Trying to Get Garden Chores Done Before the Rain

- We had our first truly hot day this week. It felt like shorts and flipflop weather 😀 But we know we'll still have frost before true warm weather arrives to stay here in the mountains of Appalachia. I spent the day trying to get ahead on our long list of garden chores. I was wishing Matt was with me instead of at work 😀

Matt has gotten very comfortable in front of the camera! He cracks me up 😂
Matt cracked me up wanting to quit you over the popsicle. He's got a great sense of humor. You all are so blessed 😂
😀 He's so silly! Thank you 😀
Pamela, I posted basically the same thing. lol
Matt gets TWO popcicles next time you record a video. HAPPY EASTER friends.
Okay, Matt, I think it's your turn to praise Tipper on how awesome and beautiful she is. It is so wonderful watching the love you two have for each other. I'm sending loving thoughts to everyone.
"Remembering one year to the next is asking too much!"
Love this channel
😀 Thank you!
The birds singing their evensong is so relaxing and a great way to end the day 😌
I'd love to know what kind of bird was singing the loudest.
Matt cracked me up when he got up after you said you had a popsicle without him. lol 😂
😀 He's a mess
@@CelebratingAppalachia You are too! 🤣
Wow, the stage is surely getting set outside! Spring is full of promises Summer is full of surprises Fall is full of blessings and Winter is full of hope We're a lot like nature; we'll not be fully rested until we truly get home. But today at this moment the birds are so happy and we are too!😀
My daddy was born and raised in a tiny town in Arkansas, Magazine. Not part of Appalachia, but the food that he would cook up was the same wonderful food you cook.
That is wonderful 😀
Happy Easter to you Tipper/Matt/Corie/Katie/ their men folk/Grannie and the rest of both your families. 😊
Thank you! And thank you for watching 😀
I second that!✝️❤
My 3 year old granddaughter (she'll be 4 next week) wanted corn bread muffins for lunch today. She loves to cook and "makes" us food all of the time. This time, she got to make the muffins, and she said they were the best! And they were. ❤
Love it!!
In the Aleutian Chain of Alaska (Dutch Harbor), there are acres and acres of purple Wild Irises on the hills. Whenever I'd see them, I'd be awestruck by God's abundance. Happy Easter Tipper and Matt!
Oh I bet that is so pretty!
I'm like you, ma'am, in that my favorite time of the year outdoors is the few days in spring when the trees flower and begin leafing out. There is just something about seeing the various shades of light green, red, pink, purple and white while you can still make out the limbs in the tree tops that touches my soul in a special way. The redbud in my yard I wrote about a few days back will be in full bloom for Easter Sunday this year. May the Promise of Easter lift up your hearts and give you the only hope that really matters in this world, that of the world to come!
Always a blessing, always reminding me that not all of us are gone…
Thank you Mrs Tipper & Matt
Thank you Justin! Hope you and the girls have a wonderful Easter!
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you, hope that you all do as well!
You brought a tear to my eyes talking about the generations of your Irises. My great, great grandmother brought African Violets from Germany when she came to America. She gave some to my Great Grandmother, who gave the off springs to my Grandma, who passed off spring to my mom. My mom took great care of them. Unfortunately, my mother was hospitalized for a long time before she passed, and there was no one to care for her violets. I tried to save them, but was too late. I always wanted to keep the tradition going.
Bless you! I love the story of the violets and your family.
Iris is one of my favorite flowers I see them growing around houses that are just falling down and like I wonder who lived there and who would have planted them. And I see them just growing in odd places. Love them.
