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? ❤❤❤
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 😀
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 😀 Usually we would have already planted them-typically the first week in May 😀
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.
I said it once, I’ll say it again, Matt’s a keeper Tipper! He’s a good man buying you that pretty glider. He put it in the perfect spot with the trees shading, the beautiful scenery behind y’all and we can even hear the creek water flowing. Yep, he’s a keeper! Then he’s got him a mighty fine wife too and he best always be keeping you! Great video as always, thanks for sharing!
You’re professional gardeners & have a gorgeous spread. I’m grateful my Asparagus Fern is still alive after 10+ years! Lol.
😀 Thank you for the kind words!
That’s a nice glider! What a sweet gift from Matt! So much hard work but, your garden is looking great. Continued prayers for Miss Cindy. God bless y’all. 🙂❤️
Keep a garden sprayer inside the greenhouse with vinegar and just spray floor periodically. Weed barrier is trash. You can also just tack down some cardboard with some landscaping pins. Love your garden!
Thank you 😀
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!
Matt’s so right about those peanut butter little Debbie’s are awesome!! 😂 prayers are still going up for Mrs Cindy and y’all!
It's so peaceful to watch and listen to you and Matt in the garden. Looks beautiful.
Thank you 😀
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 😀
Don’t know you but it makes my heart happy that you’re getting back into gardening again. It is so beneficial to our well being. Plus, filling our stomachs and pantries. Happy gardening.💚👩🌾☀️
Tipper has got me also starting a garden for the first time. She’s a good one, I just hope mine looks half as good as hers lol. Glad you’ve gotten back into it.
Spray the ground and the walls of the greenhouse with white vinegar. It kills back the weeds and the mold that grows on the walls. Better yet go to a farm supply and get vinegar with a higher % of acidity.
Thank you Papaw!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia good info!
It works great!
"If it's in my house it's mine". LOL. Got to love Matt.
I had to leave my garden for a few days, my husbands grandfather went on home to glory on Thursday and we went to Georgia to bury him and honor his legacy and family. It was a beautiful homecoming service and my garden exploded while we were gone for 4 days.. thanks for the video and don’t go crying for us, we are rejoicing in the promise of heaven!
Sending y’all prayers 😁❤️
Marigolds keep the bunnies and deer away. We used that for our garden.
My daddy loved radishes and I used to give him big ones so I could listen to him crunch them!
As always, it’s such a treat enjoying y’all’s small talk with your popsicles. Since my family is all gone, you keep me afloat. I went to UGA and spent thanksgiving in Mountain City, TN and our days in Boone, NC. We went driving thru the mountains and found Boone by accident and that became our go to car ride when we went to visit our Mamaw and Papaw. I love you all so much…don’t worry, we aren’t stalkers or psychos, just plain old people with a good southern upbringing who enjoy a good moon pie and grape Nehi and green beans cooked in fatback! We will continue to stop back by and help you celebrate Appalachia, and remember my wonderful family who looks down from heaven and thank you for keeping me company! (Hope that didn’t sound too silly!)
Bless you and thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoy visiting with us 😀 Sounds like we have much in common! We appreciate you 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia ☺️
Beautiful garden! The glider is a perfect gift. May you spend many happy hours in it eating popsicles. 😀
Thank you Susan 😀
We’ve been keeping you & Ms Cindy in our thoughts. Best to you all from Maine.
Thank you!
What a BEAUTIFUL garden! 👍 Wow. Even seeing this set-up in Winter will be an inspiration.
Thank you 😀
The glider is beautiful. Your garden is coming along and you both work so hard.
Whew!!! Matt I thought I had a " honey do list". God bless you Sir!😅
😀
I put flamingos (bought at the dollar store) around my sunflowers last year because I thought, surely deerin Indiana have never seen pink birds! 😂 It actually worked and I got several sunflowers. First time in years that we could grow sunflowers.
Love that!
