You might want to get your sugar check out i was the same way i was eating about every two hours and stayed hungry all the time i found out im a diabetic

Well again thanks for the invite
Matt reminds me of many of the fine men I have known from North Carolina. They work hard. They have an endless knowledge of nature and the environment they live in. These men can make you a rabbit gum, fix what needs fixing or tell you who can fix something. I always say a good country boy can save you more money than a high dollar man can make. These men are loyal to their families. They love to cut up and can tell tales or jokes till you holler. Maybe they seem backwards to some, but I would rather have them on my side than again me. They will help you in a heart beat. Tell you off if needs be. Pull for you even when the chips are down. I have been blessed to know a few. To be related to a few and hopefully have a hand in raising a few. God bless the men from Appalachia and the old north state.
I agree 💯
That is so kind! Thank you 😀 I am blessed to have Matt!!
❤️
Amen Lori,, Amen
My husband from central Illinois is this, and he was born as a concrete baby( raised in the projects) but figured out this lifestyle he lives it and works it every day.
I was married to a long haul trucker for thirty years. And he drove big truck even longer. Millions of miles. He was a big strong six foot 8 inch young man when we married and always complained about being skinny. I told him his body would change when he got older and it did. His hands and arms were twice as big from driving an 80,000 lb tractor trailer when he passed from health issues, COPD and diabetes at 68. We don't appreciate enough men that do hard physical labor with their bodies so that the rest of us can have comfortable lives.
Physical labor is so rewarding and satisfying .... the world has come to rely on technology too much and this has made ppl lazy which leads to multiple problems such as poor health .... so thankful I was raised in a different time ... god bless our farmers and those who still have the ability to do handiwork ... just wish many things from years ago were still around ... like making things by hand ...
I’m sorry you lost him! Thank you for sharing part of his story!!
I love your videos. They take me back to my childhood and times i spent with my parents and Grandparents who all farmed. I learned so much common sense from them as you both seemed to have from your folks. Thanks.. , as I smile watching these . (69 yr old former farm girl )
Matt reminds Me of my Late Husband Gary. There was nothing he couldn’t do. 😊
This is funny, Tipper, you inserted a photo of Bill with the sunglasses on just as Matt said, “He was strange.” Perfect timing on your part! 🤣
I miss my 2 mountain feists…. Best dogs ever. Nothing came around the house with them around.
I love that imagery: "Like shaking a piece of firewood." This describes shaking rough hands so perfectly!
Please keep my wife in y'alls thoughts she Finished her radiation we watch all the time great content. Todd from Buford ga.
Glad she got finished. I will be praying for her!! Thank you for watching 😊
Prayers
Thanks for sharing the wonderful.dog stories and it was neat to see Matt work on the greenhouse and hear about the gardening. God Bless you two.
I've never lived this kind of life.. but it calls to me. And has been calling a long time now.
Me too. 😅😂😊
I love sitting with you both, and having these chats 😊 Blessings x
You two are the real deal! Always enjoy watching what you’re working on and enjoy the ending sum ups. The greenhouse is more than just fine, if you had waited for plans, all new materials etc…. You might not have a greenhouse today. My favorite recycling was the wood from Miss Cindy. You have the joy of her love and memory being there in your life and greenhouse every day, specially during garden and harvesting season. It would have been a shame to do it any other way!
Thank you 😊
Tipper/Matt~ I have a good friend who helped us build a small greenhouse a few years ago..he is a “professional” farmer who grows food year round as a business. He had us put 4 inches of white pebble rock down in the floor of our greenhouse and said it would help retain warmth at night and on colder days…thought I would mention to you..of course if you don’t get much sun especially in fall in winter that prob wouldn’t serve you as well as it has me..but wanted to share. Like you I tend to hang onto everything…cause I may need it one day lol..and I’ve discovered the one sure way that you know you will need it is after you have thrown it away! Love you guys! Blessings from a Western NC neighbor❤🙏🏻
Thank you! I never even thought about the extra heat from the rock until Matt told me the same thing LOL 😀
I loved hearing about the dogs "from days gone by". ❤ A few days ago I was running errands with my daughter ( I often talk with her about your family) and she says "Can we stop somewhere for a snack? I'm comin' unfed". 😂
Love that!
