There's something so fulfilling about picking beans. I haven't done it in years, but I used to love to find those great big green pods. There's nothing more delicious than fresh cooked green beans. Except maybe a fresh sliced tomato or a ripe ear of corn. 😊
Amen! Not only the picking of home-grown veggies, but the sitting on my nanny and papa's front porch, rocking and shelling acre peas and butter beans....well, maybe not so much the butter beans. 😂
The bean patch is a magical place to be 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia I've got to agree with you about the black-eyed peas Tipper. I like them, but they're not my favorites. I know these are almost the same thing as black-eyed peas, but I'd rather have field peas with snaps than black-eyed peas every day of the world, as you've gotten me to saying.
Y'all's garden has really been producing like gangbusters, well. . .except for the cabbages maybe. 🥴🥴😑😐
Good luck with your late season tomatoes and Tommy toes, and the rest of your late summer succession plantings. Here's hoping you'll have better luck with your cabbages next year and your garden keeps being as productive and bountiful as possible for you in years to come.
Good wishes to you and yours from New Bern, NC! 🥰🤗
When I was younger my fingers seemed like they were constantly stained purple from shelling those pink eyed purple hulls. Of course then I groaned and belly ached. Now I feel so much pride and accomplishment when I have purple fingers. ☺️
I loved my nanny's white butterbeans. She put fatback and hog lard in hers (really healthy!) and a mess of those on her cornbread with lots of the pot likker, and I was beside myself with happiness! RIP Nanny, I miss you. 🥰🥰
Yum 😀
I’ve never had a garden because I live on a hill and have a lot of large rock. My daughter recently purchased her grandparents house and told me I could plant a garden there. I’m so excited.
That's great 😀
I remember helping daddy "scrap " the last of the beans and tomatoes in the Fall here in North Mississippi. Those last tomatoes always seemed to be the best. As I'll be 70 years old on September 24th I realize now that those were the best times of my life.
Thank you Robert 😀
The best is yet to be.....Robert Browning.
You and Matt do such good work together. The way life should be. The peas look good. Interesting about cooking peas and butter beans being cooked together. I'll remember that. Be safe!
Thank you Buz 😀
You are fortunate to have Matt help out with the garden! A good man!
Good Lord have mercy. I remember going to my Aunt Billie's house with my mom and her other sisters to can string beans and tomatoes. Us kids would go out to her huge garden and pick string beans. Once we got started a couple of the kids would take the beans, snap off one end and peel the string up out of the seam of the bean and then snap the other end off to finish removing the string. My mom and the sisters would get the vegetables into Mason jars, into the pressure cookers and the older kids would carry them into cellar to store for the winter. My mom and the other sisters took their share and that is what we ate all winter. In December those beans were delicious but by March you got awful tired of them.
Nice memories!
Matts dry humor Kills me! 🤣 Your Gardens have produced a good bit so far.🙂
😀 He's a mess
@@CelebratingAppalachia Amen to that!❤
Those peas look like the ones my family has always grown and canned. Dried and tin can peas are not even the same vegetable as fresh peas like those. The taste and texture of fresh cooked peas with salt pork of some kind is unique and I could live on them. Peas, cornbread, side meat and fresh sliced tomato. Add a green onion and even better. The meal fit for a king lol. Enjoy while you can. 😊
You are so blessed to have a man who works beside you. You 2 look and sound so cute working ,sitting ,chatting and eating your ice blocks.
Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I just got in from picking the last from my 17 greasy beans loaned to me by the finest example of Appalachian womanhood I know. She gave me 21 seeds. 19 came up and moles killed 2. From those 17 beanstalks I have picked at least half a bushel to eat and I am saving a lot for seed. She refused to let me pay even the postage and I didn't protest because I know her goodness will be returned to her many times over if it hasn't already!
