@@tcmomcoffey4028 Fascinating! I haven't heard about that 😊
Hi from NZ,
When this video came on Miss Cindy's bread was churning away in the bread maker.
You are right it was very sad the last year and stressful recently as well for yourselves and beloved Granny ❤
I think Miss Cindy would be tickled pink to know that people all over the world are making her bread recipe and falling it Miss Cindy's bread , and we didn't even really know her, but we know how much she was loved , and that's the main thing ❤
Godbless, hoping for a Peaceful, Healthy Summer for you all with the arrival of the new Grand baby 👶
Wow your garden is like looking inside a grocery store of vegetables and fruit. It's amazing. I'm a city girl & my husbands grandparents had a big garden they grew just about everything. One time they ask if I wanted to help with corn it was ready. I didn't know what I was getting into. They told me well we have to go and pick out of the garden & told me to watch for snakes that freaked me out then I was told we had to shuck it, then they had these little scrub brushes to get the strings off then we washed it, then we cut it off the cob then we did what they called milking the cob, then we blanched it & put it in the freezer. We put up 200 quarts of corn that day then the next day same thing except they left it on the cob. They had 2 big freezers. That same summer she taught me how to put up dill & bread& butter pickles. They grew plums, muskodine grapes she taught me how to make jam & jelly. They even had chickens, cow & pigs. It was an experience I will never forget some 50 yrs ago.
Love those memories 😊
I live on my own so my garden is all me and I do get overwhelmed by all the chores. Every year though I still want to try more and grow everything! My joy comes when a plant blooms and makes a fruit/vegetable that I can eat knowing the only hands that have touched it are my own. Thanks for sharing the journey!
@heatherfoley4945
I understand exactly how you feel. I live on my own and feel just like that when something blooms and makes something that I'll eat knowing I'm the only one ever touched it especially if it's from a plant I seed saved from. I love it but Lord I believe it's going to be the death of me there's always so much to do especially heating with wood and It's hard to find anyone to do work anymore too.
@@jamiedolen3182 It is so hard to find help, I know how you feel too. Wow...heating with wood is a demanding job. I wish I had been able to start earlier in my life working towards my dream but I do what I can now. Enjoy the summer and not having to heat the house. And all the gifts from the garden! =)
It is such a joyful thing 😊
Tipper, your thoughts make me wonder if gardeners are generally optimistic people. I'm guessing so. I enjoyed seeing all your young plants. Thank you for the garden tour. ❤
Do you like asparagus? If you do, it might make your garden chores easier in the future if you plant a large bed area of asparagus and strawberries intermingled. They grow really well together and both are perennials. Every year delicious food with a little maintenance but, no planting. We've done that in 2 places. So rewarding! Just an idea that has helped us since I consistently overwhelm myself by wanting to plant every seed in every corner to bring forth the life He has made possible to us for nourishment of body and soul growing in His likeness. Miracles are wonderful things!
We live asparagus and have two beds. I didn’t know you could add strawberries 😊 thank you!
Good information
Your garden looks awesome, it really brings a peaceful feeling to watch you & Matt planting & waiting for the beautiful bounty of the garden….i guess because it brings back such wonderful memories of my daddy and his love of having a big garden and sharing….He loved to share his bounty, he took vegetables to the elderly in the neighborhood, he took it to doctor appointments & to church, he would just beam with joy when they made over him and telling him how good everything was…he sure was an awesome selfless god loving man…😊
I'm so glad you enjoy it!!
My Daddy would do the same. Everyone that came by got a tour of his garden and always took home a bag of vegetables. I have a cousin that lives in New York city and he would overnight her tomatoes!
Hi Tipper! I am really enjoying your garden and the way
They are growing. Keep up the good work I am following you all this year in growing my garden. This is a good year and doing the same as you I wish I had a greenhouse maybe one day I will get one but I have blueberry bush. And it’s only the second year for it and what I did is I turn a tomato cage upside down and put the clear Burpee planters ,that you get your plants in, around the blueberries. I put the holes on the steaks that would go up instead of down and put the berries inside the clear cups and it’s kinda deters the birds they don’t see them
With groceries so expensive, your garden is a blessing.
