I can “feel” south Appalachian fall just from hearing and seeing. Momma would say, “the shadows are lookin’ long”. A sign of fall.
Love that 😀
The shadows are looking long indeed!
Our squash and onions are just okay...seems bees are at a minimum this year.
Probably the secret of why we enjoy your videos so much is you remind us of the basic lessons so many of us were taught. Kindness, purpose, concern for our families and neighbors, hard work and humor. You and your family are wonderful examples and what we are called to do in life. Thank you for your dedication.
Thank you!!
This past weekend, I got to spend some very special time with two of my grandchildren, ages 7 and 5.
They have always been very attentive to Pawpaw because they know I like to teach them interesting things, especially about the outdoors.
I give them space in my garden and yard each year to grow whatever vegetables they choose. This is the third year they've helped plant and tend a small corn patch. They're so proud to harvest, shuck, and enjoy their buttered ears at Sunday dinner and to share them with family.
Bristol, the 7 year old, wanted watermelons this year too. She has three coming along nicely on her Sugar Baby plant. Austin, like Pawpaw, LOVES vine ripe tomato. His favorite is cherry tomatoes, we've always called tommy toes. He goes straight for the garden and eats them off the vine.
They both are fond of our blueberry patch and grapevine. It's been a good year for both.
They live on a farm about 30 minutes from us and they love everything about it.
After Sunday dinner, they always ask for my battery powered weed eater and leaf blower plus my rakes, shovels, and other tools, even hoes. They're not afraid of sweat and will spend hours "working" in our yard and garden.
I took the damaged mowing deck off a riding mower. Now it's just a small tractor they take turns driving. Austin often needs to get in my tools to work on it.
The special time I spoke of included about 45 minutes we spent at a pulloff on the road side where I introduced them to wild touch me nots. They popped every one they could find and were thrilled.
Moments like these are very special ones they'll remember forever and share with their own families one day. They are priceless.
My Pawpaw Fred did the same for me and my brothers. I think of him almost every day.
Thank you for your channel and for sharing your love of Appalachia, my home too, and for treasuring, honoring, and passing on our heritage to others.
I really enjoyed reading this.
You’re grandkids will really treasure those memories, especially in an age where everyone is so consumed by their electronics.
@@mdstyle All our grandchildren are getting a tremendous amount of love from mom and dad at home, from grandparents, and from aunts and uncles. We all understand how the world has changed tremendously from even the youth of our three adult children. We are all determined to give them the foundations and life skills they will need as they grow up and face many challenges and influences we never had to deal with.
That plus faith and prayer gives us hope that they will rely on what has been instilled in them when times come for making difficult decisions.
Thank you for your kind comments!
@@tlb2732 You are so welcome! I know the challenges well. We have a 15 year old and a 2 1/2 year old and just in those 13 year difference things have changed tremendously. But they were born for such a time as this. And your right if we instill Jesus and good values in them they will do just fine and hopefully be a light in this darkening world.
This is a beautiful way to live and it gives me hope for our future. Thanks for sharing.
I love the memories you conjure up in my old man mind! It seems the sounds were more significant as a kid stretched out across a feather bed with the windows open trying to catch a Kentucky nighttime breeze. The tree frogs, katydids and some years the cicadas seemed to take turns serenading me to sleep. Never had air conditioning so the nights would invade my bedroom with the fog and music of the hills. These days most people never even open a window. There I go rambling again. Your fall garden looks great. I’ve picked many meals of kale and mustard greens in December. Sometimes brushing off the snow. God bless your family.
I enjoyed your rambling...ramble on my friend ❤
Right around 20:31 a butterfly arrives right above your head when you’re about to start talking about noticing the little things in nature ❤ Perfect timing
Love that
I've dried dandelion leaves, comfrey leaves, dill weed , plantain leaves , and basil leaves this year . A good bounty of blessings from our Lord . Mullein takes two years to bloom . A joy to be here with you Tipper 🌺
I'm a senior citizen and a old timers told me to put granular sulfur on my turnip and mustard greens to keep the bugs off. I haven't been able to grow since him told me but I have some planted in a bed this year so I'm going to try it.
