Making a Garden in Appalachia - August Garden Tour 2022

[@vickiivins3288]

I can’t speak for others, but these videos make feel like I’m part of a family. It’s a very comforting relaxing time for me watching your videos.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I'm so glad!

[@lorchid23]

So many folks have now begun to truly appreciate the importance of the self-reliance that comes from planting your own garden, there’s no doubt that your honest, thorough and calming garden tours have been indispensable to so many, Tipper! 💯🇺🇸❣️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind-thank you for those encouraging words 😀

[@kelleyg7421]

I love your tours around the garden because they’re very inspirational. I’m frequently amazed that you don’t seem to be affected by mosquitoes when you’re talking to us from a shady area. If I pause in a shady area of my yard in Minnesota, mosquitos make it uncomfortable.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you!! Thankfully they don't bother me 😀 Chiggers do though!

[@farrahwalters22]

same!! 😂 she never swats at anything. i'm in central arkansas and i put a bat house up for this very reason! i hate mosquitoes! yuck!

[@virginiamesko6369]

Aren't mosquitoes Minnesota's state bird?

[@johnnabuzby6103]

@@virginiamesko6369 They're the state "bird" of North Carolina [our actual state bird is the Cardinal] and a lot of other states in the Union. Hello from the eastern side of North Carolina.

[@johnnabuzby6103]

@@CelebratingAppalachia Tipper, I'm in love with those reddish gold sunflowers! They're such an unusual and beautiful color. Such a nice patio set you've got in your yard. Your garden is a sight to behold, thanks for the tours throughout the growing season. Wishing you a belated happy birthday from your "friend you haven't met yet"- -Johnna here in New Bern, NC. Keep up the great content and God bless y'all. P.S. I've been sharing your videos about gardening and Appalachian food ways with my youngest son Andrew as a good resource for him and his wife Jocelyn to go by when they're ready and able to make a homestead/family compound in the mountains of our great state of North Carolina. They want to be as off the grid and self sufficient as possible, so I've been letting them know about what y'all plant, succession planting, how you preserve foods, etc and strongly advised them to get a wood stove for their future home so they'll always have heat and something to cook on when the power goes out. Right now, he's in the Marines, about to be promoted to Sergeant [E-5] and they own a home in Beaufort, SC, but they're gonna get to Appalachia as quick as they can!

[@gardengrowinmawmaw8642]

What a beautiful garden this late in the season. You have been so blessed. Those "marigolds" look like cosmos to me.

[@garybrunet6346]

Thank you for the tour. I really enjoy watching the evolution of your gardens! 😊🇨🇦!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

My pleasure 😊

[@kebirmaliki]

Good morning Appalachian princess , to you and your daughters ,from the Kingdom of Morocco .. have fun .

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😀 Hope you had a great day!

[@stevieray7203]

What an abundance! 🙌🏻 I hope in the years to come we have such a garden. Raining so much, but it is better than the fires we had earlier in the year 🙏🏻

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I hope so too!

[@comiketiger]

God bless all here .

[@lianawelch5852]

I loved the tour through the garden, your chickens made me laugh so hard, you made my day🦋thank you for sharing your time and wisdom ☮️

[@erinnola-raised6543]

So true. It’s called Fishing, not catching. It’s called Gardening, not harvesting. Thank goodness both ‘tasks’ bring joy, regardless of what arrives at table

[@dipstick5869]

As a young boy I remember helping my dad in the gardens. We tried to grow several different varieties of this and that like y'all do. It was exciting to see which one's did the best and lasted the longest.

[@cindyinpcola]

What a lovely garden! Very much enjoyed the tour and wonderful stories along the way!

[@Grammysgarden]

This was a wonderful video. I love seeing others gardens, and yours has flourished. Mine is two raised beds and numerous grow bags. Seeing how your “ new ground” is inspiring. I watch you and your family get that ground ready and was curious to see how it would work. There’s a beauty in your videos and an authenticity that draws me to it daily.

[@swoodhaus]

I am happy for you to be able to stay home and work! Loved the tour of the garden. Just canned green beans and tomatoes! Love doing that kind of stuff! Thank you Tipper!

[@annwitzel9630]

On another note , I just watched the Gosh Griggs video , I was very impressed , the more he talked the more I enjoyed it .

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hope4serenitykm]

My paternal family is from Appalachia and your videos always remind me of my grandmother’s stories. I love gardening, I think it’s just in my blood.I enjoyed seeing your garden.

[@rebeccabsomanybooks3558]

Love your garden tour. I gauge where my garden needs to be after listening to your progress. It truly is a labor of love. TFS.