Yay for beans Papaw!! And for good friends 😀
Watching you harvest brings back so many wonderful memories of country living for me as a child and young adult. I know now how hard it was for my mom and dad to have a couple acres of vegetables. My dad worked 12 hour days as a mechanic and came home to tiller up the soil and plant seeds. My mom had four of us kids and my dad's parents who lived with us to cook and clean for and feed three meals a day. She washed using an old wringer washer and hanged all the clothes on a clothesline. Then had to iron stiff wrinkled blue jeans and shirts for all us. We always had good healthy meals, and at 72 I thank my diet growing up for good health and no prescription meds now.
I love you girls and love Matt's sense of humor.
😀 Thank you
There is nothing like fresh garden vegetables. We are enjoying your TH-cam videos. So blessed with seeing you, your family and friends. Brings back such sweet memories of my earlier years. Send our love to all. Just finished watching Cari and Austin (1 year ago) of their new home. God’s richest blessings to you all.🥰🙏🏻
So glad you are enjoying our videos 😀
Oh if I were younger and not sick, your inspiration would get me really in the gardening mood. All the things you and Matt do are memory makers for me. Thanks for sharing another great video.

You are so kind-thank you Jeri 😀
Matt is so stinkin’ funny with his out of balance hormones. He’s definitely outnumbered in his household-all those gals!😂
❤🤣
😀
I'm almost 60 years old and I wish I could pick some beans with my granny just one more time.
I love it that your husband helps you after supper he’s a keeper
Glad you got the beans and peas picked. And those rattlesnake beans look wonderful. I'm sure granny will be happy to have those beans.
She was tickled to death 😀 Thank you!
The rain has moved in to the north Oregon coast. It's in the 60s, bit of a breeze. It's perfect! Perfect day to settle down and watch Tipper in her garden!
You are so kind-thank you 😀 We're excited about getting some cooler weather
I love peas with some banana peppers, fresh tomatoes, onions, french fries and cornbread. Great meal!
When my in laws were alive and we had a large garden. Papa grew 4:5 long rows of butterbeans in may and we got our first mess 4th July week. We ate them fresh tilll end of summer then we started freezing them. Picking 2 wash tubs at the time. We froze everything in quart freezer bags. Granny my sister in law and myself worked together till the beans, peas and corn were froze. I canned green beans. We had peppers cucumber tomatoes and collards in fall. They made collard kraut . I was the only one that didn’t like it. This was in South Carolina and now I am the only member of my or my in-laws family that is living. I had to move to Arizona to live now with my only child. Boy do I miss that life.
Love those memories!
I can eat butter beans as a meal by themselves. I like to start by searing off some fatback and then letting it cook and render down with the beans. Then a little salt and pepper makes it perfect. For a little extra kick I'll add some of the brine from Trappey's Hot Peppers.
Sounds wonderful 😀
😋 Perfect
My family had a saying. If you could still tell it was a pot of green beans they were not done yet! We never had much luck growing beets or carrots. Only once had a fair growth of carrots. I accidentally planted them on the western side of the garage shed..
Thank you for watching! This is the first year I ever got carrots to grow 😀
We grow the pink eye purple hull peas in the spring and late summer/early fall here in south Alabama. It's one of the best tasting peas to me, I also like zipper peas and they put on a huge crop.
They are so good 😀
I'm just like Matt! I need to eat or I'm not good for anything. I really enjoy both your vlogs and The Blind Pig and the acorn. My dad's folks were from a little tiny town called Turtle Town, Tennessee. I loved spending summer in the mountains. My parents have both passed now and I am in New York state and retired now. You bring back happy childhood memories.
Glad you like them!
I’d love to see the various bean varieties when you shell and cook them
Love the gardening and canning videos!
