Making a Garden in Appalachia - First Fall Garden Tour 2022

[@barnescsp]

You bring back so many great memories of my Tennessee family. My Grandmothers kitchen and my Grandfather's garden and orchard. Thank you. I miss them so much.

[@phillipgreene2564]

Well... that garden and those trees still look crazy green...

[@jamesparham1467]

Thanks for helping the rest of us Thank you for the garden tour,

[@melissafoster1228]

You’re garden has come along so well. All that hard work is sure paying off Tipper. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good morning Celebrating Appalachia. Thanks for the garden tour.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thanks for coming 😀

[@keithmoore7948]

Thank you Tipper.🙏

[@donnahanson7282]

Thank you for the tour! My grandparents moved from Cocke County to Missouri around 1915...everything I know about gardening came from those Appalachian roots.

[@c103110a]

This is my favorite time to go riding my dirt bike in the mountains. The wildflowers are blooming everywhere and the buttterflies and bees are everywhere. My favorite time of the year. I just grow spinach and lettuce in the fall.

[@lisalooney2681]

I love you & all that you share of Appalachia!! You're a lovely example for All! Thank you for sharing all of your beauty! I love the camera shots that you share, I get to see the Mountains & All of their Beauty, as well as i learn from your wealth of knowledge in the kitchen & in the garden. Thank you! God's Speed only!

[@bigredohio]

Thank you for sharing your garden. 🌹

[@StMyles]

Thanks for sharing your adventures and culture of the people of your area of Appalachia. Hope you realize that you will be a Legacy of knowledge that future generations can reflect and reference from. 👍🏼

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind! Thank you for the encouraging word and the support!! Hope you have a wonderful week 😀

[@amandag1329]

Watching this on a little break from work, during a really trying day. I started the video, feeling sad and defeated and so down. Just midway through it, I wanted to pause and tell you- thank you so much Tipper. You are so soothing and calming to us all. ❤️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Hope tomorrow is a better day!! 😀

[@Ohpnuts]

Loved your tour , you have a lot of land . When I was growing up in California we lived in Southern California we were raise on a ranch with five acres, we were middleclass and my parents had a very large garden and all us girls 6 of us had to tent to it . Then my parents died in 2003 and 2014 and the only ones alive is 3 sisters and we live in New Jersey and 1 lives in Mississippi. Thank you so much for your channel God Bless

[@rosehunt9640]

We're kindred spirits. I notice rain drops on leaves and water drops shining on different things.They change colors if you move a little or the wind blows softly. I watch dew drops sparkling. I call them lights, like Christmas lights, and watch them change colors when they move or I move back n forth. I love things that sparkle. I was told by quite a few people that they love that about me.I have Larry doing that now. We also see shapes of things in leaves, trees, rocks, etc....such as dogs, faces of people, etc....It's so cool.

[@rosehunt9640]

I could sit on your porch swing all day and read a good book. lol. Yourt place is like home.

[@marthaanthis3980]

So pretty! Makes me hungry…lol!

[@slinginlead6647]

Thank you !! 👍👍

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Our pleasure!

[@benlaw4647]

Thanks for the tour of the fall garden tipper ! Enjoyed this ! Looking forward to the autumn colors coming soon ...God bless y'all...🙏❤

[@sherikellyblair2262]

Thank you for sharing your garden with us. It’s a highlight of my day❤️

[@solinina6708]

I am amazed about the arc of spinach ! I never knew it can grow like that ! Your garden is so beautiful and your ongoing grooming of it & all efforts really show! So neatly groomed ! Ty for all your knowledge !❤️🙏🏻

[@ragheadand420roll]

Thank you 🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@JenInTN]

I adore how you can take notice of the tiniest thing. I am good at appreciating the beauty I see but I aspire to look closer like you do when you notice little rain drops on petals sparkling like diamonds.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 You are so kind-thank you!!

[@keeptrying5962]

Very much agree. 🙌🏼

[@pvjohnson52]

I love fried green tomatoes. Here in Georgia, green tomatoes are sold in grocery stores year round. Now I can enjoy fried green tomatoes all year round ,different than it was when I was raised in Kentucky we only got them in the fall.

