The lesson is: You have to work the land and have faith in it. As you work it, its strength grows. It becomes more productive. There are life lessons there.
How relieved y'all must be to have your garden planted & now are ready for the rewards of it. I know that Granny really appreciated you planting her garden also. Y'all work so hard for not only yourselves but for others as well. It's so heartwarming to see families like yours doing the right things in life. God bless you all & prayers for Miss Cindy today & into the night. Hugs!
Love your accent, the language you use, your humour and your down to earth approach to life. I'm Scottish and love hearing words we still use here. You and your family are a great advert for ordinary American folk.
Yay...planting is done!! Now to sit back and watch it all flourish. You all wore me out just watching you. May it be bountiful, and the flowering plants give color and wonderful scents everywhere. Bless each one of you and a double portion for Miss Cindy. 🙏
I love sitting with y'all in the backyard, listening as you chat. Thanks for having us! I laughed so hard watching Corie eat her melted popsicle! Matt is quite funny. I'm still praying for Miss Cindy, wondering how she is. I can easily picture Granny 'helping' move the table because my mom would have done the same thing.
I think I remember reading a book that talked about "preacher beans." They were called that because they were able to cook up quickly when the preacher showed up for dinner. Love watching you plant out your garden! Everything is so pretty, green, and lush in the hills of Appalachia.
Glad your garden is in. Love you guys when you do your sit and chats. Its like having neighbors or family visiting. Many Blessings and prayers for you all, especially Miss Cindy.
You all got a lot of work done. Matt finished the popsicle first this time he is back on track. Ever since Matt mentioned those little Debbie peanut butter cakes a couple videos ago. I had to go out any buy me a box. As always we are continuing prayer for Miss Cindy and your entire family.
I am 58 and haven’t planted a garden for 15 years. You gave me the inspiration to plant a garden this year. Looking forward to canning tomato juice this year. While my garden is not as extensive as yours. I’m going to walk before I run. Thanks
I am 58 and have not had a garden since 1998. I grew up on a truck farm in New Jersey . Last year was my first garden and it is here in Appalachia western north Carolina.i still have a green thumb and it is so much more garden friendly than my last garden in Kansas. This year Im growing abundence

I am living vicariously through your garden videos this season, as our house has sold and we are moving to the North Carolina coast this summer. Until I can get into our new house and establish some places to plant, it's the farm stand and your beautiful garden to sustain me. Wishing you a bountiful harvest!
I love watching your videos. Today my 3rd plantings of Beans started to rise. I planted each planting about 2 weeks apart hoping it would extend my picking season. I'm so very excited because All these are from last years saved beans.
I’ve never seen so many different kinds of beans. I can hardly wait until they start growing. I feel like I have planted them right beside you, and now anticipating their growth. Butter beans are my favorite, but green beans are my all time favorite
Gardening is a practice, you’re never finished learning, and you have to learn by trying, but it is it’s own reward, the best gardener is the one having the most fun and your legacy is in the information you share and the others who are enthused by it
There are little pearls in every video you all put out. My favorite here was Tipper telling Corie about the pumpkins. If you dont plant any, then its guaranteed youre not gonna grow any! ❤ As far as Little Debbie goes, it's the Banana Twins for me! Corie - dates stuffed with cream cheese and drizzled with honey. Delicious!
Been thinking about cooking blackeyed peas, then I but some in water over night- about a doz. put them in little cups of dirt, their growing fine. now to plant then in my chair garden. I have a good size tree branch with arms which I'll put in the middle of the container for the beans to grow up on. Now I got cow peas on my mind. Sure enjoyed our visit. God Bless. Jean cow peas-- 😊
Well, here's my two bits, Tipper/Matt and girls: I love watching all of you as well! There is something about the easiness and love you have for each other which is a balm to my soul. Hugs and love to you from north central Saskatchewan, Canada!
