You all are so kind & loving to Granny, I know she will enjoy watching the garden grow, it will give her a goal to harvest time! ❤
Day 4 without smoking cigarettes praise God, God bless granny,
Yay! Still praying for you Norman!!
Maybe you can permanently park Pap’s old tiller somewhere that everyone in the holler can see it. A little flower bed around it and it could be a nice remembrance.
And create a remembrance sign so all will know the story of today and how Pap’s tiller made it and passed the baton over to y’all.
what a great idea and maybe find a big flat creek rock placed behind the tiller and have chiseled on it, "Till we meet again in Heavens big Garden"
So sweet the way your family all comes together & help Granny & each other.
How charming that the year you and Matt revive Pap's garden and the year you and Matt become grandparents, Pap's tiller retires and Matt launches into the future with his own new tiller. Sweet coincidence.
😊 I thought so too 😊
Me too ❤❤
Nothing lasts forever such a shame hopefully new will handle the rocks.
Such a wonderful late Spring video… new grand babies, new garden season with a new tiller & tractor! We too are enjoying setting out everything we germinated from seed. Tipper, this year we’re trying out Rattlesnake beans. My husband Walter thought I was nuts askin him to put up a cattle panel to grow them on… I bet after this season he will be converted!
Blessings,
Allison🧑🌾🐓
Love that tree in the background, is it an old one on your place for long time.
Matt is such a great addition to your channel! I've been watching for a few years and he was kind of an intriguing, mystery man. Love seeing him so relaxed, making his strong, sweet contributions to the family more apparent.
Thank you 😊
God bless you for being such giving and hard working people!
Yall are the kindest people, caring so much for each other and your family. Bless you both. ❤
Thank you!!
I love the fact you still look after Granny.i was raised on a farm , now that I’m older I still raise enough for my older neighbors. Continued Blessings to y’all.
Matt and Binx greeting each other was very sweet! 😊
😊
I loved seeing that! I've known for awhile that Matt does like Binks, and it was really nice seeing him actually pet the cat.
God bless Granny and y'all! You have such a beautifull family. Im from Canada & i wish we had a longer growing season. I always love watching your channel and the girls channel. You have such a loving & caring family & it always warms my heart to watch your channels. Thanks for your content.
Thanks so much 😊
I know you miss your father so much. It’s very loving for you to keep planting Granny’s garden. I’m hoping she gets to sit and look at her garden frequently and watch her things growing and I know she’ll enjoy making green beans. Thanks to you, we’re working on our second year of gardening. I used to only grow flowers but now we’ve got several varieties of tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, butter beans, peppers, and herbs. Plus, of course, flowers. I love a beautiful summer porch that’s filled with color. I’ll continue to pray for all.
That sounds wonderful! Thank you 😊
My husband and I watched this on our TV, and the story of granny in the garden hit home for us. I am in my late 60's and my husband is 77. We had to replant our corn day before yesterday, and I got caught up on the rows we had filled, and stumbled, and fell into the dirt. I started laughing so hard, I could hardly get up. He helped me up with the rake and we were almost hysterical. The dirt was soft, so no injuries, but what fun. Yes, our kids worry about us as well. 😅😅
❤ Sweet story!
Glad you were okay 😊 love the story!
You can never blow out enough birthday candles 🎉
I enjoyed the video today. I'm so glad Granny has her garden and flowers. This will make her so happy. Give Granny a hug for me.
Thank you, I will 😊
It's always heart touching to remember the small things, when we get older we realize they were really the big things in our hearts. I am 65& remember my daddy n his gardens. He plant enough to share with others in our small community.
