You are so kind thank you 😊

ANY DAY!

They are adorable 🥰

I agree....regular tv is nothing but reruns of reality tv - which is mostly stupid.

[@melrose795]

Absolutely!!❤

[@brianb.5473]

Tipper, my wife and I will watch as soon as we get home this evening from church. We enjoy all your videos. But we especially enjoy the Sunday evening ones where both you and Matt are in them.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😊

[@tracymcgrath1192]

Matt , it was in the 60s last night. Tonight lower. The heat’ll be back end of week. I wanted to yell hallelujah walking the dog at 2am. Fallish in Boston by the Sea. God bless y’all for doing that hard work. ❤❤

Ever since the Q and A with the girls where someone asked about Matt being so standoffish and them laughing about how clever and funny he really is, I can see it in yalls videos and I enjoy it so much. Yall are really cute together and your content is so wholesome and so welcome.

[@rachelfrees1268]

Two handsome folks. What a plentiful garden picking. I’m with Matt having tomato sandwiches everyday. We pray for Granny and her health.❤

[@arianahoule7223]

Sooooooooooo relaxing listening to the two of you. I love how you banter back and forth with a little silliness and lots of love. Sending loving and peace-filled thoughts to everyone.

[@highridgemom7899]

I loved listening to your stories especially the one about the window screens. Matt used his screen to go to the creek to pan for gold. Katy took her screen out so that she could throw stuff out and then shoot. When Matt said that she must take after your side of the family and you responded, I don't remember sifting for gold with any screens - I laughed out loud. You're a beautiful couple.

[@SeasonedCitizen]

I'm so envious of your peaches. Grew up next to a peach orchard and the gentleman farmer would leave a small basket of peaches early in the morning during the season for my breakfast. He also taught me to drive on his Farm All tractor and allowed me to roam free on his wooded acreage. He was very kind to a child that wasn't his responsibility. Now Mr. Tenny is part of my best memories.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love those memories!

[@hootyhoot590]

You all are so wonderful. You make me laugh and I've been so blessed to be able to can quite a bit this year. It's not been two years since my husband passed and watching you all really keeps me from being lonely. You all have really inspired me to get up and Get things done like I should.Thank you for being there.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad you enjoy visiting with us 😀

You two are really cool down to earth folks & humourous to boot! Thank you for your love you share together it's very heartwarming. Enjoy the sandwich & melon! Granny is in my prayers (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

It's been nice here in Ca. the last few days, but it's suppose to heat back up next week. Time changes things, I wish you and Matt still had the sounds of your childhood, but I'm glad you still have the sounds of summer. You all have a blessed week. Hope Granny's test goes well. ❤🙏

I never had the gold panning adventure but I used my Granny's window screen to sift dirt for my mud pies. No lumps. Needles to say , I had my outdoor kitchen shut down. Really enjoying your summertime videos.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 love that memory

[@swoodhaus]

You're exactly right, it is the hottest in my 66 years that I have ever experienced here in middle TN. We have had a couple of rain showers but that didn't help much. Your garden is looking so good! And the bounty of beans is wonderful. Prayers for Granny. Thanks for sharing Tipper!

[@mags102755]

You both make me so happy. The heat wave just broke up here in Massachusetts. It's deliciously cool. Matt has a great sense of humor and I enjoy it. Tipper, I know you know that I always enjoy your stuff. Those beans sure do look like a night's supper. Hugs and lots of love.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😊 glad you got some cooler weather!

[@sheilaholt6535]

I'd love to be sitting there breaking and shelling beans with you.

[@tonysteph]

Sending some cooling thoughts and prayers your way, Tipper and Matt. It's winter in Australia and we had a very cold morning here today. It warmed up around morning tea but it's cooling off again now at 2pm as I'm writing this. Thanks for another great video. Steph ❤

[@cindypye578]

That’s great you got so many beans. We’ve always raised Rattlesnake pole beans, even my grandparents. We love them. I don’t know why they’re called that, either. That peach cake sounds great! My favorite ice cream is peach. My Mama said they used to rehydrate dried apricots, lay them over the bottom of a pie crust, then pour egg custard pie filling over that and bake it. I think that would be good with peaches, too.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

That sounds so good!

[@christinemichael3291]

[@grandmaoldschool7011]

We grew up without AC and are soft now. My sister now admits that she sneaked down to the basement to sleep. I asked her why didn't she take me with her. Anyways, thank you for inviting us to your backyard chat!