[@robynclarke5274]

You could plant companion plants with the kale in case its not rabbits such as beets, celery cucumber, lettuce onion, peas or potatoes. Thanks for tour, I just love your gardens including listening to you narate.

[@lindahays8444]

I love your garden. I love your garden tours. I'm living my gardening vicariously through you lol.

[@shelleylamb7087]

I enjoy watching your videos. You are very blessed to have a garden that does so well.

[@cindypressley4285]

That was a wonderful tour through your fall garden, and it is amazing the number of things you have growing that will go right into fall and winter. Tipper, it's like these plants are all old friends of yours or maybe you are their mother and you have nurtured them to adulthood. It is so obvious that you love the garden, and you care for every single plant! You are pretty amazing!!

[@judyking4930]

Love your mountain home and gardens.

[@lindamoses5932]

Loved it! ❤️

[@solinina6708]

Your garden looks great and so meticulously groomed ! ❤️🙏🏻

[@lindamatthews1160]

At the end of this video you talked about what happens to the Malabar Spinach when the fall frost hits it. I am sure you know that it can be frozen if you like. You would pick and clean it. Then blanch it for 1 minute. Lay it out on towels to dry. Then pack into bags or boxes and freeze. I have done this with ordinary spinach. I mostly used it in minestrone soup or in spinach pie. Neither of these dishes are typical of Appalachia. I never tried to make creamed spinach with it. Watching your videos makes me happy--keeps me from being depressed. Remember that when we are born, we begin the inexorable journey toward death. After death comes new birth. Bless you.

[@OurSmallTownLife]

Such a beautiful space! Sending love from another southern Appalachian 😍

[@iartistdotme]

Your garden is still so nice - productive till the end.

[@chrissiewalker8980]

Lovely and I am green with envy xx

[@robinchanteusedylan8326]

Thanks for this late, late summer garden tour! Glad to see your Celebrity tomatoes are producing. Fried green tomatoes aren't too hard to fix, but maybe you can put that in a video so we can see how you do yours. 😀 Tommy Toes are so good. Sweet 100s are delightful. Water drops on petals & leaves are so pretty. That's one pretty pumpkin that Chambers Creek. You can never have too much okrey. 😃

[@shelleygiesbrecht4759]

Thank you for the garden tour, you live in such a beautiful place. I think it’s wonderful that you can plant a fall garden, where I live in Canada it is harvest time and a race to get everything harvested before the first frost. Fall is my favorite season, with the coolness after the heat of summer, and all of the beautiful fall colors. It’s time here to prepare the garden for winter and to wait for that first hard frost, then it’s rosehip picking time. God bless!

[@his-sweetie]

Thank you for the lovely share. Your garden is still very beautiful. Praise The FATHER. I understand what you mean about the late late summer right before fall. It has been an odd year for growing, but there is always next year.

[@robinmilam6444]

I'm amazed by all the different things ya'll eat! Most of the things you grow I have never even heard of, let alone would eat. Lol, I'm not a veggie eater. But I enjoy watching you enjoy your garden! Wish I had your green thumb!

[@pattivanderhart2221]

I also have to say how much I love and look forward to your videos. They are so relaxing because you can tell you and your family love what you all do even though it is alot of work. You're not "working for the man." 🤣 I am working a ft job and have 2 pt jobs so it is a real treat when I get to get into the garden or put up anything.

[@scottclay4253]

Thank you Tipper. I love you two and your lovely daughters. You have blessed them and you now bless us.

[@relax2dream164]

Enjoyable vlog as usual. I’m sorry fall makes you feel sad, it’s one of my favourite seasons in all it’s glory.❤️🇨🇦

[@solinina6708]

The cocoa nut shells make your garden smell like Chocolate !The peanut shells smell like all yummy peanuts ! I love the smell !❤️

[@fifeohfarmingnstuff4416]

Kiddie Pools make great planters, I got a Big Kiddie Pool for my Compost Pile. Time to get my turnips, radishes, n Beets in the ground. Also some carrots n Cabbages. Still getting mo plenty Okrie, n my Amaranth is doing good as well as my Sweet taters...