Speckled butter beans. I cant help but think of my grandmother, us picking vegetables from their garden and eating many a meal as a kid from their kitchen table and the big built in window fan blowing, before ac. My tiny garden is doing well. It’s such an accomplishment when you see your first blooms and buds. I know your garden will be beautiful and abundant. Have a good week!
I bet ya'll are all bundled up today as it's cold in NC. " We're still going to eat them but they have to go through the chickens first ".... I love that you said that. I can hear Matt's mallet hitting the rocks as he hoes but the soil looks really good. I can taste that squash for sure. I like it in a cheese casserole. I can see you thinking Tipper as you visualize how big things will grow in the spaces where they will go. I can do that too. I'm just tickled pink for ya'll. Bravo sweet family. I'm proud of ya'll.
Rubbing alcohol removes permanent marker. If u want to reuse those plastic plant markers for different seeds next year, try wiping them down with some 90% isopropyl alcohol
Purell hand sanitizer also removes permanent marker. It is a gel form of ethyl alcohol. It doesn't evaporate as fast as rubbing alcohol. It also smells better and doesn't dry the oils out of you skin as bad.
I agree with Matt nothing taster then did meat . I grew up eating it at my wife’s Granny fixed it every day she would fix it in the cook stove oven and all the people up thru the hollow eat and lots of them lived to be in there 90’s .I’m 71 and my Cholesterol is not high.
My sister and I absolutely cracked up when Matt called raisin cream pies "tick pies". In our family we have tick pie (raisin pie), tick cookies, and tick biscuits. Two thumbs up from us!! 😂. We adore you all. Sending prayers.
We planted zucchini, pumpkins, watermelon, squash, peas, okra, tomatoes. I love watching it all grow, Your garden looks great. Have a happy Memorial weekend
You better give Matt a huge hug and a kiss. When you are filming and narrating he his working his tail off. I’m tired just watching him. Can’t wait to see how your garden turns out. Speaking of which back to weeding.
I saw the speckled Butterbeans makes me remember one of my favorite meals was the Butterbeans fried okra and creamed field corn with good cornbread onion and sweet pickles and fresh cows milk we always had a cow brings back good memories
"tick pie" Hahahaha!! You guys crack me up! I'm so glad you allow us to listen to these sweet conversations and recollections. Thank you. Can't wait to watch your garden grow!
I listen to this video last evening, as I do listen in the evenings, pretty much the last thing before going to bed, because you make me smile make me happy, and show me that the world really isn’t as dark as it often seems. Love to you all and prayers for Miss Cindy that God makes her way easy and painless on her journey home.
Another great video for the books. Sitting and talking with family gives you such a warm feeling of contentment, and I find myself wanting to join the conversation. There’s nothing as special as that. Love and blessings to you all, especially Miss Cindy❤
This is my best part of my evening relaxing to your videos. Matt is really showing his inner humor. Changed my mind thought he was Shy but he has a really sly wit. Love when he shares abut his tools,
I love these videos when you sit and have a popsicle after your work. I guess I just enjoy all your videos. I hope you don't shorten them. Your garden is beautiful, and I'm glad you planted purple hulls, I'm gonna have some too. We have 2 plum trees and always have the best plums for jelly. Matt my Dad taught us to never get below half a tank. I tell my grandson that now. You wouldn't believe it but out here in Ca. at least where we live people are buying more and more old cars. My grandson has a 65 Mustang.
When Matt said, Whoooo Rick Flair! I busted out laughing 🤣! I remember my brother watching wrestling. Happy you got your garden and Granny’s planted. Y’all have had so much on your plate lately. Praying it all grows well for you. Corie, I’ve had dates that someone made with a cream cheese mixture inside and wrapped in bacon and baked! Yum! Continued prayers for your entire family! God bless y’all! 😀❤️
Thank you for bringing your bright smiles & sweet souls to Knoxville on Saturday. Beautiful mother & daughters. Knoxville is still glowing. Prayers & blessings to all your family. Love my cookbook. 🥰🙏
I made the date snickers bar: date filled with peanut butter dipped in melted chocolate and topped with chopped almonds. Not exactly a snickers, but very good. You need to refrigerate them to set up before you eat them.😊
I just found your channel a week ago, and I'm hooked! What a lovely place to live and what a lovely family you've got! We were blessed to live in SW Virginia for a few years. I am from South Dakota, but when I stepped on Virginia soil for the first time, I was in love with the south and later it’s people. If it wasn't for our grandchildren living up here in the north, I'd move back to the south in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful channel!