Always enjoy spending time with good folks. 🙏 God. Bless 🙏
We had deer hit us a few times & an elderly man that lived up at the head of the branch told me to run three strands of fishing line. One two foot high, one three foot, & one line four foot high. As I stood there looking at him awaiting further instructions, he said,” when the deer come night or day, they can’t see the fishing line. When they walk into it they get spooked cause it physically obstructs them. They will probe the perimeter, but as they continue hitting the line, they will move on”. I truly didn’t believe this would work but, We never lost another thing. We even watched them on a trail cam. As they walked into the line it would scare them 😇❤Deer are curious creatures and the simplest things will spook them,& on the other hand I’ve been sitting in a tree stand, drop my keys,& watch them walk towards the stand looking for what made the sound of my keys 😳 Great video ❤
Beautiful flowers, all your hard work pays off, gardening is so exciting especially the bounty of harvest God blesses us with. Love the popsicle talks.
Thank you Brenda 😀
Years ago we’re 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 we’d planted them as a special treat. We quickly discovered why no one had gardens or trees. Since moving we haven’t 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!! ❤
Tipper, your yard and garden is just lovely and so peaceful! I'm with Matt. Give me a snowy day by the fire enjoying the fruits of your summer labors. God gives us so many good things, including the seasons that you (and I) so enjoy!
Thank you 😀
Your popsicle talks bring me so much peace, thank you. It's like I am sitting with my grandparents and we are together again. You remind me of them very much. Hope you are all well.
I appreciate so much your Sunday evening posts. Thank you for sharing your time with us. Prayers continuing for Ms. Cindy and for all of y’all. Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
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 🌞 Bought more vinegar and am waiting for another sunny day to pour out a flowerbed's shape.
Please tell Matt that fishing must be the priority. Anything else can wait. 😊😊😊. Take care both of you. In our prayers.
My sister is a production manager at the Little Debbie (McKee) Collegedale, TN production facility. I’ll have to tell her about how good the Deer Hunter & his coworkers thinks one of their new products is! 💯❣️🇺🇸 😉
Tell her someone in AL really misses the banana twins. I guess they quit making them. Lol
😀
That is a beautiful rocking chair that is like I want !!! You got a wonderful chair with someone to rock with!!!
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!
Presley Energizer Bunnies 😁 I think Matt’s knife is from Finland, well known for high quality knives.
😀 Thank you for visiting with us 😀
My husband and I used to love the Little Debbie PB&Js but we can’t find them anymore. Well, actually that’s probably a good thing!😂 I’m still praying for Miss Cindy and for your family. I know she is loved and well cared for.
Tipper and Matt, you are the sweetest couple. I love your glider and of course your beautiful yard and gardens. Life is good.
I love to make radishes like greens and potatoes. The radish greens taste like mustard greens, and when cooked, radishes taste like potatoes. So, so yum! BTW - if you use mulch in the green house, you'll need to use a pre-emergent because mulch is a pre-dirt. Once it breaks down, it's dirt and it doesn't prevent anything...it feeds. It is widely used as a barrier but unless you use a pre-emergent...you're basically feeding the weeds. But you'll figure out what works best for you.
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.
I love your new glider! Good job Matt!👍
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 didn’t come up but the second ones came up right away. I love your videos and praying for Miss Cindy. 😢
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.❤️
Very pretty glider chair and thank you for the garden tour and popsicle time.
that glider sure was a nice gift!! the garden sure looks good. prayers continued for Miss Cindy. that was so cute and funny about the apples, bet them squirrels still talk about their apple raids. May the good Lord continue to bless you and your family!!
Honey buns an oatmeal pies moon pies don't eat them anymore but the memories are dear to me have a day love from TEXAS
My grandma used to drink Postum because (being LDS) she wasn't allowed to drink coffee😢 I loved that stuff😅 next grocery visit I'm gonna get some! Thanx for the reminder 🎗️🙂
Love your home your gardens and yard so beautiful surrounded by woods
Everything is looking good especially the long row of brown slate like rocks!!