Your show is so comforting. I went through a very traumatic event a few months ago and your show is so calming, and positive. I enjoy it so much. ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful garden tour and all you had to say about enjoying the little things in life, Tipper. Thank you. 🙂
Love that your fall garden is doing so good! I love to eat Turnip Greens! I could eat them just about everyday with cornbread! I love cooking Mustard Greens in with my Turnip Greens. Its so good. I love eating Turnips cooked in with the Greens or just peel them and eat with some salt! So good! I love about any kind of Greens tho. Just cook and eat anytime! We always had a huge patch of Turnip Greens and Collard growing! I'd freeze them to have all Winter! We're even put a Tarp over them to keep the Frost off and take it off the next morning! Make them last as long as we could. Thank you Tipper for showing us your garden! I love all the plants! Nothing like living in the Hills, Ridges and Mtns! So much of Gods Creations to help us all.. Praying for Granny everyday. She's so precious! 🙏🙏❤❤
I’m sure many of the subscribers (me being one) would love to go on a walk w/you over to Granny’s house sometime. Your area is just BEAUTIFUL!! What many ppl pray for.😊
I so would!❤
Any and every time I have found myself a little down, I can start listing the blessings all around and it will immediately change my train of thought. Joy truly does come in the morning :-))) You have such a BEAUTIFUL home!!
Love that! Thank you 😀
Your videos are so inspiring and an education.
You spread joy like the beautiful plants you showed us today. You are such a blessing.
Wow, thank you 😀
Mullin...we call them lambs ear here. Wife loves them
I love your sweet comments that pap and granny taught you! It’s so true the little beautiful things that God created for us to enjoy! It causes us to be thankful! I hear that in your words! Praying for your sweet family!, ❤
Since Katie has made the exciting announcement, will you be letting us know your feelings about your first grandbaby? I cant wait to see the next generation in Appalachia! 💖🥰
😀 You can see what I shared on the blog here: blindpigandtheacorn.com/if-well-keep-on-the-sunny-side-of-life/ and sure we'll talk more here too 😀
Hi, I just spent a week in Eastern TN. Enjoyed the mountains, the beautiful views. Enjoyed seeing a good friends beautiful garden. I’m from the Midwest and it’s always so fun to see the plantings that we purchase as annuals and y’all grow as perennials. I so enjoy visiting the beautiful south. 🥰
“The meadow is putting its fall clothes on”the colors are so striking♥️♥️♥️
Such a pretty thought 😀
I pray Katie is feeling well and you can all find joy in your upcoming grandchild adventure.
Everything looks so beautiful... I especially love the "weeds" that are underappreciated by most people. I also love the changing seasons... it's kinda like a new beginning 4 times each year. Thanks Tipper 🤗❤️
I really enjoyed your garden tour, Ms. Tipper. I think it's lovely. I know what you mean about the "little things". Whenever I see anything of interest to me, I always thank the Lord right then for letting me see it and enjoy it. When I was little, I used to follow small bugs in our yard to see where they were going. 😄 To this day, I wonder about so many things our God created for us which all magnify His glory. I love Fall time and I can't wait for your next video. God bless y'all.
Tipper your garden is just so awesome. The camera is getting some beautiful shots . The basil is so green and healthy. The arch is so tall. That Sept charm would be beautiful on the hill. The purple bush is so beautiful. I love your garden. ❤
I enjoy you talking about the different plants, whether it be something you planted yourself, or something that comes up wild and native of the area you live in!
I also enjoy the background sounds. It could put me to sleep.
I never get enough of your garden tours, thank you Tipper! Take care!❤️🇨🇦
Gratitude is always the best prayer and perspective.
My great grandpa always overwintered the coleus cuttings in the washhouse. He was well known for his chicken and noodles and endless pot of mashed potatoes that went with the noodles. We would set in the yard with a plate of noodles surrounded by the coleus.
Love that 😀
Also being from Appalachia (KY) I have been making a point to just simply stop and enjoy the sounds of this time of the year…. SUCH MAGNIFICENT BLESSINGS ❤️
Kentucky is a beautiful place to call home, isn’t it Pippa? I could never live anywhere else but Kentucky, if I ever had to leave though, I’d wanna go to North Carolina after seeing all the beauty the Pressley family shares with us. God has certainly blessed me by letting me be born and raised here in Appalachia. Have a blessed day, Pippa.
