My first thought when Matt was joking around about Tipper giving him the boot before Christmas was, "careful there, Matt, you just might get your truck sold!'. I loved that story and I just love y'all!!!
Tipper and Matt, watching your videos makes my heart happy. Such love and respect between the two of you. I love when you two banter back and forth. God bless you both and the girls,too.
I hope no one minds how this sounds, but it is so NICE to have menfolk in the family that can keep the lawnmower (and other) running! What WOULD we do?!?!!! Thanks, Matt!
@@Lisasandiego1 their grandma, Miss Cindy passed away last week, their family had been taking care of her for a while. Her passing was very hard for all of them, they've all lost weight.
You and Matt make me wish I still had my late hubby. I lost him when he was only42 years old (massive heart attack) and I will soon be 82. I love hearing you two joke about things. Keep up the good videos. 💕
YES, you should receive an endorsement deal. Because of you describing the popsicles, I bought some. They were on sale for $3.99/12 count. Enjoy your channel!!
I can't believe how fast everything seems to have grown in the garden. Seems like yesterday you were planting. Now you are reaping all of your hard work.
Hi there, Im from Australia. I just love watching your videos, especially how you nuture and grow your fruit and vegetables. You are all so invested and generous with your produce. When you and Matt, sit and eat your icy poles (Australian) i feel like i am sitting there with you, listening to the stories and gardening advice 😃
My mama made the best blueberry pie. In the summer she would make one almost every week...I loved to heat it up and then put a splash of half and half on it...I did it because I loved the color purple it would make in my bowl. DELISH!
It's the first time I see a blueberry bush that high, our blueberry bushes are much shorter yet we are renowned to have the best wild blueberries usually they thrive after wildfires so in the old days they used to clear out parts of the forest and burn clearings for the strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries to abound. It also helped to prevent forest fires. 🍁
Cucumber salad Several cukes peeled 1 1/2 tsp sugar 1 1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt 2 1/2 tbls Apple Cider Vinegar 1/2 sm red or yellow onion thinly sliced Toss cuke slices with sugar & salt. Let stand 5 mins. Then stir in vinegar & onion Refrigerate 10 mins , then serve DELICIOUS
When you'll were talking about persimmons brought to my memory of the time I had made my dad persimmon pudding(his very favorite dessert)to have with our Thanksgiving feast. I have always done this every year. I had found some in my freezer from quite a few years back. He told me that day that it was the best one I had made him yet! Which mother immediately took offense to!lol I said, "Well, you won't believe me when I tell you how old they were!" He asked, and I told him that they were 11 years old!! I wished you could have seen his eyes😂😂 He's been gone near 5 years now but it is one of the funniest memories I have of him except the times that I, as a young child, would hide around a corner and scare him as he would walk by, just for the heck of and to see him jump to the ceiling!😂😂😂😂❤😊
You mentioned jar flies. It's my most favorite sound of summer, and the louder the better! At the end of summer when there's only one or two chirping, it's a sad day. Love your channel. I still pray for you all in your grief. ❤
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching you harvest the tomatoes, cucumbers, blueberries from your garden. I get a thrill from anticipating all the wonderful foods you’re going to enjoy as a family. A bountiful harvest is such a blessing!
When you mentioned all of you going on a picnic and just frying the fish on the river it brought back such wonderful memories! We used to take our boys fishing in FL. We always took a cast iron frying pan, corn meal, onions, oil, potatoes, salt and pepper. Whatever we caught we would stop and cook when we got hungry.....nothing ever tasted so good!!! That has been almost 50 years ago!!!! My how time flies when you are having fun!
The peppers looked so good! Love watching these Vedic’s. This one was 6 months ago. We were thinking about growing strawberry’s. I like your strawberry planters.
I just happened to be eating an outshine popsicle while I was watching your video. Love hearing the sounds of the woods and listening to you both. Enjoy your harvest!