I love watching you...I love that your family is so tight knit. I am on home oxygen and can't do the gardening, but I love to watch you plant and grow so many things. If more families lived like you do I am sure this world would be better. What I really wanted to say was Tipper....eat your popsicle!!
We loved meeting you and the girls in Knoxville. My wife and I love both y’all’s channels. I was the man that brought Katie the rocks. I hope she can use them.
Thank you for taking me along on your planting day. Now this week I will start on mine. Rhode Island is not quite as warm as your area. As always take care and prayers for all.❤️
Here's a recipe for Fancy Beans on Toast for an easy mid-late summer meal. Pan fry some bacon until crispy then remove from the skillet. Add some butter to the bacon fat and saute a sliced leek and a couple chopped garlic cloves. In a another pan, blanch some broad beans, lima beans, sweet peas, and pearl onions then strain well and add to the skillet with the leek and garlic and toss the bacon back in. Grill or toast some sourdough and top with the fancy beans, salt & pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and top with some shards of parmesan cheese. Sometimes I add some halved cherry tomatoes and a splash of vinegar. Delish!
I love watching you planting everything I really wish that my dad was alive ..when i was a youngster dad would sit me in the rows of peas and feed me beans,snow peas,carrots....apparently i wouldnt eat cooked vegies at all,i still love to eat vegies raw but i also love vegies cooked now..prayers for miss cindy,and all of you..❤❤❤❤ 11:11
It was so nice meeting you and the girls at the Mast General store in Knoxville yesterday! We love the cookbook and can't wait to get our kitchen smelling so good!
The comment about spoofing a song reminded me of the video I saw about Willie Nelson when he wrote “Crazy “ he started singing it he said “Stupid “. Could you ever hear that song the crazy version ever again without hearing “ stupid “. We’re glad you got the garden in.
We never had much of a garden in WV when I was growing up. My Mother worker full time as did my Dad. So we always had a few tomato plants &!a number of rows of Silver ?Queen corn , I was the water girl. BUT all y’all have shown me that putting in a garden is HARD WORk. In WV just west of Charleston was a huge outdoor market where u could get anything u wanted. Baskets of green beans, peaches, watermelons & they would cut a plug in it to see if it was ripe enough, & on really special occasions Mother would find a basket of Damson Plums that she would make into preserves, if she wasn’t too busy she would take the time to remove the big seed, otherwise when it was time to top off a big spoon full on ur biscuit u could bite down on the preserves & hope to not lose a tooth. Again ur hard work reminds me to thank all the migrant workers who cultivate so much of r vegetables & fruit.
Your garden looks so good…lot of hard work getting it all planted! I hope it will produce a bounty of goodness for y’all! Popsicle time…love it! Rest some now! God bless and love to all! 💕🤗🙏🏻
Love your garden. I’ve never even had a hobby until I started watching your channel. Now I have a small garden and flowers all around my house. My husband has also said that my cooking had gotten better lol.
i just got out of the hospital but tonight i grabbed some ice cream and ate along with you. sitting here listening to my family talking gardening. Thank you Tipper, still praying for miss Cindy
Tick Cakes. I am laughing my head off. Just like the popsicle Matt make a laugh about. The coconut one he said make him think of toenails. Hahahaha. Happy Day to The Pressley's.