My husband and I for the past 6 years have been caregivers of his Mom. He's an only child. We ended up moving in with her. Well, back in March she fell and broke her ankle, severely. She ended up having to have rehab in a nursing facility. She got sepsis from surgery and sadly she didnt make it. Passed away 4th of May. She had a beautiful dwarf rose bush that bloomed pretty much all year round in a big planter. After she fell, the rose started to wilt and looking like it wouldnt make it. After she died, it started to grow back !! Today would have been her 92nd birthday. We were blessed to have her so long. After losing both my parents and his Dad too, she was the last to go. Life is so amazing. Even things like your Daddys tiller making its last round ❤ and our "Granny" (yes, we called her that too because ,too, our children and grandchildren calling her that.) That rose came back beautiful as ever. What a beautiful God wink from heaven ❤ and yes, Angels are all around us ❤ reminding us they are still with us. God Bless you and your beautiiful sweet family Tipper & Matt.
Thank you for sharing! I’m sorry she didn’t make it. I love the God wink of the rose bush 😊
I know Granny was just thrilled having her garden planted❤
Hard working people are the salt of the earth. Loved the special idea of pap handing over the big garden because his tiller died. Prayers over yours and grannys gardens.
That did bring the tears, so true in life how even our loved ones who have passed through the veil, still talking to us day to day.
I love how sentimental you are about pap big Garden. It's so sweet that you planted Granny's Garden for her I know she really appreciates it and the flowers were such a nice surprise
❤️👏
Celebrating Appalachia with you has become a celebration. We so enjoy your life’s journey as you carry through each Telling the stories. Sharing the joys along with the challenges.
I hope you have plenty enough energy and love to continue this time of your life. With us. Your RUclips families. I pray it never becomes a burden to suck the thrill and joy of making another video. Take care. Rest. Looking forward to the next.
Congratulations with the tiller. Your grandsons may be using it for you one day.
Tables for a growing family to celebrate. Bless you all.
You articulated my feelings so well, thank you!
Great way to put it into words. Thank you @karenwallace9099!
You are so kind! Thank you 😊
Great post. I think most of your followers feel this way on some level. That means you're doing it right, Tipper. 😆
❤❤❤
You can plant sweet potatoes in a cardboard box and then take the shoots out , put them in a jar of water for about a week, to get roots, then put them in a plastic bin on a sunny porch or yard. Easy to grow them and they keep well. Plus they are delicious!
Binks seem to really like Matt. I have noticed Binks goes to Matt. Katy did a good thing when she took him in. He seems very friendly and is now part of the family.
Friday I got some hard news. I'm on bedrest due to possible hemorrhaging and later that day, my grandmother passed. She was my foundation for sure. My favorite thing to do was send her flowers. She loved to plant in her garden and because we traveled so much I'd bring back all kinds of seeds and pottery. How ya'll look after granny just made me smile. I'm sure she knows how loved she is, but working in her yard is just an extra type or kindness and love. Pap's tiller definitely left ya'll a message. If that ain't something to hold onto.
I’m so sorry. I will pray for you.
Matt with the cat in the background is just precious. It is obvious the cat really likes Matt. We had a specially bred very large Siamese Cat we brought back from San Diego when I was honorably discharged from the US Navy that was just like that. It also had a soft and gentle characteristic with the Family, but pity the person who invaded our realm without a good introduction..
So awesome that y’all take the time to plant Granny a garden, even if she’s not able to get out there, I know she will live watching it grow❤
I had a egg and bacon sandwich for supper tonight. With a biscuit and white gravy on the the side. Yum.
Pap died the same year that my mother passed away. Him in April, and her in August. She raised 12 children, and lived to be 91. 🙏🏻
Matt and Tipper, thank y'all for taking care of your elders. I know it hurts when they're not doing well. That is going to be a great little patch of groceries. Granny will love it.
So sweet of you and Matt to plant Granny’s garden. I hope she is feeling strong enough to come out to see it later.
Granny is going to be so happy. Now she will have something to look forward to doing. If I didn't have my garden and flowers, I would be so bored. You guys are such good children and craegivers. Pap would be proud.❤
So nice of you thank you 😊
How kind of you and Matt to think of your mother and help her put in her garden.🌻
When Granny gets to feeling better I hope she shows us how she makes her beans and potatoes.
Thank you Tipper and Matt for bringing us along while you garden. Looking forward to seeing all you grow.
The reason I love your channel is not only the nice people in it 😀but the beauty that you guys live in. Family helping family is so beautiful so decent.
