The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit!!! I love watching you both be so patient with your garden!!! Learning so much from you both!!!! May God continue to bless you and your garden!!!!!
I love that!
My Okra is coming up, my squash has flowers. So do my potatoes. Tomatoes the size of golf balls. God is Good 😊
Wonderful!
Yes He is, all the time! Enjoy that wonderful bounty friend!
Gosh! Where do you live? I’m so far behind, just got my tomatoes in the ground!
I dearly love Okra and Tomatoes 🍅 stewed together with onions 🧅

I was raised in the midwest in flat farm country and remember getting almost claustrophobic when we'd travel through mountains on vacation. As an adult and on a business trip, though, we'd stopped to look at a piece of property for sale up in Maggie Valley for a possible retreat. On looking out over the mountains, I had such an overwhelming feeling that God was there. I heard a co-worker ask another why I was crying, but not sure I could have explained that feeling if they'd asked. Of course God is everywhere but on that day, I knew for certain that only God could create something so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!!
Don’t ever stop making videos,you just don’t know how much you make my long lonely days better. I can’t wait for the baby to get here, I sure hope Corie lets us see him. I believe you are going to have a huge abundance of vegetables, God is good. I send my love.
Thank you for visiting with us!!
You are the most humble gentleman I have ever seen. Nice folks!
Nothing Better than walking in your own backyard and just picking stuff off the garden and eating it many blessings that God gives you ❤️
I absolutely love walkin the woods nature is calming
Me too 😊
These are the days we looked forward to all winter long. It's hard to believe that we're only one month away from the longest day of the year, already. We'll be harvesting and preserving food before long. We started with asparagus this week. Another growing season is upon us. Yeehaw! Best wishes for a bountiful harvest!
It's such a great time of the year 😊
⚘ Oh, Tipper. I so needed walking in the woods. Thank you all.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
Especially if you’re like me I live in the City 🏙
Always LoVe the mountain stream! 🥰
Thanks so much for sharing. Your energy level is apparently recovering from being away from the house during Granny’s hospitalization. There isn’t any reason to worry that your gardens won’t be gloriously beautiful.
The house has to be filled with sounds and smells. Activities and emotions of days gone by Having babies in the house and family immediately brings to mind. After you’ve finished your season of child rearing. ‘ How in the WORLD did I manage. 😊 ? But oh the joyful times. Savor the moment. Each and every.
It’s great that you and Matt can be together in your hikes. Close to home but the forest. Gives renewed energy and awe of Gods grace. Take care everyone.
Every single time I watch your vlogs, memories of my family come flooding in my mind. I used to go on walks in the woods with my great aunt and uncle who had a place up near McGrady NC. You took a right up the mountain and then there you were at the end of the road. It was always cooler up there and stepping into the woods was spectacular on the senses. I loved the smell, the sounds, the beauty, and the drop in temps. I especially loved falling asleep to the Whip poor whills.
Love those memories!
Matt looks good without beard.😊looks younger. Enjoyed this ❤ my mom was a great cook too.
Thanks!
❤thanks for all you do. Love you all!!!😊❤🎉❤
Debbie!! Thank you for all you do for us 😊 We love you!!
Please give us more updates on Granny, Katie and Ira; and the whole family. I'm still praying for Granny and all.
Thank you Peggy! They are all doing really good 😊
So beautiful and lush with all that rain! Would Papaw Tony ever consent to a chatting with Matt on the channel? He sounds like a very special man🩵
If we can ever work it out schedule wise I think he would 😊
Lord Matt makes me nervous standing on that lol.
I just love y'all together. How couples are supposed to be.
Not much more I like than a walk through the woods, especially on a hot day. And the sound of that creek flowing is like music to my ears.
I can't walk in the woods anymore so I watch y'all and it's almost like being there! ❤
I'm so glad you enjoy it 😊
God is so good!!! Love you sharing your life with us! God bless you and your family!!🙏💐🌈🕊😃😀💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much!!
Another great video Tipper. I'm wondering if you have ever heard of a 3 Sisters Garden? I just learned about it this week and it's an traditional gardening method that puts corn, pole beans, and squash all in the same space. If anybody in the comments has tried it I would like to know as well. I might do it next year.