Your grandchild will love this area. :)
Thank you 😀
The most pleasant place in the world . Comforting and peaceful. I love it
That opening shot was so well done, and the bit of mist added such wistful beauty to the scenery. Your basil is so green and fresh, a caprese salad with your basil and tomatoes would be divine. Your next book should be about Appalachian gardens.
oh I am so excited to see how the turnips do. Ever since I found your channel Tipper I have been inspired to take more notice of the bountiful beauty that surrounds us, even right in our own backyards. My four year old grandson loves finding the tiny cucumbers and green peppers, he even loves eating raw green beans and the peaches and cream corn as he plays outside, he now calls the garden goodies his Yard Snacks, so he will carry on ya'lls saying for that. That iron weed is just beautiful. Keeping granny in my prayers each day.
Toward the end of your video I saw a butterfly, over your right shoulder, on the "Queen of the Meadow". Then you went on talking about your dad teaching you to be grateful for the little things. I thought how fitting that was. It made me really think about it. I am so grateful for all the little things. I grew up on a small farm and loved it. I'd love to go back to those times but wouldn't want to relive the sorrows. I really appreciate all you do to try to preserve the older ways and sayings of the Appalachia. Thank you! 🙂
Thank you 😊
My seed fennel does really well. Early in the season the greens are a nice addition to a salad. Wish I had jewelweed. Your fall plantings are coming along. Glad to hear you got some zucchini. I had a moment of joy today. Watering and saw a brown (not green) praying mantis on the side of the house. I stepped back and it flew away! I've never seen a praying mantis fly.
Mullen is a bi annual seeder. Should see flowers next year. ❤
Tipper I'm grateful I found your YT page. Thank you for showing your garden and your piece of Appalachia.
Thank you Robin for helping me 😀 We appreciate you!
I LOVE the sounds of the crickets, etc..One of my favorite sounds..
I’m getting ready for my third Melanoma skin cancer surgery tomorrow and the only thing that gives me Peace is you’re, Katie or Cories videos because I can’t sleep! God bless y’all. ❤
Bless you! I will be praying for you ❤️
Fall gardens are our favorite! We love this time of the year. So glad to see & feel the change into the fall of the year. Everything is looking great Miss Tipper. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻
The cooler weather is so nice 😀
I think that we are truly blessed to experience the 4 seasons ❤. I love walking through your garden with you. So until next time. Much love and prayers for you and your family ❤️ 🙏
Tell Granny thanks to her I’ve taken up crocheting and tatting while watching your videos. It makes me homesick for my mountains on Vancouver Island…so until I can move back I just pop on your videos and make some interesting 😂 creations❤
Hey Tipper, Can’t believe it’s already here! I t really went fast- but 🥵 hot! Oh my. You’re garden is a joy to watch & your commentary to listen to besides the insects 🐞. Thanks for sharing. ❤ & prayers . Love Granny - hope to see more of her - her singing with your brother just tickles me! They are the best! The Lampe’s
The fall garden looks amazing. Loved the tour and hearing the chirping crickets in the background! Looking forward to the fall weather!
🍁🤎 🍂
What an abundance! In the SW mtns we only harvested the tomatoes in the greenhouse. The rest didn’t produce after early rain and then deep drought, but we are hopeful for next season. Ah the life of a gardener. 🙏🏻💛
I'm delighted to have stumbled upon your channel unexpectedly. I find solace in the serene woods, relish the casual conversations, and am enriched by the fascinating little tidbits you share. Thank you!
Welcome and thank you 😊
It's been such a hot summer n I'm from Pennsylvania. Thank the Lord we got a good bit of rain.
Mullein, During the first year, it forms a rosette of fuzzy basal leaves, then during the second year, each rosette grows a tall flower spike (anywhere from 2 to 8 feet.
I am happy to know you find so much joy from your garden Tipper! We hope you and Matt have a great weekend.
Thank you Buz 😀
Beautiful garden tour! You can actually smell Fall in the air here. ❤
Tipper, I’m sure you are aware that the
Jewelweed is a medicinal wildflower. Supposedly is beneficial for skin irritation and can be found near where poison Ivy grows which is very mysterious. I love all your tips and pointers and your garden is awesome, sad that the summer crops are almost gone. Bless you and your family 😊
Yeah, I can see it and feel it.. the full day and night of thunder ⚡ storms has brought the cooler mornings ..