I wonder those things too Eva 😀
I loved hearing you talk about being sentimental and caring and thinking about who gave the irises to your family originally. So articulate to how I feel, down here in Rockingham County NC. Tipper, you and Matt and your girls are awesome!❤
The two of’em sittin in chairs outside & just being together after a full day of work ❤ 👏🏼👏🏾👏🏻👏👏🏿👏🏽
“Having a popsicle without me! That’s almost like cheating! Almost!” “ My husband is great, I worship the ground he walks on!”Matt is hilarious! 😂😂 what an awesome sense of humor he has! He reminds me of my precious Daddy, God rest his soul. He had a sense of humor just like Matt’s! Gosh, how I miss that! I had mixed beans for supper yesterday. I mixed pintos & great northern beans. That’s my favorite. I cooked some chunks of lean pork in with them. I baked veal chops to go along with them & the other side dishes. Mama & I are getting our garden started, as well. It was already 86 degrees & humid as the dickens here yesterday! It’s barely April! We are in the dead head of A southern “Sprummer”! I am so seriously NOT looking forward to summer! Can Matt, Mama & I just crawl into a mountain cave and “ hermitize” ourselves through June, July & August?! Happy Easter Tipper, Matt, Granny, Corie, Katie, Austin & Nick….& the entire Wilson/Pressley clan. God bless you all.
Thank you Cindy!! Sounds like your Daddy and Matt would have gotten along great 😀
Dear Tipper, I live in Colorado and we are so desperate for water and it's so hard to grow anything, please appreciate your abundance of the most precious resource. I love your videos, but envious of what your are able to grow.
I sure wish I could send you some rain Tracy. Thank you for watching!
I know what you mean about being sentimental about flowers. I have some old fashioned purple irises in my back yard now that came from my Grandmother’s yard. She has been in heaven since March of 1999. I also have some yellow irises that came from my Mother’s back yard also. I believe she told me that my Daddy’s mom shared them with her. So, I have some generational flowers in my yard. All of these ladies had a love for flowers and had a green thumb. Their yards always looked so pretty. I think that is where I get my love for gardening and flowers. It gives me such a good feeling to plant something and see it grow! 😊 Happy Resurrection Day to all of your family!❤
Tipper...I loved the one bird 'song' competing with you while you & Matt were chatting....what was it? And you may have said before, but there was a lots of little purple flowers in yard..in the background when you were showing the potatoes coming up..what were they - a violet? Matt - you are hilarious, telling Tipper it was like cheating to have a popsicle without you!
The singing bird is a Cardinal, the beautiful red birds witih the crown tuft. They call to their mates, back and forth - kind of a singing telegram message. Simply Beautiful.
Yes violets 😀
Spring gardening is such hard work, but the rewards are so worth it. Once all of those flowers begin to bloom and show their beautiful canvas of colors, you’ll be so happy with the effort. When those vegetables start to produce food for the table you’ll be so satisfied with the results. It seems that your fortunate to have room for a nice garden and family members to help you with all of the chores that have to be done. Best of luck this season. Thanks for sharing. - Tennessee Smoky
So true! Thank you for watching 😀
I was just thinking about how peaceful you guys looks sitting in all God's glory and the hard work that's put into your beautiful home. I do love watching you and I'm very inspired by your love the two of you have for each other and your girls. So lucky to have each other . Keep up the fun and laughter. Laughter is good medicine. ❤
You are so kind-thank you Judy 😀
One of the sweetest things I think I have ever seen, when you said you planted right back here, Matt turned around to see where you were talking about. That small act of kindness and respect truly touched my heart. In fact I actually said 'wow' So many husbands after a hard day's work in the heat would have listened but not turned around to actually see what and where, knowing what you were talking about. But, Matt turned to look and really wanted to know more about what was important to you! That wasn't a huge thing, but yet one of the kindest things I have seen. Good Job Matt!! Y'all are such an amazing family and an inspiration to us all!!
Now, the Sun is coming up, everyone is still asleep, I'm going to go work on my flowers.
Have a great weekend, Happy Easter Tipper and Matt
You are so kind-thank you! Have a wonderful Easter!
Ha! Thanks for the giggles, you two.
I do love my pass along plants. So many from friends and family now long gone. Here on the Gulf Coast I can plant Boston ferns outside. They do freeze in winter but the roots don't die. My starts go back generations. My great great paternal grandmother gave a start to my great grandmother when she immigrated from Sweden in the 1870s. She gave a start to my grandmother who gave starts to her children and now I grow them. I do not know if any of the present younger generation are growing them. I also have a Christmas cactus handed down from, my great grandmother. It is now too huge to move out of the sun house.