[@mandabean.2405]

I can't stand cold! I rather sweat. I remember those days and to this day I still don't use AC... just a fan.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you for visiting with us!!

[@Rockhunter329]

I grew up in KS. I think it was around 1965 - 67 that we got a window AC unit. We had just a window fan before then. Without AC, I doubt towns like Houston and Phoenix would be as large as they are today.

[@esther_margolis]

we live in a hot climate, but in the mountains where it's usually cool at night. usually - but not this summer! anyway, we don't have a/c by choice, because I don't want to get so used to it that I can't manage without! (of course, where my kids live in the lower more humid areas you sure do need it).

[@rosaleacorle2854]

We enjoy watching you and Matt talking about your day. It is very interesting and enjoy seeing the harvest you picked for the day and know the hard work you did to get a nice harvest. It is very hot here in Kansas And hope to see cooler weather and a little rain. Take care and bless your family. You are a blessed family. How wonderful.!

Sounds great!

[@larryjefferson2146]

The heat in the old days didn’t seem as bad. We sat outside until dark and tried to sleep. I don’t think the feather beds allowed for much air. They were great in the winter! I’m in the process of making shuck beans from greasy beans for the first time. Usually use half runners! God bless you folks from Kentucky.

Hi! I just harvested a bunch of carrots I had planted in a grow bag on my back deck! I have a ton of yellow cherry tomatoes and I've spotted a Cherokee purple growing, I've had about half dozen of Cucumbers so far, potatoes will be ready to harvest in a week or so, strawberries are still producing, 2 little sugar baby water melons are on the vine...not bad for planting in bags on a deck 😊 we were under heat advisories 28th and 29th 97 degrees on thermometer however with humidity feel of 106-110😢 back in the 80s now. Still praying for granny❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

That is great 😊

[@patriciap8323]

I’m with Matt. I hate the hot summer heat!!!!! Praying all is well with Granny. God Bless!

[@keitheverhart9556]

Matt mentioned quail. When I was a kid grandpa's farm was quail central. But, I haven't seen any in years. But a couple of days ago we were sitting on the porch and I heard one call. A few minutes later he landed on our walk. He sat there until my dog saw him and chased him off. I don't know if someone near here is raising them or not. But I hope more come around.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

That is wonderful!!

[@bethgill3737]

My dad put in an attic fan in our house also when I was a teenager. I can relate to the sound of it and the suction of it. We opened a window at one end of the house, and at the other end of the house that would draw from both ends. I don’t know that it ever helped, lol. He finally had central heat and air put in a few years after👏🏻👏🏻😃

[@crownroast]

I’m new to your channel and I could just gush about your family and your values! This world would be a better place if this is how we were all living. Matt, we must be twins separated at birth because I absolutely abhor hot weather - it’s the worst! The. Worst. When it gets hot my husband tells me it’s time to put my cranky pants on😂♥️🇨🇦

[@Preciousaccordingto977]

Outhere in the foothills of Appalachia my favorite time of the year is fall. It cools off and the colors start to explode before the country goes to bed for the winter. I'd never had a favorite season until I moved here. It's just gorgeous. We have two huge flowering Bartlett pear trees that are the last to lose their leaves and they are the most brilliant red, they scream color!!

[@peggyreid6836]

Those peppers were so red and vibrant. And the squash seemed abundant. Peach cobbler is my second favorite cobbler. My very favorite is blackberry cobbler. Havent had a garden since 2015. Good to hear you're having a good crop. Greetings from North Carolina.

[@mikelwalters6505]

Hello matt and Tipper, looks like the Lord blessed y'all with a good harvest. Even though some vegetables dont do good as others, at times. My experience with gardening its not always 100% productive. I think the rattlesnake bean are my favorite they do seem to be bug resistant, yeah im done with marigolds too. They didn't deter bugs on my vegetables either. I just harvested all my summer crop a few weeks ago. Just planted my fall garden.planted more rattlesnakes beans, ms. plnkeye peas. And squash zucchini. I remember growing up without an air conditioner too, slept with the window open. Thank God for the A/C but I think it has made us soft. Always enjoy watching.Stay cool, and Happy gardening God bless.😅

[@Pembroke.]

Hopefully it gets a little cooler for you folks. Prayers and blessings to Granny.🙏

[@williambain2646]

Matt’s not the only one longing for Fall. It was brutal the last two days over here in Maryville. I’ve still got a few tomatoes coming in here and there. It’s been a terrible year for peppers for me. Everything has done terrible except my Serrano plants.