[@cheri3434]

Thanks for sharing!. You might try dehydrating your little yellow cherry tomatoes. I dehydrate my yellow cherry tomatoes and they are so sweet. My grandson loves them and he won’t touch a fresh tomato. I cut them in half and lay face down . They take about 20 hrs. Since yours are tiny you might either try to leave them whole or pierce a couple of spots with a needle so they dry faster.

[@paulmoss7940]

My muscadines and granny smith are coming. Persimmons. And fish and game to harvest now !

[@Wormfish]

So happy to have found your channel. Even though I live up here in NH much of the way you do things is how I was taught as a young girl. Especially making grape jelly using the cone sieve and pestle! That is how I learned to make it and also was taught to invert jars as you do! Please keep doing what you are doing! This channel is a gem to me and many I am sure! God bless you and yours.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much!!

[@annesweeney5552]

Marvelous video

[@Mntdewmania1]

You can see it now can't ya!! Fall is hovering righhhht under the surface just waiting to explode!!!

[@pattivanderhart2221]

My cherry tomatoes didnt produce well but I think it was bcuz I overplanted and they were crowded. I found an easy recipe to put them up by drying them and then preserving in olive oil like sun-dried tomatoes. You can season the oil with garlic, herbs, etc. They have to store in the fridge though with this recipe. I don't know how they can be canned in jars but they must be able to as you can buy them shelf-stable at the store in jars. Next year! 😄

[@sandraheassan378]

Congrats on your bounty this year!

[@matthewbrandon931]

65 today in West Texas. Fall is definitely here. For better or worse.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Brandon 😀

[@solinina6708]

I tried the dirt mixture and my muscles love the not hard weeding !❤️

[@joycemetheny8338]

Tipper , you should get yourself a bunch of those cheap little heavy wire fencing sections they have at all the dollar stores and use them to reinforce the outsides of your grow bags . They would be a lot cuter than some old sticks , dont you think ?

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Joyce 😀

[@ebutuoyebutouy]

Awesome. And last chance to grow some weed. Does not like the winter.

[@karenrinke9071]

Our tomatoes that matt said wouldn't do nothing. Well so far there are green tomatoes hanging on. Almost time to giggle at Matt. This has been fun teasing Matt and fallowing the fall garden with you Tipper. God bless you and your beautiful family, and Olive the wonder dog.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Karen! I knew you'd be as happy as I am about those tomatoes 😀

[@kentsmith1507]

These posts just make me feel good in often-turbulent times...I just feel better about the world. Thanks for helping the rest of us Celebrate Appalachia!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so welcome!

[@homesteadingpastor]

Enjoyed this garden tour Miss Tipper! Hoping you guys have a great harvest from y’all’s fall garden. We are just now getting some of our fall crops in the ground. I like how you always notice the little things in your garden like that little diamond shaped raindrop. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇👍🏻❤️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thanks Pastor Lon 😀

[@mariacherrington61920]

I love your videos 🙂 Having lived in Central Illinois all my life in Small Cities it's so nice to see all of your gardens 🙂🙂 Some things I've never heard of like the Rattlesnake Beans. I've tried out your Casserole with the zucchini onion tomatoes n cheese it was so yummy.😋 Thanks for all of the great recipes n videos n the bonus education your videos provide on a different part of the country than where I'm located 🙂 Have a wonderful Thursday

[@nanijeanie]

Thank you for sharing your garden tour! I would like to see the okrie in your next video. I'm in Oregon and we don't have that here. I don't even know what it is!

[@laurarowland7926]

Here in central Virginia my morning glories,poison ivy dying, and acorns are falling from the trees hitting everything!!..planted more string beans,celery,and onions..

[@jasonrichards3785]

Lovely tour. You need some muscadine vines. They bear in the fall and make some very good jelly.

[@montanaliving4769]

I dislike fall and winter as well. There are things I enjoy about them but I can never wait to start my spring seeds!

[@walrusgumboot7243]

I love your garden videos, I always try to pay attention to little tips and tricks that you offer that I can use in mine, thank you!