Such a Fine Family and I do believe You do All You Know to live in a way God would be Pleased with. I know You are humble and don't want any credit but before You say anything please let me say Your Family has helped me in my little corner on the earth to have peace.
You are so kind! Thank you 😊
Seeing the joy in your face and hearing the love in your voice as you walk through your garden is a gift you share so I too can “Celebrate Appalachia “.Thank you.😍
So nice of you! Thank you!
I am sure if a lot of us viewers lived close by, we would all help you with your gardens. They look so lush and beautiful!
So nice of you
Thank you Tipper for your garden tour. Always Love celebrating Appalachia with you all.
Oh man, those cabbages are GORGEOUS! When Matt and Corie were planting them, I thought they would be okay, but they are simply spectacular. The carrots look wonderful too. Fingers crossed on the corn and Granny and Corie's gardens coming up!
Thank you 😊
I just LOVE garden tours. I get so many ideas and learn so much. Thank you for sharing yours with us
We use our garlic scapes to make pesto. My husband pickles or ferments scapes which are really good in egg salad, stirfriy, fritattas, quesadillas, etc. They are also good in yogurt sauces with falafel. I always pick the scapes before they get too tough. You don't want them to start to make the seeds/flower. And once you pick the scapes the energy will go down to the bulb and it will grow bigger.
We do the same thing. It looks like Tipper needs to cut the scapes right now. It will make the heads larger too.
Sounds great!
Tipper I lived in Alabama 30 years, the soil there loves pine needles. In the spring everyone is going to Lowe’s , Walmart or wherever pine straw is sold. Flowers there especially all bushes that needs acid. If you have pine trees rake up underneath and put around your garden.or flowers. Maybe if there is anyone from Alabama reading this you might can tell Tipper more to help her out.
Oh my goodness, you evoked a memory. Mama always cooked poke salad. She would boil it, drain , and then saute with green onion and eggs. It was so good. She would also make quick pickles with boiled stems of the poke salad.
I love getting to go along on the garden tour Tipper, everything looks so lovely.
Thank you 😊
Your garden is looking beautiful. You can tell you and Matt has really been busy you can eat good this winter
Such a beautiful garden...I hope Granny's green bean turn out well. Thank you and May God bless the family.
Thank you!! Hope you've had a good day 😊
Your yard & gardens are so pretty!!! Your hard work & effort are truly evident. I love watching you all every day that you make videos. It's how I end my evenings. It brings me happiness to see how you are as a family. I feel so happy after watching your family. You are a beautiful family.
Thank you so much!
Tipper, you are looking as happy as your beautiful garden ❤
Oh thank you 😊
Your so much like my Aunt Maude its a blessing to her you talk about gardening. If she had a seed , she would always say i'll find a place for it.
We grow a lot of garlic, I'm not super knowledgeable about it, but yes eat the scapes. Just YT it! I have 13 gardens and do most of it because my hubby commutes long distance-2 weeks on 2-off so I'm on my own 6 months and am my body is kind of shot, old injuries haunting me. God bless ya'll. Your all on my prayer list in my book. Granny too of course!
Tipper, I know that you know how blessed you are with that sweet sound of your creek. Your garden is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the name of your first grandchild. It is a beautiful name.
Thanks so much!!
Tipper, yours and Matts garden is looking so good. I'm here in Florida's Space Coast area and we are in a major drought. It has been months since we have had a good soaking rain. When it does rain it is so hard and fast that it just runs off and doesn't have time to soak into the soil. Plus, Sat is the start of hurricane season. Enough of my complaining. Really enjoy watching your wonderful videos of living in the mountains and wish that I was back there myself. Stay safe and harvest plenty of great fruits and vegetables this year. Prayer and best wishes to Granny.