I really enjoy these videos. Reminds me of being with my family who have passed on. My dad grew up on a cotton farm in a small town in Arkansas and my mom was from New York. It made life growing up very interesting 😊. Hard work and family was always very much respected.
You are so blessed with your beautiful place that you live in. So peaceful to be able to sit there and listen to the birds, with the paradise you created with God's blessing. Wonderful girls, raised by wonderful people. And some dynamite popsicles! 😊😊😊 God bless all here.
I am the same as your girls with gluten. I will not eat it anymore, I feel that much better without it. You & Matt are precious. My hubby is Matt too. You & I are both very blessed with our Matts. ☺ -much love from NJ ~Mary & fam
I bought your cookbook for my son, he also watches your channel. He's a homesteader and him and his wife are good cooks so I'm sure they will injoy the cookbook ❤
I really enjoyed this video, and I’ll tell you why. I know Matt loves you Tipper and this was the first time I seen Matt showing you little affectionate pats on the back and on the arm and leg. I almost started crying, we all need that. Tipper you do a lot for your family and I’m happy when they show you the affection. Anyway I just wanted to mention that. These little things make us feel like part of the family. I really love the show, it’s very relaxing! I don’t know about when the babies come? But it’s still relaxing right now. Thank you Matt and Tipper!!
I picked enough tomatoes for my neighbor to have a bag of them. Made me feel so good that I could share! Your garden looks lovely. My aunt was out for a visit and had tomato sandwiches while she was here. She was thrilled!
Glad to hear you haven’t had deer in your garden. We have for the first in a long time. They ate (robbed) celery, ate the tops of tomato plants, pepper plants, some cabbage. The pepper plants a stunted. The tomato plants are coming back. My husband put one of his stinky t shirts on a stick in the garden. They say the stench from the shirt repels the deer! Love you folks! Gardening in Connecticut!
I was thinking Matt is getting a farmers tan Harvested enough rainbow swiss chard for one. Sauted with garlic, dressed with a pinch of 🍋. First time growing and eating it. I will continue Found cucumbers in both gardens. Ate one right after being picked Yummy❤ so much fun sharing garden updates We have had really a run of hot days Dry but have had a couple days/ nights of good rain.
Those mystery tomatoes do look like the pink bumblebee from Bakers Creek- I like them pretty good and they were the only ones that didnt crack when we had a streak of wet weather. These videos are my favorites, I love to see whats growing in your garden! 💚
I love when Matt's always saying it's gonna be sweltering hot for 4 months straight! I also am not a fan of hot humidity! I embrace Fall every year❤ I watch you each evening. The outdoors are so soothing to the soul. Prayers for happy days ahead.
You both were making those blueberries look awfully tasty. I'm like Matt, I'm ready for a tomato sandwich. My son gave me one out of their first time ever garden. I'm so proud of them.
Yay for a productive garden! Enjoy! I looked for those popsicles at our grocery store, but they were $6.99 for a small box. I'll wait for when they go on sale.
It's nice seeing this expanded view of your property. You have a lovely homestead. Even a tomato with bad spots is better than the supermarket! We planted blueberries for the first time this year. Don't expect much of a harvest. We're just hoping they thrive! Now retired, I was a teacher for most of my life. The garden was always ready for harvest just as we went back to school. Now September is a joy!
Tipper and Matt !! I wish I could express how much your videos mean to me😊. All I can say is I am so glad I found your channel!!! Today's video was really wonderful !! I just ate some blackberries and blueberries from my yard. They were so good. I've got 3 🍅 plants and they are doing pretty good. I went out to check on them Fri and fell flat on face.lol😂😂 It was so funny yet scarey. I thought I would never get up. It certainly wasn't easy. Just thankful that I fell in the grass and not the gravel. And glad I didn't get hurt. Your garden is so beautiful. I wish I could have one but I have no way. My sweet son is raising a garden so he will share with me. Many prayers for you and your family. Much Love to you....