[@margaretevans1934]

Do you grow brussel sprouts in America? I know they are a love them or hate them thing here. I do love them. I have grown sweet potatoes for the first time ever. They are in a very big planting tub and the vines have gone mad but I am not sure when I need to harvest. My neighbour has a virginia creeper growing through the hedge and it is turning scarlet already. My little japanese acer is still green but that goes a lovely orange to red before losing its leaves for winter. I am making a start on getting the spring bulb pots out from their sleep and refreshing the compost, feeding them then top dressing with grit. I keep saying every year that I am not putting things in pots but then I get sidetracked by the bulb catalogues and I have three new types of bulb sitting in a box. Thanks Tipper for you video.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Margaret! Lots of folks do grow brussel sprouts but I never have 😀

[@brendagoins3541]

Thanks for the tour of your fall garden! I have been watching your channel for over a year now. I have my daughter now watching also! I have just recently moved to the appalachian area. How do you prepare your soil for planting? I haven't been able to do much digging in the dirt here in Virginia. Thanks!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Brenda!! We use a tiller in some places and in others we just turn over the beds. We do try to add compost each year and we use mulch to keep down the weeds 😀

[@mildredrharmon4032]

I miss helping in the garden! I’m hoping to find a place I can put one next year! ❤️🙏🏼 yum fried green tomatoes! I also like rootabeggas 😋 I know I didn’t spell that right 🤣 your gardens are beautiful 😍 ❤️ Than you!

[@mygarden365]

Maybe you could get Matt to create/fabricate a metal or wood structure/cage to put your grow bags in ( the ones that flop over ). It will help to give your tomato plants a trellis structure and also keep the bags firm inside a 'cage'.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Great idea 😀

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

Hi Tipper, I got some rattlesnake beans that you said you liked, mine are growing now and doing really good. Maybe another week or two. I can't wait. The plants look so healthy. I'm wondering if I can sneak in another row before it's too late here in upstate NY. I'm guessing no, but I might try anyway. Very interesting as always, thanks for sharin. :D

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Yay! So glad they are doing good 😀

[@dwayne85261]

I passed thru your family’s town on our way to Asheville, thought about you guy’s!

[@joyceedwards9652]

When I turned 60 i could really feel what the old folks would say they can "feel" fall or rain It rained here in Mansfield Ohio today but got sunny later The little leaves of kale look so good

[@msmith7472]

Joyce im in southern ohio...we had a few light showers today

[@markisom350]

I absolutely love seein how yer garden comes along !!! You & yer family are awesome !!! Do y'all make Chow Chow in the fall by chance ?!?!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

We do. I have a video on a fermented chow chow that I make I hope to do one on the vinegar based one too. Thank you for watching!

[@bonniefordahl7065]

Tipper - should would hate to see you do away with your lawn. Know you’d like the space for food but it’s so beautiful and lush - just love to see your garden beds along the lawn. If I lived closer, I’d mow it for you 😄

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀

[@solinina6708]

Dirt mixture : peat Moss / or sphagnum moss,top soil,perlite/ or vermiculite,cow manure / or horse manure! Mix in a wheelbarrow! Then top garden w/ cocoa nut shells or peanut shells ( you can get them at Home Depot or Lowes!This gives you effortless of pulling weeds ! It’s good for flowers,vegetables & fruit plants !

[@robinsnell7249]

I so loved you showing us the diamond of water on the leaf.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 It was so pretty!

[@janicelux3035]

A friend of mine said her husband pulls up tomato plants - roots, green tomatoes and all - in the fall just before frost. They hang the vines from the garage rafters upside down, with the green fruit still on. They live long enough and the tomatoes continue to ripen - and she said they have fresh, ripe tomatoes right up through Thanksgiving!

[@msmith7472]

You can wrap green tomatoes in black and white newspaper and they will continue to ripen

[@Suleclo]

I'm so glad your late tomatoes are growing. When you stop, and have the time to really watch and listen, it's amazing to see all the subtle changes of each time of year. It's more than spring, summer, fall, and winter. I agree, I feel the same way this time of year - it's sad. Thank you for sharing! 💚💛🌾

[@msmith7472]

I have zucchini blooming....planted in August...few tomatoes...still picking cucumbers and my sweet potatoes are going strong.