I love beans and peas of all kinds my sweet great Aunt Josie grew and dried Blackeyed peas and great Uncle Frank raised and smoke his own hogs and man what a feast I can still taste that peas and cornbread she was an amazing cook
I am new to gardening myself. My grandparents always had two big gardens and my parents grew a few things in their back yard because they lived in the city. I live in a housing community outside of Jacksonville so all I have is my backyard. I used a raised bed and about 7 wicking tubs for my vegetables. I had good success with cucumbers, tomatoes, okra and cow peas. Nothing like what you have harvested, but enough to have messes for our supper and I have canned some peas and pickled cucumbers and okra. My grandparents always grew purple hull peas and crowder peas. I couldn’t find either of those to plant but did plant two containers of cowpeas. When fully ready for harvest the peas are about 1/2 inch long and a pretty yellow color with a black center. They are so good when cooked down with a piece of salt pork and a tsp of sugar added. They are beginning to die back but are also putting on new growth and still blooming! So, I am hoping for a few more messes before the first frost. I enjoy watching your videos because they take me back to my childhood days and also give me good tips on what I can do to make better use of my limited space. It is also nice to see you and Matt working together.
Your garden sounds wonderful 😀 So glad you enjoy our videos!
I enjoy watching your channel. I wanted to tell you that my Mom's beets wouldn't come up very good either. An old farmer told her that when you are planting beets put your seeds in your row but before you cover them up have a kettle of boiling water. Pour the boiling water over the seeds and quickly cover them over with dirt. The hot water under the dirt makes the seeds germinate. It works. Mom always had good beets after that.
Great tip!
Nothing better than Appalachian Green Beans! Cooked with pork for an hour or so…..fantastic with cornbread, onions, and mashed potatoes! The Instapot is fantastic for cooking them! We only raised Kentucky Wonder pole beans this year and they are good in the instapot with bacon, a little salt, pepper and little butter! Yummy!
I didn't know there was so many different beans that one thing about y'all ya are always a teaching us and I love when y'all are just sitting and eating y'all fruit popsicles what a treat for good work done ✌️❤️ to y'all
Now, that is a garden!
You're the fastest bean picker I've ran into!! Lol. Love the rattlesnake beans.
😀
Sounds like a lovely rainy day for y'all to just relax! Everyone needs to do that sometimes ❤️☺️ Love y'all!
😀 So true
I grew up eating those fresh field peas. So delicious.💚 My mom used to freeze a lot of them to eat in the winter. They tasted like summer time.
They are so good 😀
My grandfather liked Kentucky Wonder string beans.
That is popular one 😀
Never thought I would say this but I miss picking beans! Never knew how much I love them till I move to Delaware and can’t find them anymore.
Good to see that you got your work done before it started raining hard! I love beans as well and sometimes cook them with new potatoes!
Oh they are so good that way 😀
Those look like what we call pink eye purple hulls ... Very tasty peas. Me and my wife are in our mid 50's and I bought a small compact tractor with a roto tiller to help my 80 year old in-laws with a little farming they have on their 5 acres close to Seagrove NC They grow corn, tomatoes, Okra, Watermelon , beans , potato's, sugar beet and garlic , enjoy your videos, yall take care
Nice time in the garden. You sure got a lot of beans again! Still waiting on the tomatoes. Tell Matt my Dad had 4 daughters. There was a man that knew about imbalances! 😄❤️🇨🇦
😀
Y'all have the best garden that I've ever seen! I've never heard of rattlesnake beans! They look so healthy like all of your harvest!
Thank you for your wonderful channel Tipper! Seat🏔tle kin!
God Bless 🙏🏽♥️
P.S. Granny and I just loved beets 🥰
Thank you for another beautiful and pleasant video! I recently moved to Ireland for graduate school (I'm originally from Kentucky), and have turned to your videos daily for a little bit of the comfort of home. I can't wait to share my love for Appalachia and your videos with my friends here in Ireland. Be well 💕
So glad we give you a piece of home 😀
You two work so well together. You have made that garden work so well for you all. Do enjoy your videos Tipper. It’s a bright spot in my life. Got a lot going on here. Keep me in prayers please.