Another Sunday night with such nice folks. Thank you Matt and Tipper. 🥰
Our pleasure!
I'm appreciative of your videos, you make me smile. I received some sad news, so thank you for the smiles. -much love from NJ ~Mary & fam
Thank you Mary. So sorry for the sad news.

It's wonderful that the two of you can tackle all these tasks together! More hands make less work! What joy!❤
Your garden and yard is going to be beautiful this year. Matt is going to be watching his helpers this time.
Love the way you show how hard you work. Wish I could work that fast!
Tipper- might I suggest that Matt check into a Honda tiller… our family has had a goodly number of their products. My snowblower is a Honda - it’s almost twenty years old and usually gets pretty good use each year in Minnesota. Never needed repairing- just general maintenance. They are not cheap but I think they are worth every penny… wishing you a big snow- I am wishing any future snow we are to get happens to your locale. Love your channel- Blessings
What a blessing to have each other and a green house! They make a clear gorilla tape now!
My dad always puts up an electric fence to keep the unwanted animals out. He starts 6 to 8 inches off the ground and puts two or three strands. Top strand at 2 foot
I put the top strand at 3' to keep out deer. The only thing that can get in is ground squirrels, so have to rethink how to protect the strawberries!
Y'all stay busy. What a blessed life. Enjoyed the video ❤
Talking about rough hands reminds me of an Andy Griffith show. A man courting Aunt Bee clamed to be a handy man. But the postman shook his hand and told Andy the man's hands were too soft. I get wanting to plant as the days get longer and sunnier. My rhubarb is starting to grow just a bit. Yeah!!
I have the same problem of hanging on to things for way too long thinking that someday I will use it. So it just sits around in my way for 10 years til I finally get aggravated enough to finally throw it away. And then I usually end up needing it and wishing i hadnt thrown it away two weeks later😊
The same thing happens to me. Lol😊
😀 That's usually how it goes with me too!
@@lisabeal8615 I think it happens to a lot of us. But you can't keep stuff forever.
Enjoyed your talk today.
I think I’ve mentioned this to you before, but it has been studied that growing green beans alongside of corn plants are perfect companion plants giving off nutrients for the other plant. Very much like corn and beans complement each other and form a complete protein when combined together. Most plant proteins are incomplete in of themselves. Corn and beans are some of the great plants that are perfect together. Somewhere back through the ages. I’m sure someone knew that. It couldn’t have been by coincidence or that they tasted good together. But I do remember reading in a gardening book many moons ago to plant my bean seeds in the same hole as the corn seeds and they would grow up the stalk as the corn developed.
how exciting that the daffodils are coming up! yayyyy!
I was watching the sun while you were cleaning the greenhouse. If you own the land on that hill, you could cut all those trees down on that hill and catch the sun, now and into the rest of spring. Starting on day after winter solstice you should get more and more sunlight each day on your greenhouse.
Out here in Reno we got probably 9” of snow. So for dinner I made a pork roast with potatoes & carrots and enjoyed a nice warm meal with this video! Thank you for the company at dinner. Wish I could send some of this snow your way.
Sounds great!
I believe the Japanese anemones spread by rhizomes. The rule of thumb is they are blooming on 2 year old plants but will quickly take over. I guess you found that out.
Thanks for the wonderful video. Love garden chores.
Great video I enjoyed watching you and Matt cleaning the greenhouse up. Then sitting around drinking hot chocolate and chatting about everything.