YEP,,,, I was born in 1962,,,, I wanted to stay in the simple times of living on Dairy farm, everything progressed too fast,,, imagine My, Our grandparents born last couple decades of 1800’s,,,,,, Man, life must have changed through there lifetime , telephone, cars, and it all continues throughout 1900’s !!,! Yeah, I always wished I was born in a different Era!!!! GOD has us here for a reason! God Bless Everyone
Love to see you and Mat doing Granny's garden. So sweet how you all take care of each other. Thank you for taking me along.❤😊
My favorite couple!!!! Granny’s yard and garden looks great and those flowers are gorgeous.
Thanks so much 😊
Love comes in all forms but the love of family is so beautiful! What a fabulous year it’s been for the Pressley family! Thank you for sharing your life with us! ❤
You guys make a good couple. Prayers for Granny🙏
I throughly enjoy watching t your channel. I wish I was physically able to have a garden. Have a great week you 2. ❤ 🌹
Thank you! You too!
And most importantly God bless y’all for being so good to granny and paw
My sweet daddy just turned 91 on Saturday and we worry about him all the time. He and my mom still live independent in their own home. Thankfully I have two of my siblings who dont live too far that check on them regularly. Daddy restained the cabinets on their kitchen and their back deck last year! We keep telling him he needs to ask for help.
For my Bush beans, this year I got a 3 tier planter with stand for my birthday. This way, my beans are at a level I don't have to bend down to pick them.
My Daddy used to talked about how his Momma made hominy with lye. He always said there was nothing quite as good as that. I never got the opportunity to eat any that she made. I was too young and she died before I was old enough to eat and enjoy it. But I do love hominy, either kind: yellow or white. I am excited to see your corn mature and produce for you. Good fresh corn on the cob is so good. My uncle used to grow the silver queen seeds and we would always get several bushels from him to put in the freezer. He is no longer with us so I don’t get the opportunity to have any of “Uncle John’s” corn. Thinking about it makes my mouth water. I sure miss those days! I certainly enjoy watching you two talk about your gardens and all that your Pap and Granny grew. I agree with you and with Granny, there is just something so rewarding about growing your own food! Such a joy and pleasure especially when you get to harvest the fruits of our labor and eat it! ❤😊
We love growing our own food because we know.. NO chemicals are used on it!!
Years ago mom would say she wanted to put in a garden. She would show me where she was going to put it. Lol .I knew what that ment. She was going in for a cup of coffee and a smoke. And i was going to put in her garden. She long gone now. I am 70 now. No place for a garden in my apartment. I do smile watching you help granny. Pass the corn please.
❤❤❤
😊
That is the sweetest thing to think about pap’s tiller being revived for one more planting. I think he had a hand in that. Maybe you can save the handles to display on a wall somewhere. It would be neat to etch May 2024 Last Corn Garden into the handle. Maybe Katie could do that with some of her tools. My Lantana is on its 15th year of reappearing. The butterflies love it so much. I know granny will be thrilled with her new garden & flowers.
I met a lady who's husband had a garden n passed n the next year after he passed the whole garden came back by itself. Same with my dad.
Glad y'all got granny's garden she is the best I hope she is feeling better now and I hope you save Pap's tiller you can always get another motor for it take care have a blessed week.
Attention Matt:
I’ve spent many hours arrowhead hunting and my wife and I saw at the 15:18 mark of this video that looks like you spotted one. We were just curious.
That popsicle company needs to pay you all some royalties, no telling how many of us buys these. Love the show.
He picked up a rock for Katie 😊 we have found arrowheads there in the past
I love hominy. My granny used to make it outside over a fire. We have so many of the same cultural practices and traditions y'all do. I can even relate to sitting in the shade after working in the garden, watching birds. 😊
So thoughtful of you to plant for Granny. Keeps things normal. You will for sure have a bounty of food. Love listening to your memories of Pap and Grann working in the garden.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Love all your videos Tipper You and Matt are so sweet and always hard at work. Blessings. Love you guys. 🌺🫶🏼🌺
Thanks so much 😊
You talk about granny falling and breaking her wrist..