Thank you Charles! I will be praying for you 😀
Matt is hilarious! I get Hangry as well. But the comment about hormones really got me good!! 😂😂😂
I didn't realize just how funny Matt was.
👍
I’m from Connecticut so I don’t have a lot of knowledge of how you do things. But when I was a young girl I would go with my grandmother to my great grandfathers house in Kentucky. We’d pick green beans and she’d cook them with a hammock and potatoes for a long time. They were so good. I love your channel. I’m trying to convince my husband that we don’t need grass in our yard.
😀 Sounds like good cooking Leslie! Thank you for watching!
Y'all are making me homesick. Nearly every video you put up does.
I stopped in the store after church today and watermelons are 7.48!!! I thought last week at 5.78 they were expensive. They stayed thers!! Love your videos. I love beets!! God bless.
Yikes that is high. So glad you enjoy our videos 😀
We call them butter beans! 🙂 I love them. 🙌🏼 Loved this, thank you Tipper, Matt!
I could, like Matt mentioned, eat a big ol' bowl full of butterbeans, easily and be happy. oh great, now i'm not going to be satisfied till i cook up a pot of butterbeans. yaaaay
@@darlingusa2pettee57 💓 I think I'll do the same!
"BEANS, BEANS ..GOOD FOR YOUR HEART . THE MORE YOU EAT , THE MORE YOU FART . THE MORE YOU FART , THE BETTER YOU FEEL , SO EAT BEANS AT EVERY MEAL ! " - Mom in the kitchen cooking.. 🤘😌 . those were the days .
I am a new subscriber to this channel and to your daughters' channel. I live a a nursing home, so I don't garden, can, or cook. However, I am glad I found you. I am a life-long Arkansan, but my mother's people migrated from Tennessee and my father's from Kentucky. Your lifestyle, foods, and speech are very familiar to me. I could pass one of those word tests you give your girls! I just watched a video you posted back in May where you made a dish you called kilt lettuce. We always called it wilted lettuce and added thinly sliced radishes. So good! Thank you for the work you put into this channel.
Thank you for subscribing! So glad you enjoy our videos! Sounds like we have much in common 😀
God bless all here.
I've tried starting beets twice in the past month or so. None have come up yet. My Mississippi pink eyes are making good. Getting a second flush on my bushes. Wish I had more also. They're very good.
You have such fine garden. There reminds me of. My dads garden. We grew all kinds of stuff growing beans peas okra. Yellow sweet corn and silver queen. Cucumbers. Carrots. And even cantaloupe sometimes.
Thank you Duane! His garden sounds wonderful 😀
Your garden still looking good. Lol hormones. We love Butterbeans. Thank you for sharing hope you have a great week
Wonderful to chat with you in the garden. When you mentioned Granny it brought to mind a question. Did you or Granny remember anything about “Granny Witches”? They were the healers of isolated people with knowledge of plants and such. They birthed babies and treated other health issues.
Thank you David 😀 I've read a lot about Granny women but haven't had the pleasure to know any 😀
Hi Matt and Tipper. You know yours and the girls videos are quite relaxing , but since you two started the popsicle sitting and chatting , to me is just the ultimate in relaxation. I really look forward to those segments. To bad the cooler weather is coming , but I'm like you folks , I enjoy all seasons. Even our cold central Canadian prairie winters. Maybe there'll be enough warmth there for 1 or 2 more popsicle chit , chats. Love it. Take care to all the family.
Thank you Wally!! We will have to come up with a winter alternative 😀
You guys are just the best!
You are so kind-thank you 😀
Love the popsicle pow wows.
I love your popsicle breaks.
Garden and beans are looking good. Enjoy the tenderloin 👍
Tyall
Thank you Will 😀
Matt is one cool dude.
My family in lower South Carolina near Myrtle beach grow both colored and white butterbeans and usually mixed in with peas. Where I lived 2 hrs away no one ate colored butterbeans. It’s strange how different people are
You make me won't to move to the smoky mountains it seems so peaceful. I live in london . Thank you for your information and your videos
Watching your videos gives me peace, thank you💗
So glad you enjoy them 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia ❤
I like your popsickle/chat ritual. It reminds me so much of my growing up vacations in the Catskill mountains.cheers!