I have never done the three sisters gardening but my Daddy did one time and said he would never do it again. He loved a super neat garden and he Saud that was just a mess. He told me that you can't get in there to harvest your veggies. Like I said I have never tried because if I did I would never hear the end of it. Lol. I sure miss that grumpy sweet man
I have heard of it and we tried it but everything got really tangles up 😊 I wonder if it was because we were growing sweet corn instead of field corn.
While waiting for my yeast rolls to rise, I decided to take a pleasant break and watch your video. It's always a great video because it's laid-back, beautiful, and relaxing.
Thank you for visiting with us 😊
To make papaw Tony's hush puppies all you have to do is hold your mouth just right 😊lol. I heard that saying alot growing up. I've also seen it rain in the front yard and not in the back.
😊
Wow interesting stories great 👍 video ❤scary 😨
My in-laws would place a wooden stake at the end of each corn row and after they plant the seed they would run a thick piece of twine across the row from stake to stake about 4 inches above the ground over the seeds. For some reason it keeps the birds from digging the corn up, and from eating the seedling's. By the time they were 4 or 5 inches tall and touching the twine, they were big enough and they would remove the twine.....they also had a few werlygigs to help too, but this worked like a charm.
That is great!
That was a great walk in the woods and sounds you can only hear in the woods
Shiny pinwheels from a dollar store. Or a few coil-y "foil" gift ribbons pulled apart to tie around the garden. Keep being awesome.
Y’all are making me homesick for my East Tennessee stomping ground. Elizabethton
We add 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp cayenne in cornbread batter with a sliced onion for hush puppies.
This video brings back so many memories to me can I thank you so much. We're still sending the prayer warriors for granny.
Thank you!!
Just from watching your videos, my husband and I decided to try to grow okra. We haven't eaten it before so it will be a real experience.
I hope you enjoy it!!
Some folks have green thumbs, and others have a talent for cooking. My mother was like that too. I love you all. Blessings to you always!
Thank you so much 😊
I live off grid and wish we had a stream like that! I buy drinking water and catch rainwater for bathing and dishes.
10:10 Oh Tippper yes, so many pioneers to the (midwestern) prairie lived in sod houses, dug-outs. My Norwegian ancestors left an established, beautiful farm back home to go to SoDakota. Matriarch was already 50 yrs. old at the time. She left civilization to live (thank God only for a time) in the dirt of the prairie so that her children would better be able to own land, farm, prosper. She looks pretty pressed (like it'd been hard life) in all the old photos, bless her strong heart. Loved this video, as always. 🙌🏼 💞
Love her story! Thank you 😊
Hi Tipper and Matt, my parents bought a farm in 1953. That's where I was raised and we had a storm cellar. It was built in a hill with steps going down under the ground. It had a pipe sticking out of the top., I would speak into the pipe and it would echo. Thank God we never had to use it, but it was nice knowing it was there if we did need it. Thank you for bringing the memories of my childhood back to my mind. I love y'all. Hugs
Love those memories!
Yes. The storms and tornados in ‘73 or ‘76 were fierce. I was a young child in Chattanooga.
These last storms made me mindful of that. We watched it go through us and over us straight towards Elijjay. Sirens going off everywhere here in Chatsworth.
Love to come along with you and Matt I am not able to do these things anymore so it is nice to watch you
Hope to plant peas this week. My 92 year old aunt found a small container of white peas my grandmother use to grow. My grandmother stopped gardening in the early 80s. They probably won't germinate but I'll try. Maybe some will and I can get a start of seeds.
Oh I hope they do!!
You are the first person I have heard beside myself say "teen ninty" I began to think I had made it up 😊
😊 Love that!
I thought I heard wrong I played the video back to be certain 😂
I hang up old CD's that sway and sparkle in the wind, to keep the birds away. The song birds pay no attention to them but woodpeckers and bigger birds keep away from it. The only issue if there is no sun or wind then your CD bird deterrent is useless. Haha
It’s awesome to see Matt working on his tree stand! Really cool to have a spot nearby!!😃👍
Love your videos! You've inspired me to try gardening, and I've bought my first set of grow bags. Wish me luck!
That is great! I hope everything does well 😊
❤
Good luck!
My grandmother made the best salmon patties, fried potatoes, and brown beans. I have tried to make it and it’s okay, just not hers. I think you’re right, it’s the love that she put in it. Have a great week…
What a wonderful walk through the woods🪵 by your home. So peaceful too. Tell Granny hi and asking God to bless her.