Hope everyone has a very blessed Easter!
You too Sam!!
Have a blessed Easter! ✝️ 🐰 🥕

I’m from Virginia but currently all the way up in Detroit, Michigan-and was just thinking earlier today about how much I was looking forward to the world being green again 💚 it hasn’t arrived around these parts just yet. Thanks for sharing yourself and your life with us, Tipper. It is a joy to witness! Brings me inspiration as well as comfort.
Thank you Grace! I appreciate you 😀
Same. Inspiration and comfort! 💯
My Beloved Momma was from Detroit and moved to VA when she was 21.
@@hawkrose8403 Love a Detroit and Virginia connection! ❤️❤️❤️ (I even get excited when I see Virginia license plates on the road around here.) I bet your Momma was quite a lady!
Nothing like that exhausted feeling after a long day of work where you're just relaxing and not wanting to move a muscle. I enjoyed hearing the cardinals talking in the background. Thank you for sharing your day with us all.❤
Enjoyed this! Love seeing the garden coming along, and the apple tree blossoms! I love the aroma when I drive by an apple orchard orchard with all the trees in full bloom , so wonderful! I hate that Matt has to do roofing, asphalt job in this heat . It's tough enough job without the heat, add the hot weather, very , very tough. I love pine trees , tall white pines are very majestic! I just don't want them close to the house either . One year, we had an ice storm, and huge one came down in woods behind my house . I was thankful that I my house was 50 yards away . Thank you tipper , appreciate y'all always. God bless...🙏❤️
No matter the content outside,no matter what y’all do …the constant flow of the stream sounds so soothing. I could sit out and listen to it all evening ❤
I always enjoy seeing you and Matt working around your property, planting things. But the real joy is seeing your bountiful harvest and preserving it for the long winter months, or making wonderful meals. Thank you for sharing.
Matt is great, I love his sense of humor. I love watching you get your garden started.
Matt’s in my prayers, does he have a brace for his elbow & arm. He’s smiling when you said he mesmerized you, so sweet. 🙂
Thank you Mary! He does have a brace he wears that helps some 😀
I was brought up on beans ,cornbread and fried tatters..still love them..good video, God bless you all..
Nice hearing birds singing.
Hopefully you can get a lot done before the busy book signing starts. Happy Good Friday everyone 🙏
Popsicle weather, you got to love it!!!!
I hear your cardinal!!!! My favorite. ❤
I enjoy your chats. I feel like I was there visiting with you guys. God bless you both.
Thanks so much 😀
Tell Matt I said good luck getting one🦃 twirling that extra full around I figured he was going to pattern his gun before dark. It's getting closer, we still have a few weeks before opener here. My dad bought a electric bicycle thinking about using it to ride into some of the hunting areas around here.
You two are just adorable , enjoy so much your chanel, I’m from West Virginian, those mountains make me home sick
Yep, it's work season. Got some fertilizer put out before it rained. Got twice as much left to do as I got done today.
Dreading these rainy days coming. Our high Saturday is gonna be mid to upper 40s. I am not a fan of cold and rainy.
I'm sure we will be fine.
Your plants look great! I would plant that entire hillside around those planters in blueberries, but that's just me.
Thanks for sharing today's adventure with us!
And a good day was had by all, 😂. It would be nice to work up to the hot weather for sure.
I love hearing the cardinals singing in the woods!!
Wishing all your family a most blessed Resurrection Sunday!
I will NEVER forget the one time I harvested horseradish that had over wintered. Well, I ground it up in my food processor and didn’t smell anything. Foolish me got real close and took a huge whiff…….felt like my scalp was on fire lol.
Happy to see one of our T-shirts on Celebrating Appalachia.
😀
I worry about Matt's cough. Bless his heart. He is so tired. I know you are tired, too, Tipper, but he is the most tired I have seen him.