I just had to say "Hi" and "Thank you!" I just got the book, "Celebrating Southern Appalachian Food" delivered today and I'm thrilled with it! I'm a long-time viewer but first-time poster and I can't tell you how much I have learned from you! I'm a retired Army officer, and I hope to be relocating to a much more rural (and sane) spot just as soon as I find the kind of spot I'm looking for. In the mean time, a HUGE THANK YOU! De Opresso Liber! Warmest Regards!
My hubby just picked a few cherry and grape tomatoes from our garden and showed me a few green peppers that are sprouting. And I picked 2 cups of raspberries from our bushes! There is nothing quite as satisfying as growing your own food and tending to nature's beauties. 😊
Howdy neighbors! I didn't see this new episode until early Monday (07/10). That NC mountain mist is surely a sight in the morning. Have a great week. God's peace be with you.
Awww! I loved that Matt gave You a Hug there at the End. You Both are Such a Blessing to watch & listen to.. You make Me feel 😊 HAPPY when All in My life health wise & other situations seem so Overwhelming. Love All the things You Share...I would Love to see Elderberries*& Service Berries and if you would be able to show anything with the Elderberry it would be interesting to Me. Those are 2 things we never dealt with when I was younger. Definitely DON'T EVEN TASTE A PERSMISSON before it's Ripe! Pucker Power 😂 God Bless You & Matt & All of the Family.
I love watching you two, it doesn't matter what you are doing. It takes me back to siting and talking with my aunts and uncles Grandparents and great grandma and so many cousins that Rose family reunions were a sight to behold. Then you had to count in the friends. Oh the food, I can remember cooking in a little old kitchen at grannies she had an electric stove and there were 7 or 8 of us women in there cooking. It would get hot as a firecracker. My aunt Verba said that I was such a good cook I was going to kill somebody. My sister Cretia's late husband once said that I could take a glass of milk and a roll of toilet paper and make a gourmet meal. What a family. God bless you and your family.
Good harvest so far, I love me some tomatoes. My husband Tom does not, so I always say I left you some tomatoes if you want some. He always say oh no thanks I had some earlier lol.My granddaughter Haylee loves those Outshine popsicles she likes the Mango kind. So yes we do have them here in Michigan. I love your watching your show. My continued prayers for you all and Ms. Cindy ❤️🙏❤️
Traveling gardener!! On that note I would be fun to see some local garden tours at the prime of summer .. when I lived in hickory I went to this guy's garden to visit in Newton, NC, he had been battling cancer for many years but his outlet was his garden and it was the Disneyland of gardens , I was in heaven , he grew a bunch of the little white cucumbers and his favorite to pickle , he had like a half acre of watermelon and pumpkin, it was just super maintained and just beautiful, I would go back home and work mine . ❤️
Tipper, I have such a bad problem with Japanese beetles eating my roses it makes me wish I could have some chickens to feed on those horrid little creatures. Those grape Outshine popsicles sure are tasty. Loved it when Matt gave you that sweet little squeeze at the end. Take care and keep on enjoying the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor.
Fabulous, garden harvest! Those shoshito peppers can be taken green, blistered in the oven in a cast iron pan and eaten as a snack with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a creamy dip. The thought of Granny working in the garden in Pap's clothes made me smile.
Your garden has just shot up and is beautiful! Love the popsicle conversations. Catch fish and cleaning on the bank is the way to go! We always catch and the clean when we're ready to leave. Leaves some scraps for the animals to eat, or we throw the in the water for fish or water creatures. Thanks for posting the bread recipes.
Picked my first two small cucumbers just like yours yesterday! And 3 small crookneck squash. Could've let them grow a little more but I just had to make a meal out of them. Enjoying the literal fruits of our labor is just the most rewarding experience year after year! Especially those first few fresh picks after going so long without. Thanks for sharing your excitement with us Tipper and Matt.
Your place looks very nice after trimming and mowing! Nothing like the smell of fresh mowed grass! Nice to see you guys enjoying the fruits of your labour.
