂 except the ones here are skinny compared to yours!
😀
Praying for the entire family! God Bless!
Extra prayers for Granny! Hopefully they’ll find out something soon
I am in agreement with Matt on the pepper jelly. I got the recipe from your blog several,years ago. I am always too impatient to wait until the peppers ripen into different colors, so only make green pepper jelly. I got foundered on jelly growing up, but the pepper jelly has such a unique flavor. Great with cream cheese and crackers. I must try those rattlesnake beans. Your enthusiasm is catching.
Thank you Shirley 😀
I remember those days without air conditioning! My parents didn't get air conditioning until after I moved away from home. They had one of those big attic fans, too and to me it sounded like an airplane taking off! I don't know how we stood it now after I've had air conditioning for so long. I guess we were just used to it. I love Matt's stories about his childhood, they're hilarious! I bet they weren't funny to his Momma and Daddy at the time! Praying for Granny. 😆
I grew up in south Florida with no air conditioning and I know I was young but I swear it was bearable. It no longer is!,115 with the heat index in North Florida is pure torture. I cannot bear it a second. I am with you.hurry fall!
I just love watching your videos when you're either picking from your garden and or questions. You and Matt just seem so calm and relaxed and blend together so well. I love your energies!❤❤
We love homemade peach ice cream! ❤ And peach crisp! ❤ Fried peach pies. ❤
Matt, I saw something unusual this past week. I
Was looking out my dining room window and a Quail was walking through my yard! I knew they were fairly close because their call was so loud but I never dreamed they were right by my house! Praying for Granny! ❤
That is great! Thank you 😊
My mom grew up in a big family and they had an attic fan that was a kind they put in a window. Huge metal looking thing. It would cool off every room in the house except for the room the fan was in. They put it in my moms room and she would bring that up to her siblings for the rest of her life 😁.
😀
I live in Oklahoma and grew up here. I am 58, but have never lived without A/C. It’s so hot here, I can’t imagine not having it. I’m definitely soft. I have never even lived without a dishwasher.
I watch The Millennial Gardener. He is based in South Carolina and is also dealing with the heat wave. The other day he said “Its hotter than a billy goat with a blow torch “. That struck me as so funny. My Mom used to say “hotter than Hades”.
It looks like the heat is going to be with us a while.
Love that hot saying 😀
I love homegrown tomatoes so much like Matt. I like the bigger tomatoes that cover a slice of bread. Do you ever eat fresh tomatoes on a hot biscuit? Soo good.
We do that is so good 😊
Tommy: “I yelled FIRE when I fell into the chocolate because no one would come if I yelled “CHOCOLATE!” One of my favorites.

God Bless your family❤ My dad was from Harlan ky and we went there every summer. You guys remind me of those good times. Tipper has the most soothing voice❤