Thank you Tipper and Matt for bringing us along on your doings. Looking for to seeing how your garden grows.
Thank you Robin 😊
A "visit" with ya'll, while I had my morning coffee. ❤
I'm in Middle TN, the cicadas are singing loud.
You might look for shiny Christmas ribbon on a spool at the thrift store to use to scare the birds off.
That's a good idea 😊
Wow Matt. Well done pre-blind sir.
My father in law put a pump in the creek for my mother in law to water plants with. They had a well but they never had enough water from it, especially to water anything outside.
Great visit with good conversations.
When you were talking about” alternate housing” like dugouts, I thought about those Soddy kind of houses out there on the prairies. That one always gave me nightmares thinking about it as a young reader. Loved to read about the pioneers . In the library there were picture books with old photographs taken back in the days when people lived in a Soddy. The stories of snakes and burrowing rodents falling right into your house were more than I could stand to think about.
I love those accounts too 😊
enjoyable video it's like sitting on the porch swing with friends
I learned how to do hush puppies from my Papa when I was a kid. The right consistency of batter seems to be the key for me. He and my nanny would always get the batter right with no recipe just mix till it "got right" .
I like to mix up the hush puppy batter and put it out on an iron skillet, very thin layer. We love it.
That sounds great!
You two have me hooked on those Outshine Popsicles 😂 I love them!!! Thanks❤❤❤❤ They should sponsor you all.
Glad you like them!
It sounds so delicious fish and huppuppies and slaw also fries 🍟 and have a blessed day are night 🌙
My daddy made the best hush puppies…I make them just like he did, but like you said…they never taste as good as his❤
I just laughed when Matt said send everyone to town so the two of you could eat the fish 😂❤
😊
Awesome, we have lot's of great crops coming in!
I want some of those hushpuppies.
Good show 👍
Thank you for this relaxing peaceful video love hanging out with y'all ❤❤❤...Camille 😘❤
I second that! With love from another Camille 😊
Good visit yall
Thank Y'all For The Walk Through The Woods. I Lived By A Creek,Had Lots Of Hills,Hollers. We Used To Swing Across The Creek On A Huge Vine. Y'all's Gardens Are Beautiful. Y'all Have A Green Thumb 👍
My radishes made tiny roots and bolted too. The foliage was beautiful. Never had that happen before.
Enjoyed the walk in the woods and your garden is beautiful!❤
We too are getting rain and some cool temps. It’s nice but I’m ready for all the planting weather. The forest looks so pretty. I love the animal life all around ya. Thanks for the pop cycle talk. Brooks Oregon.
I can remember being out with papa in the car we would drive through a rain storm,we would get home and it would be dry,no rain,he would say we forgot to pay the preacher.You ever hear of that old saying?
I have heard that one 😊
Here on the coast of North Carolina we heve thoroughly enjoyed some nice cool days which helps keep the ocean cool.
No complaints from us at all!!
I love hearing you talk about your local ecosystem. A person can learn a lot about a place simply by knowing what weather is common. I'm in Ohio, which is both a Midwestern and an Appalachian state (somewhere around 30/35 of the south-eastern counties of ohio are considered Appalachia). Each year, we get our fair share of Midwestern storms and tornadoes (especially in the north-eastern part of the state where it gets pretty flat), so we tend to have wet springs, but our summers dry out pretty badly by mid-july and the heat us unkind. There's this strange mixture of dense humidity but no rain and dry ground. It makes for a miserable time watering gardens each night, even with garden beds that are fully mulched. Even though the weather isn't always ideal, I wouldn't give up my easy access to kayaking through the Appalachian foothills down the Ohio River! I think your channel does a wonderful job of helping people understand why so many of us stick to our Appalachian roots, whether we're in the north, south, or smack in the middle of the mountains.
Love seeing all that is popping up in the woods. We just had a desert of strawberry fluff. It was so good.
Our woods here on my PA. property the forest floor is covered in ferns.. It is really hard to see the timber rattle snakes and the copper heads... Your lucky to have such a clear forest floor in your area,
Well, that was a nifty find of Matt's arrow after decades! All my indoor starts didn't make it either. I planted the last of my beans & some chocolate mint today, just before it stormed. We've been having lots of them & rain; it's been a blessing for the garden. You're So fortunate u don't have to water! 🙌🏼 I was thinking about you today when cutting up a watermelon and eating it. 😉 Blessings, Ms Tipper. 😊💖🏵️
Hope you have a good week 😊 I had watermelon yesterday!