I love hearing you two chat. Your topics are fun and interesting most all the time. I’ve been sorry about your loss of Miss Cindy. She certainly sounds like she was a wonderful lady and I’m sure she was. Your garden looks fantastic and you’re already getting some tomatoes! Soon there will be beans and corn! I look forward to your next video!
Amazing to me how much I enjoy just listening to you guys talking. I’ve been fighting Japanese beetles eating up my rose bushes. I didn’t know about the traps. Thanks. I ordered some from Amazon. Thanks again for the videos ❤️
I was just thinking about sarvice as you were talking and eating blueberrries and then you mentioned them! At home in Bramble Indiana we had an orchard with lots of sarvice and apple trees, and we would climb the trees and choose a comfortable limb to sit on and sit there eating our fill of sarvice. And when we had eaten all the ones around us on one tree we would move to another. It was...heaven, sitting and eating sarvice and talking to my sisters.
@@PepperplacewithShawnaMy niece had a serviceberry bush at one time, but she moved and I'm not sure if she ever got berries on it. My cousin once told that after we were grown up he was with some business associates and they were talking about serviceberries and he said "Oh you mean sarvice?!" And then he realized we had been country bumpkins and called them sarvice. Ha ha.
🐦 Singing bird, I paid attention to, through my open window or in your tree; your place or mine? I laughed, 🐦 your place! Delighted little bird, meant to be heard! The lush green yard, surrounding your home is invitingly wonderful to see!
Your garden looks great. Always amazed the rate of growth you all have compared with here in Northern Appalachia (upstate NY). You all are about a month ahead of us. We just had our first cherry tomatoes, and our Cherokee Purple plants are setting on fruit. The bugs ate the liver out of our bean plants. However, the rain came, and it has been hot, and they all came back and are looking like nothing ever happened. So far so good.
Tipper, that hat suits you. The brim is becoming. When I was little, our neighbor had a persimmon tree. I had never had persimmons, so I was asking him what it was. I guess he thought I was showing too much interest and might snitch some, so acting all nice, he picked one and gave it to me to eat right then. Whoo-eee! I didn't think my mouth was ever going to come un-puckered. He wasn't a very nice man. 😄 I've been mistrustful of persimmons ever since, though I like them well enough once they're baked into bread or cookies. 😀
Thanks for sharing! The yellow tomato looks like a "lemon boy". My sweet neighbor gifted me a small starter plant of lemon boy when we first moved to Arizona. They are sweet and juicy, great in salads! My favorite tomato is Cherokee Purple. I grew them last year here. I sure do miss the soil back east! God Bless y'all
Such a blessing when you get in the first harvest! I thought of Matt a couple of days ago, I had my first garden tomato and mayo sandwich if the season! Absolutely delicious!
I had my first yellow tomato sandwich earlier this week and man it was good! Your cucumbers look so good. There is just nothing as good as growing your own food. The Outshine popsicles are addictive too.
Due to reasons I couldn't control I planted some things late but we still are going to have plenty of warm weather I can't wait to harvest my veggies!! I planted two Cherokee Purple tomato plants and I can't wait to harvest those either!!
Just got done pickling 10 quarts of cucumbers and 15 pints of banana peppers with my son and his wife Haylie They'll be ready to eat in four weeks but we just couldn't wait so we cheated and ate a jar of each with supper. I am super blessed to have them living next door now.
@@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY God bless Renee , I live in north Georgia , Good night friend may our heavenly Father bless you and keep you safe and well in Jesus name
Love fresh produce. Your garden looks so good. Over the past couple of days we’ve been gifted some squash, cucumbers and okra. Can’t wait for a nice tangy tomato! When Matt said something about eating 2 or 3 tomato sandwiches, I totally understood! 🤣 God bless y’all. 😀❤️
I made a simple salad yesterday with some tomatoes we grew and I thought of y'all, the many times you've delighted in homegrown foods (and I was delighted)! Thank you all for everything you do. 🙌🏼
Matt, I’m so happy that you have more time for fishing. I hope that you are doing well. You seem stoic so it’s hard to know how you are feeling. Tipper, I love hush puppies but don’t want to stand over a pot of hot grease so I make that great Appalachian classic “ hush puppy cornbread”.