The tiller dilemma is why I go to auctions. I’d rather spend my money on old appliances, tools, etc that are made well and still have a long life in them. 😊❤️
I love it! We put woven ground cover on the floor of our greenhouse.😊Regina
How funny the story of Molly tearing up the tillers and lawn mower and all the dog stories; y'all have the best stories. We still have my dad's tiller which I think is maybe a Craftsman. Dad loved a Sears store. I am my parents daughter too in that i keep things thinking it might could be used some day for something. I can absolutely see using the wreath holder for a vine plant, great idea to repurpose/reuse that. My husband encourages me to get rid of the things if I haven't done "something" with it in a few months out it needs to go : )
Thank you Rebecca 😊
What a nice visit...I read about the three sister planting and the squash plants have prickly leaves that deters critters. I live in a subdivision and have a raised bed for my retirement gift to myself after watching your channel. Thank you very much with that "ember"❤🔥 Cleaning out some of my "junk" I came across a box of seeds. Hubby said I should donate them to Africa....my dad offered a space on his property to plant a lot of those seeds. I agree with Matt about staying ahead so it doesn't take as long to get it done. Looking forward to gardening with Y'ALL through RUclips, here in FL.♥
We had cornmeal mush and eggs for breakfast this morning! 😍 Waving from Nashville 👋
Well I get those graveyard wreath holders and use them once people throw them away. They are great for helping hold up Peonies.They would probably be great for help holding up tomato plants too.
We’re having such a strange winter. We’ve had our snow storms and a really nasty almost 3 week cold spell , some days not even breaking 5 degrees in the daytime. Now for the last 2 weeks it’s been so warm, 40’s and 50’s, which is unheard of in January and February here. I have bare ground in the garden and it’s giving me garden fever! 😂. So seeing y’all in the garden isn’t helping, lol. Matt could build a building down at the corn patch from all that tin y’all have from the roof. My husband thinks his tin pile is good as gold. 😂. We have corn meal mush quite often. I keep our dog in the house or close by anytime around dawn or dusk, which we call coyote thirty around here. I’ve had to use my sidearm to run the coyotes off when they thought they were going to take a dog. Have a great week, TeresaSue.
It sure was nice to have a break from the cold and rain. Just like y’all we got a lot done over the warm days. With all those good memories with the dogs I say get Matt a dog 😁
I always grew food but then l planted flowers n said they were food for the soul.
May I suggest a pond liner to put under the gravel. I was a cashier for Lowe's for 8 years, and a lady told me instead of weed guard. She always uses a pond liner because they last forever.
A lot of folks around my area also call mixed breed dogs curs. My 1st cousin, who lives next door to me, had a medium-sized cur dog, Jack, whose parents were only known to themselves and the Almighty. He was a wonderful animal, but he was literally a wood shredding machine; and, like your brother's dog, was so disturbed by lightning and thunder that he would do number 1 or 2 or both any time a storm came up. He had to be kept in a cage when noone was home to prevent furniture being chewed and mishaps during the warm months.He lived to be 21 or 22 and then had to finally be put down. When I ate with them, he would put his muzzle on my right thigh knowing he would get the fat and gristle scraps I cut off my meat.
I came in from working outside and sat down to watch your video. I was amused to see you working to clean your greenhouse because that’s what I did today. I built mine 2 years ago. I used cattle panels on mine. I’m still learning how to utilize it. I hope you can show some of what you do in yours. 😊
I can’t wait to start as well.
Matt you are too funny! Unfed...too funny! You made me smile...
So nice for you to show all the steps in making a garden. I enjoy seeing in bloom gardens, but appreciate you sharing your journey to get to those beautiful plants and flowers! ❤🌸🌱🌾
Matt's hand carved spoon is cute! 😊 Looks like you got a lot done already to get ready for planting season. The many ways to heat hot cocoa... 😊 Thanks for having us set a spell with you!
If the cups/seed start containers are still in good shape, and you labeled them with a Sharpie, use a little rubbing alcohol and the ink will usually come right off.
I loved hearing you all talk about the dogs!! I absolutely love Olive!! I especially loved hearing Matt talk about Ruby side eyeing Bill 😂 They truly do have personalities just like people! I have a beagle now and she is the biggest diva " Pebbles". Just spoiled rotten. Olive cracks me up and she is a beautiful dog!❤
Oh my, I am SO excited to start gardening again! My garden is very humble compared to yours as I live in a small city. But oh my, I LOVE gardening, and am increasing my garden space rhis year as you have so inspired me!