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 😂 sounds like Him & My Daddy had to know each other GOD BLESS & Prayers for Everyone!!
The yellow flowers around minute 13 are what my mother always called Missouri Primrose.
Thank you Pam 😀
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.
That's awesome ...btw thank you for your kind words .I got it Saturday. Felt so awesome to get.
I'm glad! Thank you Robert 😀
The gardens are beautiful and Matt did good picking out your Mother’s Day gift. I didn’t know they were making a new version of the old version. I love the chairs like that too!
Prayers and love to you and your family 🙏🏼❤️
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!
I see you use the cattle panels my favorite way, I really like to loop the panel making like a tunnel to grow my green beans! It’s double nice for harvesting when the bean vines are full where I can walk into the shady tunnel full of beans ready to be picked while I’m still in the shade during the hot summer days! Your garden looks so beautiful, I can’t wait to see the bounty it produces! Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with all of us extended family 😂 over the mountains!
Thank you Thomas 😀
Nice job Matt love the glider tipper you got a charm there
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! 🙏🙏❤❤
Its starting to get busy with grass to mow gardens to take care of not to mention everything else hope you have abundance of food from all your hard work
Thank you Tammy 😀
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.
I love the gliding 'love' seat for you two sweethearts. Proverbs 16:9 ....the heart of man makes his plans but the Lord establishes his steps. That is how life goes. The gardens are looking great - good eats ahead in due time. Always enjoy spending time with you both & the girls.
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.💖🙏🌸
My condolences to Matt's boss' family.
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.
I love your videos. Your family is such a blessing❤❤❤
Your garden is a rustic wonder!
That t-shirt is your colour. Very pretty.
😀 Thank you
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.
I'm with Matt about heat versus cold! Give me snow every day and I'm in heaven! Hate the summer! 🥵
🤩😍 Y'all looks great in that pretty glider!!
The yellow flower you called sundrop is also called Evening primrose❤
I’m with Matt..black coffee is LIFE!😅
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!
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 !!!
The pretty yellow flowers are I believe to be a type of buttercup. We had them from my grandma but didn’t 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!
Your garden is going together just beautifully. That Mother's Day glider from Matt was a perfect gift for you. He's so sweet! Look forward to seeing a video of Matt & his kayak. I'm ready for some good laughs when he first starts out & gets his "sea legs". I love your chats after a hard days work. Your home is such a relaxing place to be at when there is not work to be had. Prayers for Miss Cindy ... may she have a good day today! Hugs!
Thank you 😊
Hopefully you have everything ready before the storm take care
Thank you for visiting with us 😀
We have to put an electric fence round our main garden. My husband’s huntin grounds are our 70 acres and the surrounding 500 hardwood forest on deep slopes. The deer decimate our garden, but a high electric fence keeps us safe.
So glad the fence works 😀
Oh my, there ain't nothing like a Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie! 😋 I grew up on those. LOL
God bless ya'll, and have a great week. 🙌
Sending continued healing thoughts and prayers for Ms Cindy and ya'll. ❤️🙏❤️
Matt did a great job on the Mother’s Day gift! Continued 🙏🙏🙏 for your family.
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 it’s going to look nice. Some of them might be a little close together because you won’t believe how big they will get.
I like to put roofing shingles down on the ground where i am not wanting to weed eat, they work real well at making a weed barrier.
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.
Love the way your garden is looking nothing like a good looking garden. I had to fence my garden to keep the dear out I can be mowing grass and they just stand in the yard and eat need to start shooting some .
We are really blessed in North Carolina to be able to grow a large variety of plants. Your garden is looking good. I have a few more things I need to plant before it gets too hot. I want to plant the snake beans I bought from Baker’s Creek, but I don’t really have a place to let them climb. I thought about letting them climb up the porch rails. Then I can just sit on the porch and pick beans🤣. My dad loves radishes. His favorite snack is a bowl of radishes sprinkled with a pinch of salt. He can eat a whole bowl with a piece of light bread and just make a meal from them. Maybe I will get him some for Father’s Day. Have a good week Tipper and family. Your family is on my heart.