The best watermelons we grew came up in my son's sandy swing set/play area. I'd given him and his little buddy watermelon slices to eat outside and they had a seed spitting contest. Didn't know what the plant was at first but quickly figured it out. We did nothing but leave them be. Got 8 big sweet watermelons. Wouldn't you know know the next year we bought seeds and properly planted and got little mealy softballs.

I thought about that, too!❤
it so heartening seeing the love between Matt and you. you can really see the love between you all
Tipper and Matt, watching your videos makes my heart happy. Such love and respect between the two of you. I love when you two banter back and forth. God bless you both and the girls,too.
Thank you so much!
I hope no one minds how this sounds, but it is so NICE to have menfolk in the family that can keep the lawnmower (and other) running! What WOULD we do?!?!!! Thanks, Matt!
Since Katie has lost weight, I can hardly tell them apart such a sweet family.
Yes, she and Corie look more like they did in HS.
I actually thought she was Corie when I first saw her standing there!
I was thinking the same!
Has she been on a diet to loose weight??
@@Lisasandiego1 their grandma, Miss Cindy passed away last week, their family had been taking care of her for a while. Her passing was very hard for all of them, they've all lost weight.
I love it when you and Matt sit and talk. The birds sound so happy. Awesome.
Keep on sitting with us and sharing your stories, recipes. It’s like I’m sitting right there with you. Such good conversation. Thank you
You and Matt make me wish I still had my late hubby. I lost him when he was only42 years old (massive heart attack) and I will soon be 82. I love hearing you two joke about things. Keep up the good videos. 💕
I’m so sorry you lost him.
“You’ve come unfed.” Oh, how I love you two! Thank you for another fabulous video! ❤

What great memories!!
The peppers looked so good! Love watching these Vedic’s. This one was 6 months ago. We were thinking about growing strawberry’s. I like your strawberry planters.
I have to admit, I am jealous of Matt’s tomato sandwiches! My first tomato started turning red, so hopefully soon!
I just happened to be eating an outshine popsicle while I was watching your video. Love hearing the sounds of the woods and listening to you both. Enjoy your harvest!
I really enjoy these videos. Reminds me of being with my family who have passed on. My dad grew up on a cotton farm in a small town in Arkansas and my mom was from New York. It made life growing up very interesting 😊. Hard work and family was always very much respected.
You two belong together that is for sure. I think you have a lot of respect for one another and that is great. God bless you both and family.

Good harvest so far, I love me some tomatoes. My husband Tom does not, so I always say I left you some tomatoes if you want some. He always say oh no thanks I had some earlier lol.My granddaughter Haylee loves those Outshine popsicles she likes the Mango kind. So yes we do have them here in Michigan. I love your watching your show. My continued prayers for you all and Ms. Cindy ❤️🙏❤️

Traveling gardener!! On that note I would be fun to see some local garden tours at the prime of summer .. when I lived in hickory I went to this guy's garden to visit in Newton, NC, he had been battling cancer for many years but his outlet was his garden and it was the Disneyland of gardens , I was in heaven , he grew a bunch of the little white cucumbers and his favorite to pickle , he had like a half acre of watermelon and pumpkin, it was just super maintained and just beautiful, I would go back home and work mine . ❤️
Tipper, I have such a bad problem with Japanese beetles eating my roses it makes me wish I could have some chickens to feed on those horrid little creatures. Those grape Outshine popsicles sure are tasty. Loved it when Matt gave you that sweet little squeeze at the end. Take care and keep on enjoying the fruits (and vegetables) of your labor.