Duct (gorilla) tape, an old coat hanger, zip ties, wire cutters, vise grips and a good hammer can be used to fix just about anything. It can't fix computers though! lol
Put some heavy duty landscape fabric and then the gravel in green house.
🤔 If Matt is ever bored or needing more to do, 😉 he could always carve some of those wooden spoons for your Etsy store! I’d sure buy some and no need to make them perfect for me! 😊
Tipper I take pictures of Mom's flower beds each year so she can look and remember what she planted , the color, and the locations. thought maybe that would help you out a little. We have a doberman that can hear thunder 2 states away I swear!
That's a great idea!
I love watching yaw talk & work together I love your green house❤
Praying and Blessed! 😊🙏💕
Like Molly we had an Alsatian that took into machinery. It was the smoke from the exhaust it hated. Even cigarette butts she used to stomp out with her paw. One day my dad was talking to my uncle who was sitting in his idling car when it suddenly conked out. Wondering what happened they eventually found that the dog had chewed the exhaust pipe closed because of the exhaust fumes!
Oh goodness 😀
Enjoy the day
Matt should sale some of his woodwork in your YT store. I think his wooden spoon is cool.
Thank you 😊
Good luck with being ruthless. I need to do the same in my house and for my garden. I try but am not very successful.
Also I am trying Cherokee Purple this year.
We have a 17 1/2 year old dachshund right now but our previous dachshund who lived to 16 1/2 could tell a storm was coming two states away. He would start pacing and panting hours before a storm arrived. When he did this I would look at the weather and sure enough a storm would be on the way.
Wow my dad loved corn mill mush
Nothing better than home raised sweet potatoes!
I believe you can plant potatoes after St. Patty's day.
Tipper, this is in reference to the short above this. Have you ever heard the term winder light or counterpain? I went to Mars Hill University,my roomate was from Laurel NC and she used these terms always. The first meant window and the second meant bedspread!
😊 I’ve only read them in books
Remember"Rawhide"? LOL. I like ClintEastwood. Matt's nickname, Rawhide..
If its metal set it out for a scrapper, don't put it in your landfill. ❤ love y'all and your channel ❤
Thank you 😊
Y'all made a lot of progress. I'm looking for some old fashioned nesting onions but they are hard to find. I'd like to have a greenhouse too so maybe one of these days. Spring is coming.
Good job Tipper!
I love our mantis tiller!
Love your green house I've always wanted one
😊 thank you
We had a yellow Ladner black mouth Cur. Great pig hunter!
Good job guys
I wonder, if you were to dissolve some rock salt in water and spray the floor of the greenhouse with the brine, would it keep the weeds from growing up in it? Would it be more trouble than it would be worth?
That seems like it would work but I don’t know for sure 😊
I had a beagle shihtzu mix. Smart and beautiful. He saved me when he found my breast cancer before it could get too big. He died in 2019 from cancer in his belly. We had no idea. We thought it was 😂arthur cause he was older.
So sad you lost your fur baby. Our sweet Pappian Inkie hasn’t long left and we are already mourning for her. She’s such a comfort, but it’s cruel to see her suffering like she is. So sad. 😢
@jenniferlee6424 so sorry to hear that. Did your baby have cancer. If so, fenbendazole may help. It is a dewormer that helps people with cancer. Many cancers are parasitic in origin. Ivermectin helps too. Can't hurt. I didn't know about Peteys until it burst. He bled out. Two month earlier the same had happened to my Festus. She was a shihtzu. She had a fatty tumor on her backside. The vet long ago convinced me to leave it alone. A cancer grew under it and made it burst one day. Two dogs in two months time devastating.
The best dog I ever had was a red heeler. She was a stray.
It looks good. Matt reminds me of my dad using tape to fix stuff. Lol. The hot chocolate looks good. What is that fire thing you used to heat your hot chocolate if I wanted to get one? And how does it burn? Love your channel. Hope Granny is doing better.