Glorious garden to see ! This video is 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐celebration of delicious promises !! A lovely stroll so much goodness to be appreciated 📖Amen
Glad you enjoyed it
Tipper, I reckon many of us relate to your remarks about that time when everything in the garden is at its most beautiful. Ours here in north central Texas was a few weeks ago, the zenith of beauty in the garden beds around our house. It's lasting a tad longer thanks to abundant rain (praise God). Now here comes the plague of grasshoppers. They've been terrible for about...this'll be the 4th year. I don't throw a bunch of pesticide, concerned about it affecting the hummers (hummingbirds) I'm obsessed with attracting and keeping. I LOVE the way your gardens look, get so much inspiration and great tips. So grateful for your family's channels, y'all have become dear to me like I know ya. As always, THANK YOU. 🙌🏼 💞
Thank you so much!! I hope the grasshoppers go away 😊
I use garlic scapes in pasta dishes and make pesto. I plan to pickle some this year. Your garden looks wonderful. God bless you all.
Thank you Lisa 😊
Your garden looks amazing. The blueberries and grapes look good. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us. God bless ya'll ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m with you Tipper, every day I’m out looking and always surprised. One day you think nothing is growing,you turn around the next day bam. It never gets old. God knows how to keep our attention in a fun way I’ll say. Thanks for the garden walk. Brooks Oregon.
If you eat Italian food and you grow basil, you could cook a big panful of bolognaise sauce with rich tomatoes, and if you grow basil, you could tear some fresh basil leaves into the finished sauce. So delicious with pasta and some crunchy garlic baguette!! So comforting and delicious, makes my mouth water just talking about it!! I love your garden, I don’t have one and I’ve got garden envy!! All those delicious vegetables and herbs. Can’t beat freshly homegrown veg, and so healthy and organic - no pesticides used. 😊
These are my favorite type of videos. So peaceful and calming. You’ve put so much love into your property. 😍🌸
Thank you so much!
Made a pizza with scape pesto: fantastic flavor! Scapes are a precious seasonal treasure, so eat them when you see them. 🌱
What a joy to tour your and Matt's garden, Tipper. Everything looks great!
Your garden looks great! You should cut the garlic scapes chop, add to scrambled eggs or any dish. Some people do a quick fridge pickle. Our weather has been a bit chilly. Radishes and lettuce are up. Grassy weeds are taking over!! Hello from cloudy Oregon.
The garden is so lush and beautiful! The cabbages look amazing too! Such a blessing to be able to walk out your backdoor and harvest what you need to feed your family.
Such a beautiful peaceful garden
That first shot of the video the garden looks beautiful 💚💚💚
Outdoors; LOVE outside time during garden season is the best time of the year .
Thank you for sharing 😊
It sure is
Thanks for sharing! We grow a lot of herbs, micro/mini tomatoes and peppers in our greenstalks and bush beans. They are on the patio outside the mud room door. The mud room is off the kitchen so, they work great for fresh eating/ cooking throughout the growing season. At the end of season, the herb plants are pulled and hung in the mud room to dry then jarred and used out-of-season. Some varieties we use are tomatoes; orange hat, micro tom, tiny tom, peppers; kitchen minis, snackables, pot-a-peno. There are other varieties too.
Gm. Tipper. I always enjoy you and your family.
Hubby harvested his first squash today from our little gardens. He has 6 more that are not quite ready yet all from the same plant. I love eating fresh from the garden.
The channel, true grit Appalachia ways, just had a video not long ago and her little girl was out cutting the scapes off the garlic. Said she would freeze them if they didn’t eat them fresh and they are delicious. Said she’d been tossing them, till someone told her and they are good.
Everything looks beautiful!
I’m in ah ; the garden is so pretty and growing so fast, just turning June, Tipper got a green thumb. So happy to see your great garden Ty’s 🧡
Thanks so much
Beautiful garden tour!!! Thanks for taking us along. I could smell it all right through my screen. 🥰😋
Tipper, everything is beautiful! You and Matt have accomplished so much, not just for yourselves, but, for all of your precious family!