LMAO...Matt you crack me up. So Tipper never eat a popsicle on film without Matt. What you should do is eat a popsicle on film with Matt in a photo. Just for fun, I wonder what he would say. All kidding aside, you two are what good marriages are all about. God bless.
That would be funny 😀 Thank you John!
I love those Siberian Irises.. ♥️
They are pretty 😀
Thank you Tipper for sharing your garden and stories with us. Matt is so funny, especially about you having a popsicle by yourself - made me chuckle which got my husband to wonder what I was watching while I was knitting this morning. Happy Easter and God bless you all.
Have you ever grown 4 o'clocks?? When I was a kid my father had tons of them, course they bloom in the early evening and our entertainment was going out and collecting seeds...we had endless envelopes of seeds. Dad would give them to folks that would stop by. For years in our little town you could drive down the streets and see the flowers that my father had passed on. Pretty cool! I've tried growing them here but the soil is so terrible around here I never could get them to grow.
I grew them for the first time last year 😀 Thank you for watching!
🛌🏵️🌱Sweet garden dreams, into a glad good morning; simply getting horizontal can feel wonderful at bedtime. My resting prayers continue towards your family 🙏 in their night's reflective thoughts.
Rest well tonight,ypu sweet hard working people!
That was a Cardinal singing in the background. Provides sweet music with no cost.
I noticed you called cardboard boxes “pasteboard boxes” and it brought back memories of my mom saying that. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else use that term before.
Love "Popsicle Partner" I keep those popsicles in the freezer since watching you folks last year. They will be soooo much better when we can get outside and work up a sweat.
Thank you Sharon 😀
My Dad loved his pinto beans and cornbread with mayonnaise. I love it also... enjoy your videos.. reminds me of growing up... alot in common
I have been watching your channel and I know what it is that you want to come back and watch ….it is your warmth and your authenticity. I used to live in a small village with all the aunts…uncles…cousins…grandparents were so important to me and you bring it back …this feeling of longing to have it all over it again.
Thank you so much!
Give the guy a few extras ... He wonderfuls lol like a cute little puppy lol nitey nite
Hardworking folks right there! Tipper did more in one day than some folks do in a month, made me tired just watching. Sometimes I wish I could speed up time when I'm working like the video cause I got so much to do, but can you imagine how tired you'd be! I'm sure enjoying these days, Spring is my favorite time of year and it never lasts long enough. Always enjoy your visits (videos)😊 Stay safe and GOD bless
Thank you Alice 😀
It's always nice to have perennials that know what to do with very little help, except every few years. 80° wow! Enjoy your garden chores. Before you know it, you'll be having your first harvest. Do you grow rhubarb?
So true 😀 we don't grow rhubarb. Thanks for watching!
You may think that I'm crazy, but we found out how to eat those lime bars. We said it was bitter, so we shake a little salt on ours and it's almost as good as having a green apple with a little salt! As a kid, Mom would hand us a salt-shaker and send us out to the tree to eat green apples with salt. Boy was that good, and the outshine lime bars with a little salt are just as good! Try it once before you dismiss it!
Great tip 😀
My great aunt, grandma, and mother used to have what they called bouquet peppers. It was small bushy plant,peppers were multicolored,purple,red, yellow, and small. Wow your plants have really grow,bushed up! I always get impatient,hard to wait when I plant something til it gets as big as yours are!! Lol watch every day to see how much they've grown! Old saying "watched pot never boils"!
Crazy weather all over. Be safe.
Thank you for watching!
Always so much fun watching you and Matt, he's a good man. Thanks for another great video.
You Worked Hard Tipper!! I wished I could have Smelled those Apple Blossoms!! I can't be in the heat & not able to garden. Sure Love watching You or & that FUNNY Matt! Same as cheating that You had that Popsicle on Camera without Him. 😂 GOD BLESS YOU ALL THERE.
Horseradish is very invasive, it will take over your whole garden quickly. My brother planted a small pot of it and it almost took over his whole yard. He had a hard time getting it out, he ended up having to till the yard and replant grass. He gave me a few so I had some old plywood and I cut it into pieces about 3 feet by3 feet and buried it making like a box and I was able to contain the Horseradish. It worked for several years until the plywood rotted. I think it would be easier to grow it in a container, but it will need watering daily. Good Luck with yours.
