That is really cool you guys found a salamander. They are really rare nowadays..

[@Cathy-c1b]

The love you have for your precious daughters and your darling wife just radiates from every pore within you. What a tender loving husband and father.

[@Alicia652]

I hope you two realize what a joy you are to those of us who get the privilege of watching your videos. I also hope you realize what a wonderful life you have there in the holler away from the fast paced life of the city. Each time I watch your videos and listen to you talk I have to confess being envious of your lifestyle. That is the lifestyle my parents and grandparents lived when I was growing up. What a wonderful life it was! Oh, that I could go back to those days and enjoy them again! 😊

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind! Thank you!!

[@garsu1229]

Watching you all fills my heart with hope and love your all such a blessing❤❤❤❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

[@donnacurtis1344]

I am very happy you are able to plant some Corn.

[@sherributler7084]

I love to see you and Matt working and doing things together on your channel he seems to have hit his stride on here since his retirement! Such sweet gestures he made towards Katie and Corie for Mother’s Day and it’s so good to hear that granny is doing well! Thanks again for sharing your lives with all of us!! ❤

[@NurseMarshaC]

Got up this morning calling on the Lord to help me through this season of grief and when I opened my phone I saw this video and was so excited to see you all planting in “Pap’s” garden. It melted my heart to see the love Matt showed to the girls for Mother’s Day. It reminded me there are so many joys that we overlook every day. So grateful! Thank you all for who you are and for continuing to shine God’s presence toward your followers. ❤️🙏

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad you enjoyed it! Praying for you!!

[@JoFields-mh2ze]

A garden is a perfect place to spend time with friends and family. Out in nature, growing fresh veggies, and using God’s green earth for what it’s meant to be used for. Hard work, but the rewards are great!!! 🌽

[@maybellineearnestine9964]

The best food in the world comes from your own garden. There is just something about watching your garden grow, tending it, and harvesting. The food just tastes better. Its a unique pleasure and satisfaction eating what you have grown. I think of my Mommas vegetable dinners with hot biscuits or cornbread and homemade pickles and chow chow.....the best eating in the world. Love your videos. Thanks for continuing traditions that are such a part of the southern way of life. Y'all are precious people!

[@marycombs6517]

Matt is such a loving and thoughtful father. We need more men like him in this country. It would be a much better place. As always, I love to watch your videos.

[@debbeasher-k4764]

My Mom & Dad were great too. Miss them.❤🎈🎈💕

[@farmyourbackyard2023]

Amen.

[@mamawfrancy]

Matt & Tipper, Loving & thoughtful parents like you are precious & few. I understand how happy you guys felt planting Pap's garden because it was likened to honoring him again. We always feel your families connections & the love. I hope all of you beautiful Mother's especially Granny had a wonderful belated Mother's day. I Dearly Love Celebrating Appalachia With Y'All.

[@robinchanteusedylan8326]

So wonderful to revive that land, I imagine Pap´s lookin down from heaven & is very pleased 💖Very sweet setting up an area for Corie & for getting Katie a gift credit for supplies. Thanks for sharing this exciting progress with us. 🌽🌽🌽God bless 😊

[@catherinecooper2360]

Thank you Tipper for mentioning those of us who are childless and are still nurturing and caring for others! We sure do get overlooked and I appreciate your making note of it. Happy Mother's Day to you, Granny, Katie and Corie!

Absolutely wonderful family!! Wish everyone had a dad n mom like Tipper n Matt ! The world would be so much more peaceful!!

That Matt! He is such a thoughtful and kind man! What a Sweetheart to give his daughters a gift for their first Mother’s Day! 💙🙏😇

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

Huggs to Matt for recognizing Mother's Day for his family of Mothers ❤❤❤❤

[@kateverett7869]

I bought one of the Way Cool Tools hoes and I love it! It is heavy but it works and no it does not break in the middle of your work day. I get a kick out of Matt coming "unfed" - double unfed this time, and I know just what you mean.

[@lindahays8444]

Whoohoo finally getting to plant the big garden. I'm so happy for yall. Matt is so sweet . Taking care of those girls, what a sweet gift for them both. ❤

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Linda!!