Thank you Lori!!
Everything looks so green and pretty
The name of “sundrops” or “suncups” is botanically known as Zoe others fruticosa. They are of the primrose family, but open during the day, evening primrose opens toward evening. Sundrops are native to Eastern Appalachia and are perennial.
Interestingly, as a transplant to Middle TN, we have a local soft drink called “Sundrops” it’s like Mountain Dew, but actually better! When my brothers come visit & when I travel to Greene County, TN my home, I have to supply many bottles of Sundrop! I don’t drink them unless I’m real sick & need a pep up. They have caffeine, so Tipper not recommended for you. I’ll send a six pack just to try for anybody in y’all’s family who is willing! I saw that Austin drinks Mountain Dew, well he could be y’all’s Guinea Pig! Blessins, Allison
Thank you Allison! I remember someone at my Granny Gazzie's drunk Sundrops 😀
We have Sundrops here in NWNC 😋
So glad to see gliders are back! My grandma had one on her porch, my parents had one on their porch till wasn’t usable anymore! I will have to look for one! Way to go Matt! That is one fantastic present!! Hope we can find one!
I don’t sleep late on my off days neither, and for the same reasons! I don’t know very many people who love getting up early… my life long friend does, and we have the best conversations almost every day before sunup 🤣
Our families are thankful for cell phone texting! 😂
♥️Radishes, steamed soft, split in half with butter melting over them ! Never ate radishes because their flavor was awful on my taste buds, until I was out of vegetables and.had only radishes remaining from a friend's garden gift
so I thought let's cook them, yummy creamy taste ! A wonderful surprise!
Your garden is such a labour of love!❤️🇨🇦
The glider is very cool, I have to get one 👍
😀
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.
Matt. The hardest working man in show business.
Your garden is so beautiful. It looks like every leaf is in it's place. Funny thing about landscaping twine. Way back in "81 my parents bought a produce, floral and landscape business. My mother got a real deal from a plant nursery at one point, very early on in the ownership of their business. The deal was $10.00 for a case of waxed floral string. It's usually used to tie back plants to stakes. There were four dozen boxes in each case and one dozen spools in each box. I grew up hearing my father sputter about how they couldn't use that much floral string in 10 lifetimes. Everytime one of my siblings or I would visit them, my dad would try to give away a box of floral string. When my mother and father had both passed away there was still a case and a half left. Everybody took one box except me. I took the remaining which was an entire case. Everybody in the family has plenty of floral string, especially me. We use it for everything. I haven't decided who I will leave it to in my will.😂
Oh my goodness 😀 thank you for sharing the story of the twine
You have a beautiful garden. Nothing better than a Nehi belly washer except maybe an RC cola and peanuts. Still praying for you all. Please keep praying for my wife.
I see others have mentioned cardboard. It works great even without wood chips. Just keep layering, and if you are like me, there is always an excess. Love watching you 2 work together. I lost my husband 7 years ago, and although he wasn't a gardener, I miss having someone to share a popsicle with. Love your videos
Thank you!! I'm so sorry you lost him.
Matt is so sweet and so handsome! He's a great husband and daddy! 💖
Your garden and yard looks absolutely lovely!!!
Thank you!
"If its in my house its mine" hahaha nothin' better than krinkle fries. Gosh i love your channel!
Your property looks fantastic! The hard work is paying off! My grandparents had the metal vintage garden furniture, including the table and chairs with the umbrella. The chairs would rock on a spring like structure! We always tease my wife, her name is Debbie!😊🇨🇦
Thank you Gary 😀
Your garden looks great! I love your Mother’s Day gift. Matt did good!!! Hope y’all have a good week. Continuing to pray for Miss Cindy.
Up here Rhode Island we call the pretty yellow flowers , 4 o’clocks. Your yard so beautiful. Will be able to plant by end of the month. Take care. Prayers for all.