Learn so much from your videos ❤
Beautiful garden. Wow! Love this video. Heck, I like 'em all. ⚘
We appreciate you 😀
I love fresh green beans with onions bacon and new potatoes
You guys look so relaxed sitting there eating your ice cream it's very nice but Matt on the other hand it's itching to get on the deer stand you can see that left leg just bouncing:)
Thank you 😀 Yes he is getting anxious 😀
Looks like a great day, I enjoy watching your videos
Love pinkeyes. My family favorite.
Sending y'all love and best wishes for a good holiday tomorrow and good week after! Love from Memphis!
Thanks
Matt is a very smart man. Hormones am what they are.
❤
😀
We love the Cherokee trail of tears. Only beans we have grown in last few years. Great to eat fresh. dry or can.
Peace to my heart and soul
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Down here in Southeast Texas we have two seasons for tomatoes. Early March harvesting in June/ July. The a second Early August harvesting late October/November. If the hurricanes don't flood them out.
The more I see your garden and property I see how beautiful it is! I really like that area where the steps are too. so lovely. I trust you enjoyed your deer dinner with all the fixin's! Have a great week!
Thank you! We did enjoy it 😀
Enjoyed the video! We call them "butterbeans" as well. My grandma had an old cast iron pot that she used to cook butterbeans and peas in on the wood stove. They were so good we'd eat the leftovers for breakfast sometimes. Tipper, did you ever hear the song, Butterbeans, by Little David Wilkins? If not, you should look it up on TH-cam and listen. It is quite funny!
I looked it up-thank you for telling me about it! So enjoyed the song 😀
Inspiring as always
I grow MS Silverskin peas, and they’re more of a vine/climbing type, but mine did weird this year too. Didn’t do anything in the dry and the big heat in late June and July, but since Aug came and the rains started back up, they’ve grown like crazy. Yours may have another spell of producing!
Thanks for sharing your gardening videos ☺️
So glad you enjoy them 😀
I want popsicle. Great harvest. I love green beans. It's different weather here too usually cold. I am harvesting but I have little container garden. It adds up every day
LOVE YALL❤🎉
Your garden is still looking good, Tipper. I'm especially impressed with your second planting of beans. We tried something similar for the first time. After harvesting garlic in the first week of July, we planted pole beans in that bed. Although we don't have beans yet, they are beginning to flower. The bed is against the south side of the house, so we're hoping the overhang will protect them from the first frost. What a thrill it would be to get two crops!
How are your Celebrity tomatoes coming?
Oh I hope you do get some late beans Roland 😀 I have several tomatoes-none ripe yet but I'm hopeful at least some of them will ripen 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia That's great, Tipper. I do hope you get a second crop. When frost threatens, perhaps you could drag those bags into the green house.
@@rolandpinette9946 I plant to do just that 😀
My favorite couple to spend time with. Thanks for sharing. God bless you two.
You are so kind-thank you 😀
Looks like a good hall! God Bless. Jean
Love your videos! Soothing and comforting! Keep on picking! Blessings!!🎉🎇🙏🎈🎆🤩😍🙏🙏🙏
So nice! Beautiful garden.
Thank you 😀
It's adorable the way you guys "toast" your Popsicles. Your channel in general has such positive vibes!
Thanks for sharing! Enjoyed ! Yeah , those peas are milder tasting, very good ! I love butter beans too. Wishing your fall garden much success! Appreciate y'all...God bless..🙏❤
A good morning in the garden.
also this... I'm happy your garden came out good this year... those beans look delicious... take care y'all God bless you.
Nice harvest🥰
I really enjoy spending time with you guys in your garden. You are such lovely hosts!😊🇨🇦
Thank you Gary 😀