[@bethgiesey9405]

Woo-hoo it's planted. Can't wait to watch the corn grow. Matt, you sure think of the coolest things to do for the girls. I could sew the excitement in Korie's face. Happy Mother's Day Tipper, Korie, & Katie

Good job! Y’all are a great team! Reminded me of my child hood in the garden… Saturday morning it was all hands on deck ( 5 of us kids) and a lot of evenings after daddy got home from his day job ( auto body repairman) we’d be in the garden … hoeing, pulling grass and weeds, sometimes watering, and then a lot of picking and hauling it back to the back porch . Fresh garden vegetables for supper every evening, tomato sandwiches whenever we wanted, cucumber salad on the side of our barbecue meat ( daddy love to bbq) Good times! Good times! Sitting on the front porch shucking corn and kinfolk and neighbor women helping my mama and she /we’d help them at harvest. It was a joyous event in the community… sweet iced tea and bare feet ! cutting up and just having a good time with it! Canning a whole lot of it and sharing with the elderly and needy . We were so blessed! Those were the days ! Thanks for sharing this and bringing back the memories! ❤️🙏

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love those memories!!

[@nancyl3843]

I am thrilled for you, Matt, the girls, and most especially for Granny to see Pap's garden reborn. It will be such a blessing for your family and a tribute to Pap and Granny, their hard work and life lessons passed on to all of you.

[@shaunaoneal5866]

Tipper, Matt's the best Husband & Father y'all ladies could have. God sure has blessed youns I'm glad to see y'all getting everything done and that granny is doing better . I'll still continue to keep y'all all in my prayers HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU & THE GIRL'S.🎉🎉🎉

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you!

[@roxeyserckie5414]

Sucession planting is good idea from experience with my folks planting.

[@lisaterryberry2490]

Matt is such a wonderful father to his sweet girls...I feel like Corie is looking more like Katie sometimes I can't tell them apart usually I can. I love how happy Corie was with her gift.

[@kimberlykelly7280]

Our HOA made us take out our 6 corn plants we had planted along the outside of our fence years ago. Our neighbors had twins so we all had a race to see whose plant grew the tallest. All our neighbors loved seeing it. Out came our plants 😢 Well we moved about 2 minutes away and now have our acre we can plant what we want and have chickens. No more mean HOA! I can’t wait to watch your corn grow! 😊

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad you are in a better place 😊

[@jessieoakes8033]

Lol it’s funny to me that people ask what u do with the crops. Like when I was little we basically didn’t buy any produce bc we ate what we could grow in season and that was plenty :) we didn’t have enough to can much most was used fresh but still we made ketchup and we did make pickles. Love yalls videos reminds me of my childhood and family and even now we have a small porch garden it’s so rewarding :)

[@Lookin2RetireSoon]

Subscribed today! Been watching since a little before Corie and Austin got married. Didn't realize it was so easy but here I am. My wife and I love your channel. The life, the music....it all brings us joy to see. We also have twin daughters. They live in my deceased parents home within walking distance of our house on land my parents gave us. We're both close to retirement and plan to do gardening. Used to have a few cows but got rid of them about 4 years ago. Want to grow our own vegetables. Y'all have prompted us to a simpler life. Tipper, your "I Am From" segment inspired me write my own story. It shined a light on how richly God has blessed me and led us in life. Matt, we had a Kubota L3302 delivered Saturday and I've already moved a bunch of dirt! The 45 year old Massey Ferguson finally gave up the ghost. Thank you'll for bringing us into a saner life. God bless you! P.S. Thank you for introducing us to Outshine.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you so much!! We appreciate all your support! I enjoyed hearing a bit about your life. Sounds like we have much in common 😊

[@ruthking6145]

Brings back memories of my daddy! Raising 7 kids we had to have a garden! He loved Silver queen corn 🌽. Blessings ❤❤❤

[@cherisunshine]

My daddy had extra weight welded into his t post driver years ago which has been a great help. You don’t have to pick it up as high to drive it, and helps from getting hurt.

[@DancingWatersAnCoFOB]

Ohhh I make pickled beans and corn together. Learned from my Daddy who learned from his Granny, my great Granny. Shewmamma that's good eating Matt!

[@Alicia652]

What a thoughtful daddy Matt is! I know Corie, will love having the beans right outside her door and especially since her Daddy planted it for her! Happy Mother’s Day to Tipper, Katie, and Corie! Many blessing to all of you!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you 😊

[@StElmosFire53]

It’s amazing what you can grow even on a deck if necessary. I had potatoes bean(pole), tomatoes etc on my concrete stoop in cardboard boxes when first married.