And granny worried about doing her crocheting you know she is strong willed lady and God is right by her side.
Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕👣👣
Ist of all the country side just beautiful. Glad Matt likes the new tiller. Someone helped themselves a couple months ago to my misters tiller and a lawnmower out of our back yard. I bet granny was so happy to get her garden planted. I love the way yall take care of her.
I'm so sorry! That is just awful. Thank you Linda!
😮😮😢❤
To those who helped themselves to your stuff - that the Lord God would get ahold of them in a mighty way and change them for good.
My husband’s favorite summer meal is corn on the cob. Nothing else is needed. Although a cold slice of watermelon makes for a great dessert.
I love listening to your family. You bring such great memories of my Tenn. family.
Thanks Tipper and Matt. 😊
You two are such hard workers! I sure do admire that!
Tipper, I may have missed a previous comment you made; but do you shuck and can the corn or freeze it? God Bless You and Matt for Making Granny Happy. So many families do not take care of their elders. Matt needs to start a RUclips channel of planting a garden.
Thank you! We freeze it 😊
The words of life springing up from the fruit of ones passed through the veil ring so true to us. Life can be a beautiful memory of others we love and how we still share their love of the earth. Nothing like sitting under a shade tree just resting and talking of times long ago or just yesterday. I do love your videos of family, planting, sharing and most of all God who gives us all things because of his love for us, his children. Please tell Granny she is being prayed for every day for God to heal and give her the strength to enjoy life, family and her garden. Waving from Pittsboro. NC
Real appreciative you took time for Granny’s garden. I hope it grows quickly and proliferates for her.
When I was growing up, mom would put a stock pot of water on the stove to heat, then she'd send us kids to the garden to pick and shuck a couple dozen ears of sweet corn. The water was usually boiling when we got the corn to the house. It couldn't get any fresher (unless we ate it raw from the stalk). Love fresh from the garden vegetables, especially fresh tomato for sandwiches! We've added cattle panels to our garden this year, as an arch between 2 raised beds, for peas, cucumbers & cantaloupes to climb. Trying to get more productivity from the same size garden by going vertical. Let the growing begin! 🌽🍅🫑🧅🥔🥕🍓🫐🍎
I do pray that you have an abundant harvest! God bless your entire family!
"I could eat bacon out of an old shoe." Well said, Matt! 😋Enjoyed the video, God bless!
😊
I finally found the popsicles! Can't wait to try them...and they are not bad in calories...it's going to be such a treat. Prayers for my friend please..her house was hit by a tornado. It's not too bad, but all her huge trees in her yard and around her pond came down. Funny thing was is one tree was torn up, but the cross that her late husband made was laid just gently by the tree. It was amazing. Can't wait to see the corn come up. I love hearing them in the wind. That is precious memories about your dad. Praying for Granny that she feels better. ❤ She is one tough lady for sure. That whole generation had grit for sure! Well have a great week❤❤❤
I will pray for her!! Love that the cross wasn't damaged! Thank you 😊
Granny will be so happy with her garden. 💯🫶🏼
I love your love for gardening.
I feel blessed to get these glimpses into your beautiful family and life in Appalachia. I so enjoy it.
And my goodness! Silver Queen is what I grew up on and still my favorite of any variety!! I’m with y’all, I could make a meal out of just fresh ears of silver Queen any time!!
Matt’s comment, “I could eat bacon out of an old shoe!” 😂 Me too my friend
I used to joke about my favorite food being the three B’s of life: Bread, Butter, & Bacon! Yum!
And Tipper, I don’t think you’re being silly at all about Pap’s tiller. Each generation carrying on. Beautiful!!
Blessings to y’all and praying that Granny’s been strong enough to enjoy her garden each day, even if it’s a look out the window!
Thank you so much 😊
Best summer meal is fresh ripe sliced tomatoes and fresh cut boild corn cut off the cob and put over the tomatoes!!! Yumm
The gardens look so good & glad you were able to replace the old tiller with a new, efficient one. I tried to get Outshine to sponsor your channel but they replied back & said they don't sponsor you tube channels. I'm eating Outshine popsicles because of your great reviews of them. Granny will be so pleased to know that her garden is planted & ready for the seeds to grow. Hugs!