Great video, as always! I love peas! When I was in high school, we were transferred to MD with my Dad's job. My Mom asked around if there were any farms that grew crowders. We were missing them so much! Sure enough, she was told of a lady who grew a big field of crowder peas every year. Anyway, the lady said sure, we could come pick. We did, and then spent some time visiting with the lady. She told us that she had never had anyone out to pick them, they did not eat them and that she grew them for the deer! That whole huge field of peas! Let me just say, we were in hog heaven!
I love your idea of planting an experimental bed. I think I’m going to “borrow” your idea and plant an experimental grow bag. Gonna try a new green bean called Livingston Sure Crop and Cherry Falls Tomatoes that look like Sweet Million. If anyone here has planted either of them let me know how they did. Thanks again for coming to Knoxville, everyone on the line with me was so happy you came. - Susan from TN
I was born in No. Carolina but consider myself from Georgia. I thought I knew about every bean and pea out there. The white one "paint horse" is a new one on me.
Loved getting to meet y’all Saturday in Knoxville. Thanks for taking to time to talk with my wife and I. I know you feel good finally having the garden in!
When you were about to plant more, another way to say it "same song, second verse"!! Talking about good things to eat,snacks,dates,a good Christmas candy-like is dates with half pecan or walnut in it, cream cheese. And you could dip in chocolate.
Brings back memories of my little garden in Ohio! I used to buy a bushel for pickles from farms or roadside markets. One year I took my pickles to compete at the Fulton County Fair! I got a blue ribbon! Brings tears to my eyes now! Thanks for sharing! I’m gardening through you now!
I got excited when I heard you say you were planting some purple hull peas! I'm from NW Louisiana and when I first moved to Virginia and went looking for purple hull peas nobody around here new what I was talking about. They even have a purple hull pea festival in Arkansas but not many folks around Raonoke, Virginia have ever heard of them.
Outshine needs to make a banana popsicle! That would be so good with little chunks of banana in it. Yum I’m so glad I suggested the rattlesnake beans a few years ago. You might not have gotten the idea just from me but it still makes my heart happy that y’all like them so well. We’ve grown them about 35 years or more and my father in law did before me. Mine are about halfway up the cow panel archway. Can’t wait for that first harvest. Best of the year to me. I need to make you a counter quilt to put your hot jars on when you take them out of the canner. Can’t remember if I’ve sent you one already but never hurts to have a new one. Bless you and your whole family.
Congratulations on getting all the planting for y'all and Granny too! I know you feel so good about that. Now comes the best part, watching it grow and eating all the delicious bounty!
My grandmother made date loaves every Christmas season. She'd wrap them in aluminum foil and put a red ribbon on them and we would present them to our teachers. Every year a teacher had one of us in class, she'd comment that she couldn't wait for her Christmas date loaf bread.
Tipper that was so lovely watching you planning and planting I love all kinds of beans I am so excited some of the bush beans and soup beans I planted in pots are starting to come up also I am going to try potato skins planting You are a Blessing and an encouragement experience is the best expert

If I have ever seen a happy family!!! I have seen y'all!!! Bless y'all!!!!
How relieved y'all must be to have your garden planted & now are ready for the rewards of it. I know that Granny really appreciated you planting her garden also. Y'all work so hard for not only yourselves but for others as well. It's so heartwarming to see families like yours doing the right things in life. God bless you all & prayers for Miss Cindy today & into the night. Hugs!
Always love talk Time!!!! Would love to be there taking part in your rest time.
Love watching the planting day…love the raised beds…do you ever have so much vegetables that you can sell? Love that you do Grannies planting.
Thank you! We don’t sell any but we do share with others 😊
Nows the time to get your jars ready, for canning.
Love your accent, the language you use, your humour and your down to earth approach to life. I'm Scottish and love hearing words we still use here. You and your family are a great advert for ordinary American folk.
Wow, thank you!