[@StElmosFire53]

[@jeninethompson9540]

This was a grest video ,Matt is an awsome girl Dad,you bring joy to my life everytime i watch,than you so much for sharing

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thanks so much 😊

[@nickik.9037]

I tell you what Tipper, you did a mighty fine thing when you found Matt to be your soul mate! You have been blessed with a wonderful husband, father to the girls, grandfater to the boys and a friend to all he meets. Not only can he do just about anything he puts his mind to but he doesn't seem to complain about any of it. Your channel & family bless me with every single video you put out. Thank you & hugs to you all.

[@lisaboucher1590]

I'm excited 😊 happy mother's day Tipper. I had a nice day, just being out of the hospital made my day. I had to go in and have open heart surgery. I was in the same time Granny was. Love y'all. Lisa from Oklahoma ❤❤❤

You gotta pickle beets too yummmm that’s so awesome of you and Matt doing that for the girls for mamas day. You 2 are so special a very special Family ❤️

Physical labor for a beautiful and meaningful gift is truly an act of LOVE‼️ What a thoughtful gift!

[@kathleencorreia2813]

I absolutely love the beautiful relationship that you both have with your girls. There is a couple of very lucky little fellows that are now in line for some of that good good love that you guys have. May God continue to bless you richly.

[@eileendavis8867]

My husband passed away 6 years ago. I especially miss him during gardening season. We always did the garden together. It always makes me smile to watch you and Matt work the garden together. Thank you for sharing.

[@pamelar5868]

❤❤❤❤

[@mmoretti]

I know what you mean. My husband passed away, he wasn’t one for gardening though he would help me with my small patch. But when Matt spoke about not having gotten to fish it made me remember my Steve who enjoyed nothing so much as getting out on a river, lake or pond.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I know you miss him so!! Glad you enjoy our videos-thank you for watching!!

[@gentry8440]

So very sorry for your loss. Please know that you have many people praying for you and thinking about you. Take care and God bless.

[@michaeldunn7716]

Just love you people. God bless your sweet hearts!❤❤❤❤❤

[@JoyceAlgofaidi]

Wow, that is a big garden. My Dad would have loved having a garden like that. When I was a kid and we lived in the country he had a big garden, but years later they moved closer into town because it was easier on them for getting to and from doctors and stores, but even then my Dad had a small garden in their back yard. He loved working in his garden and my Mom liked freezing a lot of the things that Dad grew. I'm sure they probably saved our family money by doing what they loved doing. Love watching your videos; they often remind me of things my family did.

[@sarahh4142]

Just now getting to sit down and watch, I am SO happy you finally got to plant the corn!!! Hope you all had a wonderful mother's day, I'm sure it was extra special this year! ❤

[@LornaBoughrara]

Happy Mother’s Day to you and the girls! And Granny! Blessings to you all❤

[@auntiereeses5864]

Miss Tipper, I find my garden tools at the thrift stores - the GOOD old stuff, and sometimes the REALLY good OLDER stuff. I hear they can be had at garage sales, too, but I don't get out that much. I clean up the rust (if I'm willing) and give wood parts a coat of whatever is handiest (walrus oil or deck treatment-type stuff). The really good, old wood can look pretty pathetic, but feels stronger than the newer lightweight wood of recent years. When did this start to change, anyhow? The '80s? Thanks for another great video - nothing like enjoying a popsicle while sitting in a tractor bucket. Have a beautiful day and God bless!

[@watchinglclowns9890]

Love Shuckey Beans , WOW Brings Back Memories of My Grandparents .. Drying in the Sun Everywhere 😀

[@pattidunkin870]

A wave of bittersweet nostalgia sweeps over me as I watch your videos. I remember my parents and grandparents in their gardens. I love gardening because they loved gardening.

[@danaadkins1765]

I'm proud you got the corn planted,I'm sure pap is proud,I'm sitting here watching,and Everytime y'all eat a popsicle I want one,silly question what kind of popsicles do you get,love every single video y'all make,and watch them more than once,lookin forward to the next one,and glad Granny's doin better

Happy Mother’s Day. I got to meet my third great grandchild today. He was born last month. Also saw all my grandchildren. Was a great day.

