Tipper n family I don't know why but KZbin has not been allowing me to use the like button on your videos ?? Has anyone else had this happen n how to fix it 🤔

[@eddie4986]

I’ve lived in Ohio for 50 year’s or so and have raised 3 Children here with my wife of 36 years, your videos take me back to my raising in South Eastern Kentucky with all the gardening y’all do and the meals Tipper makes it all just warms my heart.. Keep up the good work and hang in there Matt Lol.. 😂

@@tcmomcoffey4028 Oh goodness that isn't good. I haven't heard of anyone else having trouble. Hopefully it's a temporary glitch and will fix itself. Thank you for trying!! We appreciate you 😊

I am ready to be eating cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers hot or sweet, potatoes, oh my how good it will be.

[@melisagraham587]

When you told Matt to ride his tractor home it reminded me of memory from the 80’s. Southern small town eccentric life. In our town of about 300, we had a couple that were so fun!!!! His name was Commodore and her name was Josephine. He didn’t have a car or truck but he did have an old tractor so when they came to town he pulled a wagon with his tractor and she rode in the wagon, singing all the way. No one thought a thing about it. Bless them!!!! Nothing beats southern rural life!!!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love that 😊

[@sallylapradd2900]

From MI here, and I want to say you have a wonderful vocabulary. I really enjoy your stories.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Wow, thank you!

[@larlar8580]

Years ago, my husband and I planted corn in a field a little bigger than that…I could hardly walk the next day!!! It grew beautifully until we had a bad wind storm, and it laid the corn down…we were devastated. Then, if by magic, it righted itself in about 24 hours and we didn’t lose a stalk!! We had quite the harvest for freezing🌻 I’ll never forget that summer❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for sharing your experience!!

[@mamawfrancy]

We've been devastated several years too & the magic of the sun drew it back up.

[@txsjohnny]

Mother Nature is so amazing to me! 😮❤

[@lindawiley878]

That noise of the loud creek would drive me crazy, but I guess it’s what you get used to to. I hope your corn does great .

[@auntdello5286]

Id prefer creek noises over what have here! We live on an acre parcel 1/4 mile from RR tracks, and a freeway overpass.​@lindawiley878

[@debbieepperly3821]

I really miss the big garden momma & daddy had every year. Momma was 37 when I was born, but they still had the huge garden til after I got married (I'm youngest of 4 & soon to be 66 yrs old!) I remember helping them can & put stuff up in the freezer. After they got older, they still had a garden, just not as big, maybe a third of the old one. May 21st made 20 yrs daddy's been in heaven. I've been a widow now for almost 3 months. It's still very hard. I love getting to see y'all garden and spend time together. Thats what a good life is all about! May God bless y'all with a wonderful bounty from all the gardens & another precious grandson very soon! Love & blessings from VA! ❤️‍🩹🙏🥪🍅🥕🌽🥔🍓🥒🫒🌶🧅

Bless you Debbie!! I've been praying for you and thinking of you. I will continue to do both!!

[@sandysmith8567]

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Hang in there. Sending blessings and prayers.

[@ShelleyClott]

I’m so excited for you all to have this huge space to grow your corn in. I pray your corn works out for you this year. It’d be so nice just to have your own right there to enjoy any time you want it. The creek is so beautiful. What a magical thing it’s been for everybody in so many individually different ways. Your whole place feels magical to me, and I am so grateful that you all share it with us here. I feel like I can sort of have a little taste of that magical peace too. Thank you for that gift. It makes a difference in my life in a very real way now that I am in this dang old wheelchair and can’t get out and be in nature like I used to. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Be well & take care.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I'm so glad you enjoy what we do!! Thank you so much 😊

Seeing Matt work his garden makes me homesick for ,my childhood days with Daddy doing as Matt is doing . Daddys favorite corn was all so Silver Queen. Love all u do sharing your lives with us

Love too see Tipper and Matt work the Garden.I know it’s hard work.My husband Would never let me work in the garden.He always said it was his garden.lol❤❤❤❤