If you have access to pine needles, you should mulch everything with them, thick enough to smother some of your weeds. Use them to line in between your rows to walk on. You’ll always have a supply of mulch, and way better for your dirt. The brown ones are the best, so they won’t be so sticky!
Thank you so much!
My grandma always said plant okra in the most wet place in your garden. She always had huge crops of okra
Such a beautiful example of hard work and determination. 😊
Your gardens are absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤ you are so right a garden is so so special, peaceful, and hopeful🫶🏽🥰🙌🏼
Thank you so much 😊
Good job Tipper and Matt , y’all’s gardens look great, I have Tennis size tomatoes on my vines, keep those wonderful videos a coming. Us Okies enjoy them all all, I watch you guys and the girls videos over and over. I’ve watched you and Matt 3 or 4 times sitting on the Tractor and Matt telling about the kid that was looking the dog in the face and asking Cecil if the dog could see him. Praying for Corie and Granny.
I always look forward to seeing your garden. It is such a peaceful space. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
I just love all the varieties you plant in the garden. It's doing so well too. Hope you have a great week!❤
I love your top Tipper. That is a perfect shirt to wear to the garden. Thank you for the tour.🌺 I know y’all are getting excited for the next baby to get here. It will be kind of like having twins again. I know my sister and our first cousin having boys at the same time has been a blessing. They will be nine this year and are so close. Love to all.
Thank you!!
PS- I saw on a Chinese cooking show where the lady chopped up garlic scapes and put them in stir fry. It looked so good!
Tipper plant petunias in your green stalk planter. The pink ones make a beautiful show in one.
Can't wate to see all the flowers you bought planted and beautiful in bloom
I’m looking forward to watching your garden grow! We have planted and are watching ours come up too. ☀️
Everything is looking so good. Y'all are so blessed. That's what happens when you live for Christ. God bless y'all. 🙏❤🙏❤
Thank you Tipper for sharing your beautiful garden with us stay safe.

So exciting when your garden begins to grow! I love that. God bless you all!!
You and the whole family just bring a bit of nostalgia to me, such a peaceful part of my day when I can tune into your channel, thank you 🎉
You are so kind! Thank you 😊
Thank you for the beautiful garden tour. Tipper, your voice is so soothing and calming. Love all of your wonderful family. Blessings to all.
Thanks so much 😊
Looks like you will be rewarded greatly by your beautiful garden. Matt's working hard in Pap's garden & I see lots of corn coming up so I guess the crows didn't eat it all before it popped up. Happy to go along with you on the tour.
Thank you!!
A growing garden is so exciting, I just love to see all the changes through the season. Your garden is beautiful.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful gardens. I love watching you give a garden tour. I grow more than I need because I love to watch it grow and I love to give surplus to our friends. I put leaf lettuce in hanging pots covered with netting. They are flourishing.
Thanks so much! So happy for your lettuce!!
I was rolling along behind you. I love following you around your gardens. God bless.
Your garden looking great. Thanks for sharing Tipper & Matt. May God bless your harvest. 🙏🙋🙂
Beautiful garden Tipper!! You and Matt have done yourself proud. It’s hard work but so rewarding. I’m praying for Corie and Austen as the birth o their baby is fast approaching. Much love from Montana! 😊💕🙏
What a beautiful oasis ❤I’d never leave😚~Kathy
Y'all have a great garden it's beautiful great video thanks up for 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you 😊
Wow!! Everything looks so beautiful and lush. Thank you for taking us along for a wonderful tour of all of your gardens. I have three raised beds that I’ve planted in. So far my little garden boxes are growing. I planted beets, carrots, cucumbers, radishes, green onions, green peppers, celery and tomatoes. Plus several herbs. It got too late for my peas, and potatoes. I get so excited when I see things coming up. 😍
Thank you so much!
Simply. Gorgeous. 😊
Thank you! 😊
We made a big backyard garden this year for the first time. I tilled up about half my backyard and have different varieties of tomatoes, peppers, watermelon, strawberries, zucchini and several rows of sweet corn. Then I put some blackberry bushes at one end. Everything's growing like crazy right now.