I so LOVE your location. What a blessing to have grown up there and that you both are able to continue to share with many generations of your family. ❤ Lovingly jealous for sure having come from a family that cannot appreciate descendents living together on and off the God given land 😢. I've always been the outsider with the genetic make up of my earlier family members who lived n farmed in Iowa.
Thank you for visiting with us and for the kindness!!
Thank you for another peaceful walk in the woods. Calming. Makes me happy. God bless your family! When I was growing up my mentally ill mother did not want me at home and wanted me gone at high school graduation. My dad disagreed but she made home very unwelcome for me. I moved far away and made my own life far from my origins. It was very lonely. It is so important for young adult offspring to have a loving home base. You give your girls that. God bless you all!!
I'm sorry your family had to deal with that. Thank you for your kindness and for visiting with us 😊
When Matt came down the ladder, we could see the happiness he feels just in preparing for deer season.
I remember the Tornado that went through Murphy in 1974. I was 21 yrs old at the time.. Me and my wife drove there From Dahlonega, to see the damage. I remember as we were getting close to Murphy, we saw the Tornado had mowed a path through the trees for many miles. Then in Murphy I remember seeing a giant tree that was twisted into, the top gone. That same day in Dahlonega, it took out a chicken house across from Oak Grave trailer Park. Twenty years later in 1994 March 27th. We lived in Oak Grove Trailer park, a Tornado took out the same chicken house, one came down the road and rose up just before it would have hit our trailer. then another Tornado came down the middle of Oak Grove Trailer Park and damaged every trailer BUT OUR Trailer and Yes we were home at the time. .. I always love it when you and Matt go into the woods and along the creek near your home. I spent most of my teen years in the woods near my first home, in Baldwin Georgia. hiking to lake Russell about 5 miles away...
Those storms are so scary! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Now I’m further into the video . Get a sump pump, can be very inexpensive or costly, some water hose, and plug the pump in with an extension cord to the nearest power. You might wonder how I know. For occasional needs it works fine.
Thank you 😊
We had a “fish fry” tonight! Fried catfish, fries, slaw, corn on the cob and baked beans and pound cake with fresh strawberries 🍓!
Yum!
I live in rainy Oregon. But from now till mid September we get NO rain. Not a drop. Nice we had a few light showers today and it washed some pollen down. Nice you two got out and about today.
Miss Tipper, Matt.
Enjoyed
Matt if you climb that stand put on your harness i have a friend who fell out almost killed him !
I was thinking the same thing Tipper!😂 all that talk about yummy fish fries😊sounds so good❤
🤣 "Deer tenderloin need to be as big as a hubcap if you ask me" ❣️
😊
Everything is so green! Looks so lush.
We have already got green beans, squash and peppers. Our okra, peas and corn are really growing.We also have small tomatoes on our plants. I planted Cushaw Squash this year. Thanks for teaching us a lot
Sounds great!
Thank you Tipper and Matt for the walk in the woods very nice stay safe .
Love your videos
Best channel on UA-cam
Wow, thanks!
My aunt used to use aluminum pie pans to scare crows off. Just put a string through them and hand them where they can make noise. It worked for her corn fields.
My granny and granddad had a storm shelter just outside their back door. It was also used as a root cellar lol..
thanks for all the videos i love them.
So glad you enjoy them 😊 Thank you!
Just today I was setting up drip hoses and lines on a timer for my flower garden. It's a bit of work but I know I will appreciate the ease of care this summer.
I Hear Sweet Binks..... 🐈 😺
Great video 😊
thank you 😊
I love deer steaks smoothed in gravy and onions with biscuits so good
Good to see you this evening. 🤗🥰🙏
Hope you have a great week Ramona 😊
Enjoyed the walk in the woods. Liked that Matt found that old arrow from so many years ago too. You know you do have a hill side that you could build a small hut in it. Maybe should have saved the trees you cut by the corn patch. I watch bushcraft videos of people that make log shelters in hills in the woods.
That would be neat 😊
Nice to see you both and spend a little time with you. We are expecting severe storms late tonight. And I'm like you Tipper I will sleep through it .
Thank you for visiting!
What a beautiful garden!!
Thank you 😊