[@stefaniephillips4013]

My favorite part about your beautiful garden are the sounds. Love listening to all the living creatures making their own symphony. You are so fortunate to hear that whenever you want! ♥️

[@donnakhammer1449]

Marigolds are good at repelling pests..... excellent planted amongst your vegetables 😎

[@samfinn487]

Love your little "accidental" sitting area. Some of the best things in life happen unplanned. God bless.

[@judymartius7779]

I love hearing your chickens. Reminds me of my younger years.

[@ellennoblitt7728]

Beautiful! Now I need to get busy. My dad and I used to garden together. I miss him so and this has brought me happy memories!

[@dixiebagsbydixie7809]

I also love the little buds on zinnias! I remember walking around with my sister and grandmother and being so excited to see them and trying to guess what color they were going to be when they bloomed out. We helped pull weeds from the beds and she would tell us about her mother's flowers. We would help gather the seeds from her many types of flowers in the fall. They went into envelopes to save for the next year. I don't ever remember her labeling anything she knew what they were. Flowers of any kind always remind me of her. I have the tall flocks in my garden that came from a start that she gave me 30 years ago. I also have the short ones which we call creeping flocks. I have always had a great love for all flowers. As I have gotten older I have often wondered if it's because they are so amazing or if it's the fact that they are so intertwined with memories of my amazing grandmother.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Maybe a little of both 😀

[@jasonrichards3785]

Wonderful garden tour. I'm finishing canning some beans from the garden as I watch this. Tonight for supper, we had baked okra, tomatoes, zipper cream peas, green beans, apple sauce, and BBQ pork chops. All the veggies came from the garden as did the apples.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Sound so good 😀

[@caroldurusau2866]

Pinkeye purple hulls are something I have eaten all my life. My dad grew them and I grow them.

[@kimberlyking9947]

its always so nice to get to take a garden tour with ya. them cushaw's look amazing. I can see a small fire pit and a couple string of solar lights for a cozy fall setting area. my pumpkins did not do anything, they vined out so pretty and had huge blooms but no pumpkins. I am guessing they just didnt get pollinated. Gonna plant lots of flowers next year in hopes of attracting bees. Happy Happy belated Birthday Tipper!!

[@celtprincess13]

My grandma always had zinnias in front of her house, so I have always loved them too. It's nice to see how well your garden has done (possibly the cabbage excepted, LOL), I know how much work you and Matt put into it.

[@rhondajo3]

We all need hope in our lives. Thank you for your Hope!😍

[@michaelbriggsbfn1130]

I enjoyed your garden tour. Out of all the channels I watch, your's is my favorite for many reasons. You and your family are so kind spirited. When I watch I am always left with a warm feeling in my heart. You and your family are such lovely people. You feel like family. God bless you sister Tipper.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for the kind encouraging words 😀

[@diannedutton6127]

I'm so happy you have the time to enjoy your garden Tipper. You don't have to stress over finding the time to put the vegs up.

[@cindypressley4285]

Your garden is amazing, I just love it! You have no garden space, but you didn't let that stop you. You have made your yard a wonderland! I am so impressed with all you produce in your limited space. You go girl!

[@Bullseye120]

The Garden looks great! You all have done a blessed job cultivating it. I would like to see a video of how you compost all your trimmings and bio mass. Thanks again for sharing.

What a wonderful garden tour, thank you Tipper.

[@gregcrawley2668]

Such beautiful gardens and I could sit on that bench and listen to the chickens all day long.

[@kb6lcw99]

God Bless you all!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for watching 😀

[@ChopChic1]

A quick tip for you-- if you allow a cucumber to fully mature on the vine for seed saving, the vine will die shortly after. The whole goal of the vine is to produce a viable mature fruit that will continue reproducing, so once you allow one to fully mature, the plant thinks it's job is done and begins to die. Because of this fact, I only seed save at the very end of the season to ensure continued harvest.

[@triciaingram7610]

I have heard to not miss one cucumber or the plant will start shutting down.

[@Ohpnuts]

Thank you for the tour of your garden , tell Clover we enjoy hearing her lolo hugs patsy

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😀

[@werocktheplanet]

I know your cabbage is going to be GREAT!

[@sonyafox3271]

My grandma had a may paw bush on the side of her house and, but, I think, I may have tried it once. I always like making a special trip to near by green houses to pick out flowers and, wherever, I lived, I always made a plan in my head how,I wanted my flowers arranged and,if there was room,I always liked having a flower bed. But, this one place, I lived not long after, I went to the greenhouse and got all my flowers picked out for the front yard, and, not long after, I got them planted well,it was the opposite of a drought, too much rain, it done this 3 yrs in a row where, I lost my flowers. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing you beautiful garden with us Tipper,God bless!