[@timesthree5757]

Speaking of fall. I have maypops fruiting. Man I love my hills and the Great State of Arkansas. People ask me if I ever left my Nation. I tell'm yes I have. I have been to Missouri and Nebraska and that was 2 too many.

[@annmarie4794]

I always feel Fall in the air. It’s mystifying how you can just tell.

[@meloniemurillo2885]

One of the best sandwich I have ever had was a Fried green tomato BLT at a little restaurant in Charleston South Carolina called the Hominy Grill.

[@MAM-cy3yy]

Try using used car tires as containers for Kale, works great.

[@kathylane5934]

Its pretty there. Love our fall mountains

[@kathyvoyles6186]

I love how you've noticed the diamond of water..we are so blessed with precious gems in life...❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀 Thank you Kathy

[@msmith7472]

Im making my second batch of cucumbers that are to big and your Apple preserves...thank you for those videos...

[@janh519]

I feel exactly the way you do at first...until the leaves get those beautiful colors! When the gardens begin to lose their liveness, the lovely flower beds also lose a lot of their brightness. I usually buy pots of mums to set around out front and I really need to begin looking for some right away. Soon the leaves will begin to look beautiful, fall flowers will be in bloom, and we will enjoy that season the brief time it lasts!

[@cherylmoebakken3589]

Please don’t feel down and out; you bring such joy to me and all your subscribers viewing your gorgeous garden. I find myself thinking, “oh it’s Sunday evening. What will she bring us?” I hope you’ll continue to let us in on your Sunday evenings as the seasons change!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind-thank you 😀

[@sbishop16]

I love your garden🥰

[@joyce9523]

Very excited to see how your fall garden turns out 🥰

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Joyce 😀

[@jonnyw82]

The internet is a crazy place but your channel is such a blessing and your family is just delightful. God bless you!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind-thank you 😀

[@myrthagunter4141]

Tipper it your chickens that's eating your kale. I had to put up fencing to keep those birds out of my kale , and spinach patch last year. They will also eat your seeds that you put in the ground later in the growing season. Bugs are dieing off and the 🐔 are looking for something else to eat . Frustrating ! Thank you 💕

[@blakemcdaniel5007]

Winter is my favorite time of year !

[@nickik.9037]

Your fall garden is lovely. I'm looking forward to seeing what you produce as I've never actually seen anyone's fall garden from start to finish. Hugs!

[@bobsternvogel5550]

Glad the tomatoes are continuing to thrive! Is pattypan the squash variety with a woman's name you were trying to remember?

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Bob. It was Mrs. Amerson's 😀 Katie got me the sees for Christmas.

[@ruthmccormick3246]

I enjoy your fall garden tour. You have some success and some misses. Thank you and God bless you and yours❤🙏❤

[@rad7965]

Another wonderful conversation with you as usual.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rl839]

Tipper I wish you and Matt lived closer to my 4.25 acre property where I don’t farm. I’m sure we could share the harvest there in! Be blessed and stay in the love of God. He will never leave us!

[@jeanping917]

Wonderful fall garden MS Tipper! My green beans had beautiful vines and lots of blooms earlier no beans I kept threatiening to tear them out but just couldn't do it!! Then we got rain and somewhat cooler weather they have perked up new growth blooms and beans!! Yes!! Several messes of green beans! Blessed beyond measure! Love your videos and readings Thank you and God bless.

[@55sargeshotrods]

Thank you for the reply. I would like to can them so I will wait awhile

[@winnie8592]

You know I planted Kentucky blue beans and rattlesnake beans this spring and they didn’t do nothin. So I planted again and slow no nothin. But now it’s a bit a cool yeah lord they took off. I gotta pick then everyday! I got more beans than I know what to do with.

[@3doggymom]

So, I want to know what you and Matt bet on for those late tomato plants? 🍅 LOL! I'm going to try planting seed potatoes this fall for spring taters. Had a bunch of store bought taters grow a ton of eyes. Wished luck!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

😀