[@linnieknight4595]

Such precious memories of working in Pap's corn field, must make you sense him there with you. I love Matt's sentimental gesture of going to get Pap's tiller to work the rows. Gardening is a special thing that connects us to those we loved and who have gone on before. ❤

[@mammymurraysmusings7788]

I haven’t grown corn in about 7 years. I'm a fellow KZbinr, I would appreciate it if y'all would keep my oldest daughter Jessica and her family in your prayers. They live in Arkansas and a tornado went through their area last Saturday and it destroyed their home. Three huge trees fell on and into their house. It will be a total loss because of structural damage, praise the Lord they were not home. A beam from the ceiling went through my grandson’s bed. Thank you!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I'm so sorry! I will pray for Jessica and her family.

[@lindamcgee3651]

I know y'all are excited about getting back in Pap's garden, planting corn 🌽 after years gone by. I'm sure Granny is happy to see it growing crops again. I always worked side by side with my husband. I used to say I worked like a man years ago. Using the tiller, working on cars, running saws... I still work hard, just not like that anymore. Y'all have a wonderful evening. Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕👣👣

Nothing better than sweet corn at a summer dinner. We almost treated it like dessert.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

It’s so good 😊

[@gracelandone]

I went to college in Iowa. We would get the water boiling then cross the highway, pick the corn, shuck it while walking back, drop it in the water for 3 minutes, then get an actual taste of Heaven. Y’all are all set to do it.

[@cherrihenderson1376]

This video brings back so many wonderful memories of my Papa Gene (grandfather) he kept a dipper in a tree by the "crick" to drink from. That was the BEST water

Matt & Tipper are happiest staying busy doing what they love to do and I appreciate & admire how they take so much pride in ALL they do. Was happy Matt decided to get Pap's tiller which did save him time & hopefully better for his back too. He had more time for his & Tipper's garden side chat. Wishing you a bountiful season. God Bless & Love Y'all.

[@AuntMaryNC]

You all have really expanded the size of your garden through the last several years. The corn field is looking good. I love the talk about the hope and prayers that are perpetually in the heart of gardeners. Here's to a bountiful harvest.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thanks so much

[@laddieokelley6095]

Can't wait to see the corn 3' tall and waving in the wind. A farmer in a nearby community years ago planted acres of corn and set up an honor stand on the highway. That was designated for his kids' college fund and they're now graduated. His corn is ready in June and people for miles around can hardly wait for it. We hope he continues growing corn.

[@buzsalmon]

TIPPER I AM VERY HAPPY YOU AND MATT ARE GROWING 🌽!

[@Cathy-c1b]

That Poplar tree has the shape of a heart in it.

[@Psalmonetwentyone]

Y'all will love that wonderful corn!🌽 So happy for you to have the space again with your children and grandbabies surrounding you. Tipper, you and Matt have followed Granny and Pap's example of hard work and love of family so well. You have a beautiful life and lifestyle and I know you are grateful to the Lord for His blessings😀

[@lilitharam44]

God Bless y'all both! Nobody realizes what at workout a garden can be unless they've actually had to run a tiller or hoe the rows. It's amazing how tired you can get and the new muscles you can find that you didn't know you had! Lol! My Granddaddy had a big garden and I remember him using the old tractor and the tiller on it and everyone else out there hoeing it behind him. To keep the deer out of his big garden, he planted a pea patch on away from the garden and half tended it for the deer to eat. It helped keep them away from our garden! Ms. Tipper, the easiest tool my Great Grandma had to work with was a hoe that a friend had cut the blade of it where it was in a point shape, like a triangle. It was small, pointed, and very accurate. Maybe you can have someone make you one like that. Sending y'all Love and Best wishes from Memphis!~

[@sarab8084]

I could listen to the sound of the creek all day! I can't wait to see how the corn does for you :)

[@JoFields-mh2ze]

We had a creek just like that in behind my gr Andra’s house. I loved it. We would see minnows in there, all the time! If it came a big rain, it would flood the back yard!!!!