Here in Indiana, I've been in an apt for 15 years. But I still put my flowers out in pots so I can have some beauty around me. I've talked to my grandchildren about how I used to plant a garden. Everything by seeds. One would say why would you do that! You can go to the store and get it! Lol! They don't know what it was like! I guess that why we are here, to teach them.i still start with seed!❤
Hi Ms Tipper! My bedroom window looks out with a view of where my main field camera is placed. I love it! Have a great weekend!
Hope you have a wonderful Easter 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia He is risen!
@@connorscuriosity3520 And I'm so thankful!
Tipper, I am like you about the weather. Enjoyed sharing your day.
I would love all the birds … I’d have feeders everywhere … but realizing how much seed hulls n weeds that would create ❤
🌤️Good Morning I'm sitting here this Friday listening to the rain ☔ coming down it started around 4am or at least hard enough I could hear it on my tin roof it's cool this morning 42 degrees plus it's made it damp in here . That sure aggravates my arthritis bad but I do enjoy listening to it hit the roof plus the birds sure seem to be enjoying it . They are singing so beautiful how I wish I could be getting my flower beds ready and my little garden but that's not going to happen. I sure enjoy watching you do your chores and the interaction of you and Matt is just so beautiful and heartwarming your marriage is what all should strive to make theirs. You both are such a inspiration to us and especially your daughters you can see the love and respect between the two of you it's a great thing to see. Supper sure looked delicious as always a wonderful meal with the ones you love best way to end the day. Loved the reaction Matt had about the Popsicle that was hilarious I'm so glad he has become relaxed being in front of the camera because the two of you are perfect in front of the camera together.
🙏🕊️ Hope you have a Blessed Day looking forward to the next video🙏🕊️
You are so kind Suzie! Thank you 😀 Hope you have a wonderful Easter!
@@CelebratingAppalachia I mean every word of it. Happy Easter to all of you💜 Give Olive a good scratch behind her ears from me she is so beautiful.
Great video Tipper 😊 Matt's reaction to you eating a popsicle without him was priceless😊
Thank you 😀
My irises are much bigger. I have one that blooms twice a year. A beautiful blue.
Tipper, watching you yawn made me start. Guess it's time for me to hit the sack. That rain will be good for everything you planted today. I like the lime Popsicles and sometimes I get a bite of my husband's coconut in-between and it's good.
Beautiful, Purple Bearded Iris is what we call them in Spain. Ours are nearly finished flowering, end of April they will all be gone. I transplant some every year, they might not flower this year but that bank will look beautiful next year. Happy Gardening!
I love it tipper you guys are awesome and I loved it Matt I hope you get a huge turkey y good friend .and get ya an ice cream 😂 thank you tipper for the video 😊
I loved hearing the beautiful bird in the background, so peaceful. You two are such a lovely couple,just love your videos..
😊 thank you
Enjoyed tagging along with you Miss Tipper! Y’all been extremely busy like we have been.
We got over 3 1/2 inches here over the weekend to. Matt always has the right words to say at just the right time.
While you were having that popsicle by yourself, I thought he’s gonna get her for that! Lol 😂 and he did. 👍🏻😂
😀 Thank you Pastor Lon!!
My Grandmother used to make homemade popsicles. Sooo good. Strawberry, Peach, and Honeydew. Puréed the fruit with water and sugar. Probably very similar to Outshine. Happy Spring!!
Here in north Louisiana we have had nothing but rain for the last several days. It’s even flooding in areas in our town. With all this rain our trees have really greened up.
Rain all weekend, maybe we will catch a break and it will rain at night ? Tipper , you were right about my taters that got frosted to nothing,they are back . Yay ! 😁
Yay for the taters 😀
I live in South Carolina and we've had so much rain. I don't garden, but I've had a screen in porch made and have to wait for some dry weather to get it finished. They can't stain the wood until we have some dry weather. It's rained every weekend for the past month. God is teaching me to be patient. I'll love it for a long time when it does get finished.