TollxTim yes we still use words here in the US that the scottish immigrants brought with them. ❤
Yay...planting is done!! Now to sit back and watch it all flourish. You all wore me out just watching you. May it be bountiful, and the flowering plants give color and wonderful scents everywhere. Bless each one of you and a double portion for Miss Cindy. 🙏
I have watched this video of planting beans twice. Learn something new every time.
I love sitting with y'all in the backyard, listening as you chat. Thanks for having us! I laughed so hard watching Corie eat her melted popsicle! Matt is quite funny. I'm still praying for Miss Cindy, wondering how she is. I can easily picture Granny 'helping' move the table because my mom would have done the same thing.

We so enjoyed meeting you! Matt loves the knife!! Eve was so sweet 😀
I like your Red, White and Blue buckets since tomorrow is Memorial Day. ❤️

Do you want me to help you eat out your garden? Just asking

I am in central Alberta I love watching too. I think it's because they have such a long growing season....lol.
Thank you!!

Yum yum! We need to start visiting you (at supper time).
Great job planting, I am looking forward to the first garden tour. Coconut is my favorite popsicle, Granny is so precious .
Thank you Brenda 😀
Corie, loved watching you gobble that popsicle. Sweet family, my prayers are with you as you care for Matt’s Mom. Blessings, as always.
You better give Matt a huge hug and a kiss. When you are filming and narrating he his working his tail off. I’m tired just watching him. Can’t wait to see how your garden turns out. Speaking of which back to weeding.
I saw the speckled Butterbeans makes me remember one of my favorite meals was the Butterbeans fried okra and creamed field corn with good cornbread onion and sweet pickles and fresh cows milk we always had a cow brings back good memories
That sounds like a feast 😀
I'm so looking forward to watch how your gardens develop in the coming months. Such hard work invested will lead to a great bounty.
"tick pie" Hahahaha!! You guys crack me up! I'm so glad you allow us to listen to these sweet conversations and recollections. Thank you. Can't wait to watch your garden grow!
❤I love the patriotic red white and blue buckets! 😊❤
Love this video🎉❤😊❤
Thank you Debbie 😀

what a hard working family, I cant wait to see you harvest this wonderful garden, rest well
This is my best part of my evening relaxing to your videos.

What a great team you two make! Just wish we could plant all the lovely things you plant outside here in the UK 🇬🇧 You are blessed! 😊😊
Thank you for bringing your bright smiles & sweet souls to Knoxville on Saturday. Beautiful mother & daughters. Knoxville is still glowing. Prayers & blessings to all your family. Love my cookbook. 🥰🙏
I love seeing you and your family work together to make good food for you all! Ya’ll are an inspiration!
Matt’s boot on the beans, more like a “stomp” of approval. 🤣 I cracked myself up. Love y’all!
😀
I made the date snickers bar: date filled with peanut butter dipped in melted chocolate and topped with chopped almonds. Not exactly a snickers, but very good. You need to refrigerate them to set up before you eat them.😊
I just found your channel a week ago, and I'm hooked! What a lovely place to live and what a lovely family you've got! We were blessed to live in SW Virginia for a few years.

If it wasn't for our grandchildren living up here in the north, I'd move back to the south in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful channel!
Thanks so much! 😊
I think it's wonderful that y'all plant for Granny. I miss my garden so much
I love watching you...I love that your family is so tight knit. I am on home oxygen and can't do the gardening, but I love to watch you plant and grow so many things. If more families lived like you do I am sure this world would be better. What I really wanted to say was Tipper....eat your popsicle!!
I vote for horse and wagons.💕👍🙏🇺🇸Have a safe Memorial Day weekend.
Thank you April!!
We loved meeting you and the girls in Knoxville. My wife and I love both y’all’s channels. I was the man that brought Katie the rocks. I hope she can use them.
We so enjoyed meeting you!! Katie loves the rocks-thank you!!
Thank you for taking me along on your planting day. Now this week I will start on mine. Rhode Island is not quite as warm as your area. As always take care and prayers for all.❤️
So glad you enjoyed the video 😀
At least your family's not going to starve.