[@jenniebaird2994]

Thank you so very much for sharing your garden. I love how natural and "unfancy" it is. We here in East Tennessee at the foot of the Smokies are having rain every day, but our gardens continue to thrive. Keep on doing what you're doing and God bless.

y'all so much for so many . thanks and blessings for everyone .

,I got a big hoot when Matt said he wasn't drinking the banana tea 😛 Loved your video very interesting.

I loved hearing the morning dove there.

[@pamelab5480]

I really love your channel because I can rewatch old summers and other seasons with the garden and then this year I get to watch you start from scratch and I’m so excited I can’t wait for spring and summer and fall 2023 on your channel!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😀 so glad you enjoy our videos!!

Love that little sitting area!👍🥰

[@phylliswild4277]

I planted Zipper Cream Peas this year and love them! Will definitely plant more next year, but think I’ll let them climb a trellis. Would love to have enough to freeze some. Really enjoying your channel! ❤️

[@derrynanderson1781]

Passion fruit are divine, the most exquisite flower ever. I like to make curd or syrup with mine. Although sometimes with the seeds I feel like I’m crunching on beetles. Ha! Clover is the loudest chook I’ve ever heard!! Beautiful garden 🌱💫

[@timfarris6801]

I really love planting okra and Kentucky snap beans and squash ad new potatoes

[@janetlavoie2441]

My garden is just starting to produce. I have been watching you harvesting and have been a bit jealous ! Picked my first cucumber today.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Yay for the first cucumber 😀

[@nickik.9037]

Every year when we've planted cabbage they always get infested with bugs. Seems like they can eat a whole cabbage patch overnight. I want more tomato plants next year & some potatoes & herbs & peppers. I don't want anymore cabbage! I love that orange sunflower & all your flowers scattered throughout. Hugs!

[@annadams436]

From Alabama; I really enjoyed this (and all others) video. The garden is magical and brings back so many wonderful memories. My favorite flower is the zinnia as well.

[@keithmoore7948]

Your a good gardener Tipper.🙏

[@carrollleopard1961]

Love this video. It reminds me of my Grandparents farm. Chickens clucking sounds great. May pops grew everywhere on the road shoulders at their house. They lived on a dirt road. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@tammyreichert3636]

Matt, Tipper - Your garden is a masterpiece!!!!! Thank you for sharing :)

[@thomashutto9585]

What a wonderful Lady! Tipper, you have a beautiful family. Simple life! Harley Allen wrote the song. Look it up.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you, I will 😀

[@johncconnolly1]

This was great. Your content is very calming to me. Not to get too high tech, but a drone look at your place would be very enlightening to see how your property is laid out. Well done.

[@brianazmy3156]

Another amazing video as always. Gardening is hands down my favorite activities. I think the marigolds are responsible for the lack of deer which like to munch on lots of your plants. I read that in the FARMERS ALMANAC some years ago. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your story.

[@rhondadean5455]

Yes dear I love old maids too. Sure are pretty

I love your garden! And listening to you talk is so interesting and calming. Keep up the good work, and also teaching us so much! Love from Georgia.

[@Mntdewmania1]

Would you do a video about Purslane? I doubt most ppl know what it is. It's so good to see a younger generation making Tinctures and knowing plants and what they can do for us!! This is my first year planting late tomatoes to and I used a sucker as well.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Such a fabulously impressive garden. As usual it was also very inspiring. Love the thought of the ground cherry bringing back the memory of your granny encouraging you to eat one when you were a little one. What a beautiful memory 💗 Thanks again for sharing.

[@cheryllamb8831]

Enjoyed the garden tour. My beans have those little yellow fuzzy bugs too! Looked them up & they are a mexican bean beetle. A few made it in the house with my beans & I put them on a paper towel, well one stood up and started to travel. It was cute, like a minut hedgehog, all the "hairs" on it's back stood up straight. They, however; have devastated my beans & some of my spaghetti squash. I like your little sitting area too. Nice to have a place to rest, visit, view the yard & garden. I love all the flowers. Thank you.

[@gailsears2913]

I've never eaten maypops, but enjoy looking at passion flowers on the roadside. I had some wild ground cherries come up in my garden bed a few years ago. It wasn't any good for eating, but I've had a few cultivated ones from the store. Those wild ones are keep coming back and can get big in a hurry. Lovely garden you have!

[@nightfallhomestead670]

I plant all summer. I just planted carrots and beets and Zucchini yesterday. I'm not in Appalachia (I wish 😭) we are in Iowa. We are actually canning and preserving lots of stuff on our channel right now too. my first year every having ground cherries!!

Loved your having to compete with Clover to get a word in edgewise. Thank you for the tour. Each year is a learning experience.