Love being with you guys as you all get the garden ready for summer. God bless
Birds! Still have ice and snow in my neck of the weeds. I won't hear those birds in Montana until April 20.
Hi Tipper! In AZ we have the Outshine Popsicles Mango with Tajin (spicy seasoning). They are my favorite! Matt may like them as he likes spicy. Tajin is really great on any kind of fruit too. It isn't too spicy so you may like it as well!
I'll see if I can find them 😀
I like the smell of pine trees and hearing the wind blow sofly through them. They do not do well in storms though. Thanks for telling the brand of the popsicle. I'm going to see if I can find some around where I live. I think I would love the peach and coconut ones the best. I'm not a fan of lime. Thanks for all the vids you share. I love to hear the birds sing. Very peaceful and serene. 🍀🌲🪴
I found a packet of purple sweet peppers and planted four seeds inside. I've never seen purple peppers. It will be end of May before I can plant them outside.
I think Corie planted some purple ones 😀 I've never seen them either 😀
Amen sister,beans and corn dodger, can't be bet❤❤❤
That was adorable. I kept expecting one of you to doze off at the end. Hope you get some good rest tonight. 😴
😀 Thank you Judy!
You are one busy woman. So enjoy your channel
Thank you! 😊
Those Irises are going to look great on the bank. Just love listening to you and Matt's conversations. Tipper hope y'all try and have good Easter but no it's going to be tough. Everyone is in our prayers.
Thank you! Wishing you all a blessed Easter too!!
The apple tree buds are just starting to swell here in Central Iowa! My husband and I were able to till our garden and get the potatoes planted. Supposed to be in the low 80's the next few days so I would like to plant my cool season crops. I direct sow all my vegetables except tomatoes, of course.
Love hearing yr stories and following the weekly garden chores. We r about 2 wks behind you folks here in Nova Scotia , Can.
Watching u tear those Irises apart made me want 2 get out and do the same 2 hostas when they start poking through. If I live near u we cld trade.
Have u thought of donating some 4 a local garden club sale?
So sorry 4 the loss of your loved ones in yr family. Sending my heartfelt prayers yr way!
Hey on a funny note... I'm with Matt... don't want 80 degrees in April! Lol
Heck, we r finally in the no snow zone and getting double digits ( +10 to +15 C ) all next week! Woohoo! Lol
Thank you for watching!!
Wishing all a Blessed Easter. Jean ♥
This is so nice. Love your chats and Matt's sense of humor 😂
Happy Good Friday!
Our fave is pinto and navy beans. Nothing better with cornbread! You got a lot done today. We’ve had glorious weather here in VA, mid eighties. Bad storms this evening as a front rolls through . Back to 50 tonight snd chilly rain for next couple days here too.
I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend and God bless!
Another fun time with Tipper. thank you! I have really old Irises too. I took them out of the original bed and then just tossed them alongside of the deck. There they have been for over ten years! I started two new flower beds last year so I dug some up….and never got them replanted. I just threw them in a planter box. I hope they made it through the winter. I am thinking I got them from my sister close to twenty years ago,when we built the house! I too plant nasturtiums along the edges of all the beds. Last year I had a couple strays come up. They are so delightful. Every year I say I am going to eat some of the flowers and leaves and then I never do.
I try not to envy your weather. Our snow is melting. Today it melted enough that a jar of gravy that I had put in the snow around New Years was finally visible and I chipped it out! I use the deck for a freezer in the winter or to at least cool things off! Have a beautiful Easter celebration with all your family. God bless you and keep you all. AND…I am going to start rewarding my hard work in the yard with Outshine popsicles this year!! Hopefully that will be in about a month!
I hope you get some spring weather soon 😀
Thank you. Tomorrow snow flurries…1-3 in…..but after that….warm temps…and no lows below freezing!! I just found rattlesnake beans at a local store. I am going to try them. Today I am finally starting seeds indoors. I have 32 milk jugs outside for winter sowing……
I live in hope! Blessings