[@hannahyoung3533]

As an Iowa girl, there is nothing better than sweet summer corn- drenched in butter with a little bit of salt- so good! My cousin grows a huge patch of sweet corn on our farm among the acres and acres of feed corn he plants. We put up corn every summer and enjoy it all winter long! Enjoy!! Do you have problems with deer and racoon? One year a herd of deer wiped out all our sweet corn overnight and that was with electric fence...so sad!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

It is so good!! We have several dogs in the holler that help keep them at bay 😊

[@saner6888]

You could make a little shade gazebo that could double as an outdoor kitchen. Can’t wait to see it grown🥰

[@OkieJammer2736]

Wise man you are in getting that workhorse of a tiller. They don't make that kind of quality these days. With tools like that plus your beautiful tractor, it makes work a pleasure ... oh ... maybe that's not the best word. 😊

I bet Paps would be proud yall have got his & Granny's garden broke back up & planted. It has to be a great feeling to be able to plow & drop seeds where your dad once did and hopefully, God willing have a bountiful harvest. To me the free flowing creek would really be a motivation for working the garden, with a peaceful sedifaction also. What a blessing.God is Good. Happy farming. Great video. I wish I could have personally meet and knowed Paps & his inspirational God pleasing music in person. I feel sure I'll meet him in Glory one day. God bless you all at Wilson Holler. Hello & Prayers for & to Granny. Would love to here her talk again, Good Lord willing. I understand if she is not able. Her & Paul singing is TOPS.&Blessing. THKS.

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

I'm happy to see the corn doing well. I know you are excited to be back in the "big" garden again. Hopefully the critters will leave it alone. As far as using fertilizer if you want, Justin comes to mind. "The best way to do things is the way you like to do it".

Such a beautiful spot for the garden, by the creek. I always think gardening and preparing and preserving the food is a spiritual thing. You see God's hand everywhere. I was taught to use, preserve, and share the bounty, and those things we preserve, grow, or hunted taste so good on a cold winter day. God bless.

[@SueMorris-f4s]

Gardening is hard work. Both of you are hard workers.

[@rolandpinette9946]

We don't have much experience growing corn due to lack of space, but we do plant a small block of it. We go from "farm to table" in 20 minutes, just for the thrill of eating it minutes after harvest. You can't buy that at the supermarket, or the farmer's market! Best wishes for a bountiful harvest of corn!

[@norencenelson8111]

Had our first corn on the cob for supper tonight. It was decent, but not like right out of the field. We have a condo now and we sure miss the garden we had 5 years ago. We now have a few tomatoes in planting bags on the patio and they look good. Bush varieties seem to work best in bags. They were out of the Cherokee Purples at the green house. We did get the last German Johnson they had. Love y'all.

Y'all have that field looking really good. What a great day it will be when you have the fresh tomatoes and fresh corn together and beans too! Yes, you all need a gazebo out there, a big picnic table for sure! The tractor is all kinds of handy! We kept my dad's tiller which was a Craftsman - that was his go-to/favorite in tools. We don't really get to use it much, but we are keeping it. It's been a while but it did work the last time we used it.

[@donishaweir2574]

We have a small garden but our saving grace is that we skip every other row in our planting. And we use our tractor and tiller to keep clean between the rows. It’s like the tiller of yours that Matt used to break up the ground. Your rows almost look far enough apart to do that now. We also found a homemade plow attachment for the three point hitch that helps. Let that tractor do the work for you.

[@DancingWatersAnCoFOB]

I agree 💯% with you Matt about them not making things like they used to make them. I just had to replace my washer of 14 years. I paid twice as much for the washer alone than I did for the washer and dryer 14 years ago. I am certain that this double priced washer won't last 14 years. Sigh...and they call that progress?

[@ixchelkali]

Maybe instead of a gazebo, you could build/plant a grape arbor? It would provide nice green shade and fruit, too. The house my parents built, where we lived until I was six, had a grape arbor and it was lovely, especially when the grapes were ripe.