Thank you 😊 it’s a msr stove and it used isobutane fuel
Thank you for the video Tipper, I really enjoyed it ❤️💕
Tell Matt that I said that I too have the appetite of a 14 year old boy…. And I also have the metabolism of a sloth 😅😭
My “hunger/ fullness cues” just have their days and nights mixed up I think (that’s my theory anyway hahaha) ..
So glad you enjoyed it 😊
Maybe you need a small tractor so you can plow the big garden. Did you plant your carrots yet?
Not yet 😊 hope to soon
Why worry? There are lots of beautiful spoons in the world.
😊 thank you for watching
we used to have a dog called Molly the weather dog/was terrified of thunder storms!lol
I had a Yello lab named Molly who hated storms. She would go get in the bathtub behind the shower curtain and hunker down. 😊😊
Matt has kept his boyish figure for a guy who has to eat every 2 hours.😂
😊
Lot of work to do
Thank you for watching 😊
What other kind of wood is good to make a spoon? I don’t believe I’ve got any poplar. Would oak work?
Matt said Maple might work good. Oak is awful hard 😊
Ok thank you
Piper
With the potatoes all 3 kinds
You should try the
Ruth Stout method
Everyone says easy & maintenance is low.
Check it out
Linda from Ct
Grow lights hanging inside the greenhouse?
That might work if we could heat it too 😀 Thank you for watching!
Sell a cookbook, buy that man a tractor! 😂
Paint the back boards...
♥️✝️🇺🇸 Canines rule 😊
Deep freeze does that with plastic
Tipper, perennials like anemones SLEEP then CREEP and then LEAP
Love that 😊 thank you!!
You are right. They don't make things like they use to. Many times homemade items that are needed are not only cheaper, but they are often much better than what you can buy these days. It is great to see something well made from something that was discarded. " Junk to useful ". A stick to a spoon is wonderful.
I’m so glad you take us along with you🙏🏻🙏🏻💕prayers for granny
Thank you!!
That pic of Bill on the porch was so sweet ❤. Thank you Tipper and Matt for bringing us along on the garden work.
I agree with y’all. They don’t make anything like they used to. The government tells us not to use a lot of plastic but, almost everything they make nowadays is made out of plastic. Hope y’all have a good week. Hugs from the south east coast of Florida.😎🦩🌞🦩😎
I planted sunflowers in front and after I took off flower I used sticks still in ground for Halloween characters lol
Loved the gardening and dog stories, especially the doggie photos! Good times!
im so happy for you guys being able to be together every day having more time for all of your endeavors
Matt’s cornmeal mush reminded me of cornmeal soup my Granny and Mama used to make us when we were sick. It was chicken broth, cornmeal,and green onions. I haven’t thought of that in years but it always seemed to make us feel better and was so tasty. Such sweet memories of my Granny and Mama. I’m excited to see your gardens growing this Spring.
We called it cornmeal gruel. 🍲 It was delicious and really did seem to make us feel better. I used to make it years ago for sick people but haven’t done so in years.
Love those memories 😀 Thank you!
@@MEMORYLORD not sure if it’s me you’re asking but for the cornmeal soup, my mama would boil a chicken (but you can use chicken broth) and she would take the stock and add corn meal(about 1/2 cup per 3 cups stock}, salt, and pepper and boil it until the meal was done. About 15 minutes. It would have the consistency of runny “cream of” soups. You can debone and add chicken back to the soup if you’re not sick but if you’re cooking for someone sick, leave the meat out. Hope that helps.
@@MEMORYLORD The breakfast cornmeal mush is much like oatmeal which is probably what Matt was eating. You boil 3 cups of water. While it is boiling, mix 1 cup of meal and 1 cup of milk together. Pour that into the water and boil 15 minutes. Add 1 tsp. Salt. Making the slurry of meal and milk then adding to water prevents clumping. This will thicken to the consistency of oatmeal. You can the serve it with cream, brown sugar, maple syrup, raisins, fresh fruit, or however you want to sweeten it. I hope that was helpful.
@@apiecemaker1163 So it's like scrapple?