I always think of how wonderful the change of seasons, God knew the joy that each season would bring with its different and vast array of colors. Seems as though just for our pleasure. I remember my Great Grandmother had Touch me Nots in her flower bed and it did entertain us to pop them. Hers were of a light pink variety, I have since found some seed and had them in my landscape. I would love the color you have, just beautiful. Iron weed... I did not know the name but we were just talking about how beautiful, they come up in our yard at the edge of the woods here in TN. I enjoyed this video!
Hi Tipper, this is Judy in knoxville tn. Congratulations to be coming a grandmother. Grandchildren are so fantastic. I only have one wish I had more. Praying for your mother and Katie's pregnancy. Still loving your channel, keep it coming.😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much 😀
Mullein is a biannual, it flowers in the second year. It will grow very tall, also.
I just love your gardens 😍
You really have a wonderful fall garden, Tipper! The many lovely plants are wonderful for so many months of the year! You will be enjoying most of them right up into winter! I’m still thinking of your sweet Mother making the tasty fried corn! My dear Mother also made it, yet I didn’t watch carefully. I’m so glad I saw Granny’s, as it is very clear and I will be looking back on it many times in the future! ❤
I've always loved jewel weed. We never knew what it was called as kids, so we just called them "poppy flowers"! 😊
I always think of you folks while I’m tending to my flowers and small garden on my very urban balcony! Fall is in the air and this was a lovely video.
That sound is wonderful..we call them “fall bugs”…Our County fair just went through and we know that means Summer is over…..
Your garden is still producing. Them beets will taste real good come winter.
That was a beautiful tour of your beautiful garden Tipper. Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you lovely lady.Hugs.
I certainly enjoyed the garden tour, y’all have work hard and harvested a lot of food. I was thinking when I was a child , I lived in North Alabama we had several gardens. I thought about the mullein we had a big cow pasture and it grew everywhere. You have show many flowers I’ve never seen. They are and were beautiful. Thank you for all the hard work you and you family do, to inform us. ❤️
I love how your garden is such a beautiful thing to enjoy. I love the seasons too
Your garden looks like an early fall garden. The weeds and herbs are beautiful. Here in middle TN we have four distinct seasons as well. I am so thankful!
Thanks for sharing Tipper!
I too live in Middle Tn and love all the seasons, so thankful!
I’ve lived vicariously through your garden this year. It’s been so hot in Mississippi that in Laurel not many of our gardens did much of anything.
Oh, I love all the different seasons here where I live as well. I so enjoy the simple things in life, such as a bird, singing, the sound of a wind, chime, and even falling leaves.
Queen of the meadow is a beautiful “weed” and it is good for UTIs or bladder infections, or so I’ve heard. Your fall garden is beautiful.
Thankyou Tipper, I did enjoy this video. Your bank is amazing and the lovely sounds of the wildlife. 🥰🇬🇧🙏🏻
Ahhhh, another garden tour (mental break). Thank you. I saw the butterfly too.
The clarity of this video is stunningly beautiful. I just love your garden 😊 God bless.
Thank you 😀
Tipper a spinach arbor is something I'd never think of. Beautiful. My daughter and I love you all. You are one peaceful moment we can relax and share and smile together. You're a welcome example and you feel like family. I have Katies ring on 24/7 so I feel extra close to her and you all.
I ask about blue stone but it must be hard come by. She doesn't answer me. I understand. Loved your 29 anniversary hike. 😊
Wow you can really see how steep the hill is in the opening shot.
😀
Looking forward to the new chapter of the book too. Me and my lady enjoy your story time. She is from KY and said you make her feel home.
I so enjoy listening to you telling us these stories and sharing memories ❤❤❤
I have a cat that was a rescue cat that never bonded with people and is not mean just stays off on his own but when I watch videos that you do a long narration on, he comes and lays his head on my shoulder and listens and falls asleep. No one else’s voice puts him in such a social condition. When the videos end he acts startled and jumps up takes off. Always enjoy what you share at the end of my long currently hot work days.