[@mandabean.2405]

I feel you're pain with saying anything... Your more south than I am in New England and my tomatoes do not want to become ripe with this heat and humidity 😫 I love the sunflowers! Those are huge!!! And marigolds especially work for tomatoes but you stagger a few in between rows, one at a time not bunched together.

[@LDHBees]

I grew up in Alabama and didn’t have air conditioning until I was 12 years old. We got a window unit and that first summer me, my sister and brother slept on pallets on the floor. We thought it was amazing. Before that it was screened windows and doors and big metal Electrolux fans at the foot of the bed. Our car had no A/C and we drove with the windows down, hanging our heads out the windows like dogs! Good memories when we were all a little tougher and adaptive than folks are now. Prayers for your sweet mama.

[@michaelmauro9335]

Here in Texas its 103 feels like 118. Cant wait until it gets in the 80s or low 90s 😅 who would of thunk hoping for low 90s temp.

Tipper is mild. Watching her reminds me to slow down and enjoy life. She recognizes and acknowledges so many of the precious things we miss in the hustle of a busy life. Made it to the end of the video and I loved the "stick with what you know" comment. My late husband would have said the same thing. Made me laugh. Thanks for sharing that.

Such a beautiful, plentiful harvest. I plant cosmos every year. I have the magenta, light pink and white. Do you ever plant snapdragons? They were my dad's favorite. My sister and I made pepper jelly. It's so good on a bagel with cream cheese.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

It’s been a long time since I planted them 😀

We don’t get any relief from the heat until November. I’ve lived in Georgia all of my life and we use to have a nice Fall, but now we go from Summer to Winter.

[@donnahawkinsharper8344]

Hey y’all, listening to you talk about the grouse & the quail made me think of when I was young in Florida, we had so many quail. Then they started to disappear. The University of Florida did a study & found that when the fire ants started invading Florida the quail began to disappear. They nest on the ground & the ants would attack the babies & it would kill them. I remember they use to fly planes over our neighborhood & drop these pellets that was supposed to kill fire ants. Well all it did was make them more resistant. They are such a nuisance. I’ve never seen fire ants up here, but wonder if maybe something like that caused the quail to slowly disappear. I miss the sound of a Bob white. 😊❤😊🙏 oh prayers for Granny. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I did just have the thought that you're very near to the only part of the US that has naturally occurring venus fly traps. I suspect if you planted some you would have to tend to yours a bit more than nature might, but they would cut down on _some_ amount of insects if you laid them out strategically. They're also just fascinating plants.

[@shirleydenton4747]

I am in agreement with Matt on the pepper jelly. I got the recipe from your blog several,years ago. I am always too impatient to wait until the peppers ripen into different colors, so only make green pepper jelly. I got foundered on jelly growing up, but the pepper jelly has such a unique flavor. Great with cream cheese and crackers. I must try those rattlesnake beans. Your enthusiasm is catching.

Thank you Shirley 😀

My mom grew up in a big family and they had an attic fan that was a kind they put in a window. Huge metal looking thing. It would cool off every room in the house except for the room the fan was in. They put it in my moms room and she would bring that up to her siblings for the rest of her life 😁.

I remember those days without air conditioning! My parents didn't get air conditioning until after I moved away from home. They had one of those big attic fans, too and to me it sounded like an airplane taking off! I don't know how we stood it now after I've had air conditioning for so long. I guess we were just used to it. I love Matt's stories about his childhood, they're hilarious! I bet they weren't funny to his Momma and Daddy at the time! Praying for Granny. 😆

I live in Oklahoma and grew up here. I am 58, but have never lived without A/C. It’s so hot here, I can’t imagine not having it. I’m definitely soft. I have never even lived without a dishwasher. I watch The Millennial Gardener. He is based in South Carolina and is also dealing with the heat wave. The other day he said “Its hotter than a billy goat with a blow torch “. That struck me as so funny. My Mom used to say “hotter than Hades”. It looks like the heat is going to be with us a while.

Matt, I saw something unusual this past week. I Was looking out my dining room window and a Quail was walking through my yard! I knew they were fairly close because their call was so loud but I never dreamed they were right by my house! Praying for Granny! ❤

I just love watching your videos when you're either picking from your garden and or questions. You and Matt just seem so calm and relaxed and blend together so well. I love your energies!❤❤