Always enjoy when you give tours of your garden ❤️
Thanks so much
Your garden is so beautiful. I could just feel the cool earth on my feet. You are right about the bounty you will enjoy. It is the gift God gives us when we return to his beginnings. There is peace in a garden. Thank you for the tour. It made my day!
Blessings 🙏❤️💛💚
Always wonderful catching up with you all.😊❤
Thanks for coming 😊
Your place looks so beautiful. Just love your garden. I'm sure the grand baby's will love playing in your yard.
I bought lambs quarter from my gardener. She said it is native to Alabama. Tastes like a mild spinach. Very tender and quick cooking.
I sure enjoyed the tour! ❤🎉 I’m living my gardening through you!
Y’all’s garden looks great! It’s goin to be a bountiful harvest, with lots of good things to eat and preserve!
So beautiful! With all you have had going on, it’s amazin you got all this done. Good going Tipper and Matt. Enjoy your many blessings.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful garden. I can't wait to see your bountiful harvest. I believe those scapes on your garlic should be removed in order for the plant to put all its energy into the head of garlic below ground instead of its energy into flowers for seeds.
Your garden is awesome. My husband bought me some rased beds but he passed away in April so I hope next year. I had so many things to do and I still work so God bless you all.
I’m so sorry you lost him.
Tipper, check with Meg at Hollar Homestead, for the onions and garlic, she is great, also, ground coffee is great to protect your veggies from cut worms and certain pests. I use coffee grounds on all of my plants. Garden is beautiful, God bless you and your family.
I really miss my garden. Living aboard my boat is the trade off.
Everything is looking great. I love this time of year in my garden. From the looks of your garlic scapes, now is the time to cut them. Cut them at the place that they appear from the leaves. Dont wait till the flower head gets developed or they will not be tender. You can make a puree with cheese and olive oil just like basil pesto. They can be chopped and frozen like green onions. I use mine in spaggetti sauce.
Yes, pick those garlic scapes! Slightly milder garlic flavor and can be used just like garlic. My favorite way to use them is to make garlic butter. I make as much as I can and store it in the freezer to ration out until the next scape season. I also freeze dry some to make garlic salt. Yum!!
You need to get them off the plant so the energy is forced into the bulbs instead of the flowers. 😉 Thanks for the tour of your beautiful garden!!
What a beautiful, peaceful walk through your garden. Thank you.😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I love having a garden.
My whole life my family had a huge one
We all snapped beans
and worked in it & canned what we could.
So exciting watching the growing steps of it all. My garden now days is very small.in my few raised beds i have to be careful not to over plant. So hard. Lol
Enjoyed your garden tour.
Terri R.
I miss having a garden. It's so fun to tour the garden to see what's coming out. There is so much joy seeing the bloom and then seeing the fruit. Thank you for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your garden is beautiful. Hope the corn continues to do well. ❤❤
Thanks for sharing your garden tour. Its all coming together!
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Your gardens all look healthy and vibrant and flowers bloom in.......🫐🍓🥕🌼🌻🌹🌽🍅🌶🫑🧄🧅
What a beautiful garden… even with all you have going on it’s just beautiful. Watching you & all your beautiful family just brings me peace. Thank you for that…
You are so kind! Thank you 😊
Everything looks great. I have seen videos where people take the scapes dehydrate them and make a garlic powder. Also I have seen them make a pesto and freeze it too. Hope everything keeps growing and thriving. Yall have a blessed night.
The garden looks spectacular!!
I love garlic scapes! They need picked off because they take energy from the bulb and it won't grow as big. It's a bonus crop! I chop them and saute them and this year I made a wonderful pesto that I spread on burgers, or pizza or wherever I want a nice garlic flavor.
you can use the garlic scapes anywhere you would use garlic you can slice them up like green onions and saute them add them to stir fries or scrambled eggs you can also pickle them like you would pickle a green bean.