That is so special
😀 Love that! Thank you 😀
Your opening shot really demonstrates how steep the bank is! You mention it often, but I could never really see it well enough to understand. Today I finally get it!😊 Thanks for sharing your garden and your knowledge. We have jewel weed and Joe Pye weed in a native plants area of our yard. I’ve never noticed the jewel weed seed pods before. Tomorrow I’ll be looking.
I am so amazed by your fall garden! Every year! Thank you so much for sharing, it’s wonderful of you!
I love your garden and the sound of crickets. Yes, I can see how different the sky looks in the fall. I live in northern Illinois and have noticed some trees changing already. Today it’s finally cool and will remain cool for at least a week or more.
The first scenes with the high view were really neat to see; those scenes are well done! The jewel weed, I have never heard of and it really is pretty. Looks like the hummingbirds would be drawn to and like to visit those bright blossoms. Thank you for the garden update and tour. That malabar spinach arch looks nice. That is nice that it comes back each year. The cucumber plants I planted in the middle of July in grow bags have produced almost 2 dozen cucumbers and have a lot of blooms on the plants still to go. The tomatoes have a lot of green tomatoes but nothing has even started to turn red yet. I gave them some food today, top dressed with some compost and watered all in really well ; I hope it expedites some growth : )
Such a beautiful fall garden it’s going to be good when you harvest some of the things that you planted.😊
Thank you Krissy 😀
Hi, Cory can make soap out of that Jewelweed, lemongrass, dill, basil etc... There is so much in your garden that will make great regular and medicinal soaps!
Your fall garden is wonderful. The Joe Pye weed and the Jewelweed are gorgeous. The Ironweed too. And that arch with the Maypop vine is so beautiful.
Prayers for a good fall harvest 🩷🙏
Will be nice to see lower temps in Texas! 106 today! Thanks for sharing your garden den! I see you got a drone camera! That’s awesome! I watch Martijn Doolaard and Ithchy Boots. They use the drone for landscape filming!
That Mullen looked like lambs ears. And Tipper, they say that purslane is now a superfood.
All that basil IS perfect for homemade pesto. I made some last year and it was divine; used quite a lot of basil to yield a good amount, IIRC. Some folks put them in ice trays/freeze them and keep them to pop out for pasta. THANK YOU TIPPER !!! 🙌🏼 💞
Great time spent with you. Thanks for the tour. Seeing all the flowers made me happy and the food will taste so good when cooked.❤
Tipper, hi what a beautiful video! Lovely sound thank you so much So peaceful ! God bless Jan Sarlo😊
Oh my goodness...those crickets!
Enjoyed this video! We planted a good start on our fall garden yesterday! Turnipgreens, mustard, onions, winter onions, garlic, need to plant some lettuce a bit later . Excitement for each season!
The Joe Pye & Ironweed are blooming all around my part of the mountains too. Plus the various yellow flowers that dress the sides of the roads. This evening we got a tiny amount of rain, and oh the air temp dropped to a very cool and comfortable temp. Fall is definitely creeping into the mountains and I can’t wait. My daddy & momma is who gave me a great appreciation of every in nature. I can still remember my daddy teaching how to sit completely still when a cardinal would come up to the feeder. Such a beautiful bird. I also feed “my” birds. Brings me great pleasure for sure. Thanks Tipper for this lovely walk through your garden. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I Love the Sights and Sounds of This Video 🧡
I can't wait to feel the fall, it comes in the end of October here.
Beautiful gardens! Thanks for sharing Tipper!!
We used to live on Ironweed Drive when we lived in Pueblo, Colorado. I never thought about it being an actual plant. I loved the neighborhood and we have so many good memories from our time in Pueblo.
I hope you’ll make some pesto. It’s delicious and easy. We pour it into ice cube trays then into plastic freezer bags. Use it for soups, pasta, meats. 😊
Our Lemon grass is big but not aggressive ours spand about a 5 foot circle and is 5 feet tall it is absolutely beautiful. W3 have 3 plants and are planted by our patio. They get more beautiful each 6yr. Honestly I wouldn't plant in another container but 8n the ground. You can also divide it and gradually have like hedge going up a driveway or the edge of your lawn.
You have a wonderful environment for honey bees! I hope there's a beekeeper within 5 to 8 miles of your place. That's how far the bees will go for nectar and pollen!
Thanks for sharing your garden with us.
I like the new drone footage!
I just love your videosTipper so informative and so full of beauty and just love it.