Fabulous, garden harvest! Those shoshito peppers can be taken green, blistered in the oven in a cast iron pan and eaten as a snack with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a creamy dip.
The thought of Granny working in the garden in Pap's clothes made me smile.
Your garden has just shot up and is beautiful! Love the popsicle conversations. Catch fish and cleaning on the bank is the way to go! We always catch and the clean when we're ready to leave. Leaves some scraps for the animals to eat, or we throw the in the water for fish or water creatures.
Thanks for posting the bread recipes.
You 2 are just the sweetest, warms my ❤
Glad to see someone favors the ole Uncle Henery pocket sticker ‼🥰
Picked my first two small cucumbers just like yours yesterday! And 3 small crookneck squash. Could've let them grow a little more but I just had to make a meal out of them. Enjoying the literal fruits of our labor is just the most rewarding experience year after year! Especially those first few fresh picks after going so long without. Thanks for sharing your excitement with us Tipper and Matt.
Your place looks very nice after trimming and mowing! Nothing like the smell of fresh mowed grass! Nice to see you guys enjoying the fruits of your labour.
I think your garden is perfect ❤ I also love when Matt just gives you a squeeze 😊🥰🥰 The Best love is the surprise 😊
I love hearing you two chat. Your topics are fun and interesting most all the time. I’ve been sorry about your loss of Miss Cindy. She certainly sounds like she was a wonderful lady and I’m sure she was. Your garden looks fantastic and you’re already getting some tomatoes! Soon there will be beans and corn! I look forward to your next video!
Hard to believe how soon your tomatoes matured compared to me in UK,and I’m sure we planted around the same time
Amazing to me how much I enjoy just listening to you guys talking. I’ve been fighting Japanese beetles eating up my rose bushes. I didn’t know about the traps. Thanks. I ordered some from Amazon. Thanks again for the videos ❤️
I was just thinking about sarvice as you were talking and eating blueberrries and then you mentioned them! At home in Bramble Indiana we had an orchard with lots of sarvice and apple trees, and we would climb the trees and choose a comfortable limb to sit on and sit there eating our fill of sarvice. And when we had eaten all the ones around us on one tree we would move to another. It was...heaven, sitting and eating sarvice and talking to my sisters.
Is there anywhere to buy a service berry tree? We had one when I was a child. I loved those berries!
@@PepperplacewithShawnaMy niece had a serviceberry bush at one time, but she moved and I'm not sure if she ever got berries on it. My cousin once told that after we were grown up he was with some business associates and they were talking about serviceberries and he said "Oh you mean sarvice?!" And then he realized we had been country bumpkins and called them sarvice. Ha ha.
Thank you because I look forward to seeing your beautiful garden and what's going on plus those Outshine bars that now I'm addicted to 😂
🐦 Singing bird, I paid attention to, through my open window or in your tree; your place or mine? I laughed, 🐦 your place! Delighted little bird, meant to be heard! The lush green yard, surrounding your home is invitingly wonderful to see!
Your garden looks great. Always amazed the rate of growth you all have compared with here in Northern Appalachia (upstate NY). You all are about a month ahead of us. We just had our first cherry tomatoes, and our Cherokee Purple plants are setting on fruit. The bugs ate the liver out of our bean plants. However, the rain came, and it has been hot, and they all came back and are looking like nothing ever happened. So far so good.
Just wanted to thank you for your prayers. My biopsy came back benign! I am so relieved.
Wonderful news!!! Praise God 😀
Tipper, that hat suits you. The brim is becoming.
When I was little, our neighbor had a persimmon tree. I had never had persimmons, so I was asking him what it was. I guess he thought I was showing too much interest and might snitch some, so acting all nice, he picked one and gave it to me to eat right then. Whoo-eee! I didn't think my mouth was ever going to come un-puckered. He wasn't a very nice man. 😄 I've been mistrustful of persimmons ever since, though I like them well enough once they're baked into bread or cookies. 😀
Oh goodness 😀 Yes you never forget that taste 😀 Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! The yellow tomato looks like a "lemon boy". My sweet neighbor gifted me a small starter plant of lemon boy when we first moved to Arizona. They are sweet and juicy, great in salads! My favorite tomato is Cherokee Purple. I grew them last year here. I sure do miss the soil back east! God Bless y'all
Thank you for sharing your time❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a blessing when you get in the first harvest! I thought of Matt a couple of days ago, I had my first garden tomato and mayo sandwich if the season! Absolutely delicious!