Hi Tipper, tell Matt he looks A LOT younger without his beard and mustache. In fact I'm considering taking my mustache off that I've had for 37 years. ( I'm 67 ) Again thank you for all the prayers and tell Corie thanks as well. God bless.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful flowers ,I love flowers
Y’all are just sweet!
Matt & Tipper, Sitting here relaxing after a busy Sunday. I was happy seeing Matt get the front tine tiller to make his busy days easier. While i enjoyed your crabapple tree side chat I feel plum tuckered just listening to all the things you want to do. lol I canned until I had a brain stem stroke a little over three years ago & I appreciate how much you love gardening so i'm thankful you still have your good health. Tipper, wondering if you've ever made pickled corn? I love eating it right out of the jar & it makes my mouth water thinking about it. I laughed at the birthday candles malady joke & that might be part of my hubby's maladies too. You're still young enough & full of energy.. enjoy the glory while you can. Love Y'all & God Bless.
We love pickled corn 😊 thank you and hope you have a good week!!
Thats a nice looking tiller. Its about the same size of the one weve had around here for years. Even I can work ours, and I'm 60 something. So wonderful that you all are such close knit family .
I just love watching y'all it just makes my day
❤❤❤❤ Thanks for the tip on the store Michael and I will check it out next time we’re in Murphy . Praying for Granny ❤ I hope my zinnia seeds grow beautiful flowers for Granny 😊
I grow flowers in old tires they work great 👍
My mommy would make hominy on the wood heater she made it the old fashioned way she was a great cook.
What a beautiful day, Can't wait to see your garden grow.
So wonderful of y´all to get Grannyś garden going. Inconvenient to have to shell out for a new tiller...it will hopefully last several seasons & be easier to use than Pap´s old one. The symbolism of Pap looking from heaven, saying, ¨Your new corn field will be my old tiller´s last job, time to retire it.¨ That´s good for Corie to be getting some new HVAC. Well, it´s been a busy spring & now summer´s looking busy, plus, a second precious grandson will be here soon. Aww, so sweet how Binks goes to Matt. 😊
Hugs 🤗 and God's blessings 🙌
You all have sure already "earned back" your expense for that tractor with all the good help it has given you! What a blessing!❤
Love this drive from your house going toward town.
I love you saying “airish”. My Oklahoma Mother always said “chillish”.
Sure hope Granny's strawberry cake was stellar!
My husband does just like Matt in that he uses his tractor to load, unload, and move all sorts of things. Our tractor has been a blessing to us for sure. TeresaSue
I love bush beans. My favorite!!!!!!! I have a little chair I sit in and pick.
It made me so happy to hear you mention crab apple jelly! Me and my Grandma used to make it, but it's long gone now.
Deep South Bama With Mr. Tom....he has what I think is a Lantana bush right near the road and it is very large and full of blooms. Very beautiful.
I had to write down that meal idea of the cornbread, corn on the cob, etc. because that is what I used to have when I was growing up and I'd forgotten just how good that was - so Thank You and Matt for that 😁
It's always a very good day when one of your vlogs pops up on my feed.
Wow, thank you!
Always love to watch you all❤️🙏
Hi Tipper and Matt
Im glad you got a new Tiller to help you with your garden and glad you got Grannys garden going on .❤ also i join your channel i love all of you . God bless you all love ❤patsy

Love that 😊 thank you
This year I did an experiment.. I planted my potatoes in a large kiddie pool, it had a split in it and I try to reuse things.. and they are doing great , I just keep heaping soil and chicken manure on them as they grow. Can’t wait to see the outcome.😊
Sounds great!
I know Granny is happy to have her garden planted. It is fitting as you said that Pap's old tiller made it to the end of the garden one last time. Hopes and prayers for a plentiful harvest.
Good simple beautiful life. Its a choice. Bless you all.