[@chattsignal]

Even w Matt’s hat and dark sunglasses you can still see his face light up when he talks about surprising his daughters for their first Mother’s Day. (I’m almost glad I only recently found your channel so I can binge watch any time…. no reruns. 🙂 Tipper, you and your family wouldn’t know this but, I can tell you 100% your content helps reduce anxiety. Much gratitude from not too far away. 🌻

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad you enjoy what we do! Thank you 😊

[@wahmanteam1578]

My father used to use a chalk line to plant every seed he ever planted. He would also cut a stick pre-measured by him. For pole beans, it was 4 inches , for corn, it was 6 inches, for potatoes, it was 10 inches. You drop the stick then plant the seed. I thought he was being overly meticulous until once everything came up and got to looking lush, and then we would have people driving by our house so slowly to admire the perfection of our garden. And when Dad saw weeds in the garden, he would tell all of us kids, "I gotta hoe that will fit your hand just right!" And he would give us each a hoe of various sizes which did fit our hands "just right"! LOL!!!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love that!!

[@susanschuck8124]

Yay! Good luck with the corn field!

[@mistya627]

How thoughtful of you and Matt to do that for the girls. Such a sweet family!

[@veronicahuddleston7060]

We love Silver Queen corn too. It makes the best fried corn, or creamed corn.

Listening to the trees blowing in the wind, birds,etc. just lovely. I felt like I was sitting in my grandparents backyard after mowing/gardening etc. great memory❤

[@vickymcmahon8121]

Happy Mothers day to y’all also.❤

[@beckyray8746]

You could always plant your “ putting by “ corn at once so canning or freezing can all be done, but save a little space to plant a few hills at staggered times to have enough “eating corn” all summer

[@kourtnilackes7086]

Happy Mother's Day 💐💐💐

Wow how exciting to get the big garden planted. I can't wait to see that beautiful corn coming up. Also such sweet Mother's Day gift for the girls. Y'all just lift my spirits every time I watch. It's so good to see the good in this world. Oh and by the way, I had to go get me a box of popsicles so I can have one after I finish my garden work 😂. They look so tasty when y'all are eating them.

[@kimnichols1458]

Hi Tipper and Matt I am so Happy that you finally got the corn planted and what a Wonderful surprise for Corie planting her some green beans she was so tickled about it. I hope You had a Wonderful Mother's Day!😊❤🙏🏻🎉💐

[@patriciafleischer8866]

Happy Mother’s Day Ladies! ❤🥰✌🏼🇺🇸

[@s.c.2424]

Honestly, what a gift!! Your girls truly are blessed. We struggled with them birds when we had corn. Plus, we had hawks messing with our chickens. I eventually had to run my entension cord through my garden and added a blow up scare dancer from amazon. Boy, did that do the trick and the kids thought it was hilarious. So if the scarecrow don't do it, the blow up surely will! Happy Mother's day to you Tipper and the girls.

[@nancysparks6181]

You brought back such wonderful memories for me today of my grandma (Mamie) and my grandpa how they planted their garden and every Sunday we made homemade Ice cream the kind you turned and used every towel in the house but it sure was good thank you for that Happyi Mothers Day

[@eunicestone6532]

One for the blackbird and one for the crow.. That will leave just 2 to grow. Charles Ingalls rhyme for planting corn 4 kernels.

[@mhelen7360]

So exciting to see the big garden finally planted, and it's going to be fun to watch it grow. Matt's so sweet to do those special things for Corie & for Katie for Mother's Day. In south Georgia where I grew up, Silver Queen was an early summer crop, and it soon got too hot to grow it. We preferred it on the cob, because it's so watery that it didn't get thick enough when cooked off the cob. Then they developed that bicolor variety, I think it's Peaches and Cream, which is like having Silver Queen and a starchier variety on the same ear, and that makes it perfect for cooking off the cob. Tipper, I hope you and Granny as well as Katie and Corie had a wonderful Mother's Day. ♥️

[@pattymiles2688]

It looks like Paradise there… makes my heart ache thinking about my own memories of our garden. It was a big garden. Matt you are such a wonderful, kindhearted person. You and Tipper are just such wonderful people! God bless bless you both and your family! Happy Mother’s Day, Mrs. Tipper!! So tickled that you had such a blessed, joyous day in pops garden!