I had my first yellow tomato sandwich earlier this week and man it was good! Your cucumbers look so good. There is just nothing as good as growing your own food. The Outshine popsicles are addictive too.
Due to reasons I couldn't control I planted some things late but we still are going to have plenty of warm weather I can't wait to harvest my veggies!! I planted two Cherokee Purple tomato plants and I can't wait to harvest those either!!
Just got done pickling 10 quarts of cucumbers and 15 pints of banana peppers with my son and his wife Haylie They'll be ready to eat in four weeks but we just couldn't wait so we cheated and ate a jar of each with supper. I am super blessed to have them living next door now.
Love that 😀
Tomatoes look good. Mine are still green. Love to hear the jar flies ❤.
Always in awe of your gardens… so wonderful!😊❤
Matt and Tipper equals GOALS
😀 Thank you!
Tipper, you look so classy in that dark hat! 😊
Everything is looking beautiful. I could see the love between the two of you. Very special. ❤
What a great harvest! Our local supermarket had Outshine popsicles BOGO!! Got the tangerine and pineapple!! So good!!
Matt she'll keep you until the garden is in anyways...LOL ...I love how you two get along so well
😀
Love it when your both out the garden,ke ep them coming tipper,we’ve got rubbish on the TV so I’m relying on you.
You are clearly the apple of Matts eye! He is a hoot.
God bless you Tipper, thank you for praying for me and my family, 🙏✝️❤️
Hey Norman Jeffery Chester 😁
I had forgotten where I knew you from 🤗
@@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY God bless Renee , I live in north Georgia , Good night friend may our heavenly Father bless you and keep you safe and well in Jesus name
@@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY it's ok blind pig and acorn!
@@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY do you have family?
A good example of why they’re called the SMOKEY mountains. ❤
Smoky Mountains don't have an E.
@@papaw5405 You are correct. My mistake.
Love fresh produce. Your garden looks so good. Over the past couple of days we’ve been gifted some squash, cucumbers and okra. Can’t wait for a nice tangy tomato! When Matt said something about eating 2 or 3 tomato sandwiches, I totally understood! 🤣 God bless y’all. 😀❤️
I made a simple salad yesterday with some tomatoes we grew and I thought of y'all, the many times you've delighted in homegrown foods (and I was delighted)! Thank you all for everything you do. 🙌🏼
Sounds great!
Thank you for the wonderful visit and sit down.
Very Beautiful Home and Property. Garden is lushis. Beautiful.
Have a wonderful day.
The birds sound so pretty
All your hard work is paying off. Such gorgeous tomatoes & those 🌶 peppers!
The days are long and years are fast, Hope have a great week
Matt, I’m so happy that you have more time for fishing. I hope that you are doing well. You seem stoic so it’s hard to know how you are feeling.
Tipper, I love hush puppies but don’t want to stand over a pot of hot grease so I make that great Appalachian classic “ hush puppy cornbread”.
The best watermelons we grew came up in my son's sandy swing set/play area. I'd given him and his little buddy watermelon slices to eat outside and they had a seed spitting contest. Didn't know what the plant was at first but quickly figured it out. We did nothing but leave them be. Got 8 big sweet watermelons. Wouldn't you know know the next year we bought seeds and properly planted and got little mealy softballs.
I love the green shishito peppers blistered over the fire or hot skillet. Mmm
I really enjoy watching your harvest and am just a tad bit envious...just a tad 😊...and the bird songs is such beautiful music.