I love the garden. 👍
Great days work. ❤️🙏
You thumb nail the funniest! Matt finally acting like a girl for “ a second” was priceless. ❤️😂😎🥰
Garden looks great 👍 prayers for a good harvest and prayers for Miss Cindy!

@@CelebratingAppalachia I almost forgot.... I add a little fresh chopped basil to the fancy beans too.
Wish I was sitting there with you under the cool trees and listening to the birds and the wind. ❤
I love watching you planting everything I really wish that my dad was alive ..when i was a youngster dad would sit me in the rows of peas and feed me beans,snow peas,carrots....apparently i wouldnt eat cooked vegies at all,i still love to eat vegies raw but i also love vegies cooked now..prayers for miss cindy,and all of you..❤❤❤❤ 11:11
I feel the same way Matt does about newer cars and trucks.
😀 They are so expensive!
I could listen to yall sit and talk all day
It was so nice meeting you and the girls at the Mast General store in Knoxville yesterday! We love the cookbook and can't wait to get our kitchen smelling so good!
So nice meeting you too 😀
Whew, bet you're exhausted, garden all planted. Love how you "clink" your popcicles!
My husband and I always fill the gas tank when 1/2 a tank...It's just our habit...Can't wait for fresh tomatoes again...God Bless y'all 🙏🙏🙏
I just love your family and how you get excited over your gardens I too feel the same.❤ Here's to a great haverst...
Thank you so much 😀
The comment about spoofing a song reminded me of the video I saw about Willie Nelson when he wrote “Crazy “ he started singing it he said “Stupid “. Could you ever hear that song the crazy version ever again without hearing “ stupid “. We’re glad you got the garden in.
We never had much of a garden in WV when I was growing up. My Mother worker full time as did my Dad. So we always had a few tomato plants &!a number of rows of Silver ?Queen corn , I was the water girl. BUT all y’all have shown me that putting in a garden is HARD WORk. In WV just west of Charleston was a huge outdoor market where u could get anything u wanted. Baskets of green beans, peaches, watermelons & they would cut a plug in it to see if it was ripe enough, & on really special occasions Mother would find a basket of Damson Plums that she would make into preserves, if she wasn’t too busy she would take the time to remove the big seed, otherwise when it was time to top off a big spoon full on ur biscuit u could bite down on the preserves & hope to not lose a tooth. Again ur hard work reminds me to thank all the migrant workers who cultivate so much of r vegetables & fruit.
Your garden looks so good…lot of hard work getting it all planted! I hope it will produce a bounty of goodness for y’all! Popsicle time…love it! Rest some now! God bless and love to all! 💕🤗🙏🏻
I recently retired, worked last 8 years in hospice here in Brevard Cty FLA. 3rd year leading to grow things 😉Love your whole family ❤
Oh my what and exciting day, can hear the excitement and antipatation in your voice,
Must be such joy to get done and watch the new sprout
pitted dates stuffed with smoked provalone cheese wrapped in bacon baked in the oven is the best... so good
Tipper, you and your family always brighten my day. I look forward to your videos! Thank you!
Love your garden. I’ve never even had a hobby until I started watching your channel. Now I have a small garden and flowers all around my house. My husband has also said that my cooking had gotten better lol.
i just got out of the hospital but tonight i grabbed some ice cream and ate along with you. sitting here listening to my family talking gardening. Thank you Tipper, still praying for miss Cindy
Sorry you've been in the hospital! I will be praying for you 😀
Tick Cakes. I am laughing my head off. Just like the popsicle Matt make a laugh about. The coconut one he said make him think of toenails. Hahahaha. Happy Day to The Pressley's.
Great video, as always! I love peas! When I was in high school, we were transferred to MD with my Dad's job. My Mom asked around if there were any farms that grew crowders. We were missing them so much! Sure enough, she was told of a lady who grew a big field of crowder peas every year. Anyway, the lady said sure, we could come pick. We did, and then spent some time visiting with the lady. She told us that she had never had anyone out to pick them, they did not eat them and that she grew them for the deer! That whole huge field of peas! Let me just say, we were in hog heaven!
Oh goodness! 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia yes! She sold us those peas for about 18 cents a pound! LOL... this was back in the '70s 🤣
I love your idea of planting an experimental bed. I think I’m going to “borrow” your idea and plant an experimental grow bag. Gonna try a new green bean called Livingston Sure Crop and Cherry Falls Tomatoes that look like Sweet Million. If anyone here has planted either of them let me know how they did. Thanks again for coming to Knoxville, everyone on the line with me was so happy you came. - Susan from TN
Thank you Susan! Was so nice to be there and meet you and everyone else 😀
Love it! I really enjoy the ending when y'all just sit down and talk 😊. Amazing how we're all the same!
I was raised on a garden.Fresh butters beans corn,and tomatoes are my best.
I was born in No. Carolina but consider myself from Georgia. I thought I knew about every bean and pea out there. The white one "paint horse" is a new one on me.
Loved getting to meet y’all Saturday in Knoxville. Thanks for taking to time to talk with my wife and I.
I know you feel good finally having the garden in!
Wonderful to meet y’all too 😀
When you were about to plant more, another way to say it "same song, second verse"!!
Talking about good things to eat,snacks,dates,a good Christmas candy-like is dates with half pecan or walnut in it, cream cheese. And you could dip in chocolate.
I really enjoy hearing you conversation at the end of your videos.
Corie cracked us up trying to eat that popsicle! 😂
Brings back memories of my little garden in Ohio! I used to buy a bushel for pickles from farms or roadside markets. One year I took my pickles to compete at the Fulton County Fair! I got a blue ribbon! Brings tears to my eyes now! Thanks for sharing! I’m gardening through you now!
I got excited when I heard you say you were planting some purple hull peas! I'm from NW Louisiana and when I first moved to Virginia and went looking for purple hull peas nobody around here new what I was talking about. They even have a purple hull pea festival in Arkansas but not many folks around Raonoke, Virginia have ever heard of them.
Corrie, stuff a date with cream cheese, wrap them with bacon slices and bake in the oven until the bacon is done. They make great appetizers.
I love when you play around at the end !! So miss my mom and dad 😢 Prayers as always for family 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🤍💙
I'm sorry you lost them! Thank you!!
Outshine needs to make a banana popsicle! That would be so good with little chunks of banana in it. Yum I’m so glad I suggested the rattlesnake beans a few years ago. You might not have gotten the idea just from me but it still makes my heart happy that y’all like them so well. We’ve grown them about 35 years or more and my father in law did before me. Mine are about halfway up the cow panel archway. Can’t wait for that first harvest. Best of the year to me. I need to make you a counter quilt to put your hot jars on when you take them out of the canner. Can’t remember if I’ve sent you one already but never hurts to have a new one. Bless you and your whole family.
I’m so glad you suggested them 😀
I have stuffed large dates with shaved Parmesan cheese and wrapped them in bacon and baked them until bacon is done. Great appetizer for holidays
Matt is such a hard worker.
Tipper, you are making me homesick!
Thanks Matt for telling us about peanut butter Lil Debbie’s!!! Found them at our grocery store! Box is gone already! Will definitely get more!
Congratulations on getting all the planting for y'all and Granny too! I know you feel so good about that. Now comes the best part, watching it grow and eating all the delicious bounty!
My grandmother made date loaves every Christmas season. She'd wrap them in aluminum foil and put a red ribbon on them and we would present them to our teachers. Every year a teacher had one of us in class, she'd comment that she couldn't wait for her Christmas date loaf bread.
Tipper that was so lovely watching you planning and planting I love all kinds of beans I am so excited some of the bush beans and soup beans I planted in pots are starting to come up also I am going to try potato skins planting
You are a Blessing and an encouragement experience is the best expert
