Blowing up TVs, Planting Taters, & Filling New Garden Beds in Appalachia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- We had a really productive day in the garden. We got our taters planted, compost spread in the back gardens, and started the task of filling the new beds we added to the bank. As usual once the work was done we set around and talked about things. This week it was everything from gardening to old TV antennas to Matt's childhood escapades. Early gardening season is a wonderful time in the southern mountains of Appalachia!

I am so impressed with all the work you and your husband do together. I never fully appreciated all the work my Dad did for his garden. He took care of the garden and was always proud of it and my Mom loved freezing and canning the things he grew. Sadly, I didn't realize how much work they put into doing things for our family when they were living. My children and I miss them. Wish I could tell them how sorry I am for not realizing all the work they did for us at the time. Thanks for posting your videos and letting me finally realize how hard my parents worked.
Thank Joyce!! I know you miss them terribly! I'm sure they enjoyed the work as much as we do 😀
I know how you feel. I helped my Dad, but not nearly as much as I should have. I can still picture him at the end of the day leaning against the handle of his shovel looking at the large garden.
@@CelebratingAppalachia it’s not like work when you love what you’re doing, especially when it’s with the love of your life!
This is a great wood project book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.
You two, sitting and chatting, remind me so much of my family. From the 1950s, I remember just sitting and listening to family members talking. It was such a secure, peaceful feeling. Especially when my brother and I would go to bed, we could still hear the murmuring and knew all was right in our world.
I fel the same way. Tipper has a way of making us all feel welcome and part of her life and family. She gives me much comfort, like you speak about. Im alone. A lot of times, I play her videos and she puts me to sleep ( tipper is laughing I’m sure). It’s so comforting! That same thing you speak about with hearing the murmur of ….
I love this comment! My mom has a close friend who was around a lot when I was a child. I got to spend time recently with her when she visited my parents and I realized that the sound of their conversation almost lulled me to sleep! There was such comfort in hearing her voice intermingled with my parents' voices. I was so grateful for that experience as an adult. It made me laugh and tear up a little at the same time!
Happy to remind you of family 😀 Thank you for watching!
Thank you Sandra!! I'm glad we are comforting enough to put you to sleep 😀 We appreciate you!!
Please post more stories of Matt’s youthful shenanigans! So fun to hear.
I'm glad you got some planting done. One of my favorite things is just watching you and Matt just chatting together. It makes me smile.
So glad you enjoy it Margaret 😀
Gosh it's fun watching y'all talk. Matt was a regular country kid growing up! 😂 So many good memories. All country kids knew how to make their own fun. Y'all work so hard it just makes the food taste so much better. Always enjoy listening to y'all talk. Hope you all get to feeling better. Stay safe and GOD bless
We all grew up in the greatest time of tv 📺. We were the remote control, lol 😆. I really enjoy the talks you have with Matt. I remember working with my husband each year in the garden plantings. Keep warm and dry. Much love and prayers for you all. 🙏 ❤️
Thank you Sandy 😀
Absolutely love to watch your RUclips channel.Its like visiting with old friends. You are such a sweet couple! It's fun to here Matt tell his stories. You whole family is such a blessing to so many and God will bless you greatly. Well, rub with the Vicks vapor rub and feel better
Thank you so much!!
You two are such a joy to watch and listen to! You can just tell you have a wonderful relationship!
I love sitting here with you all just listening to you two talk. Brings back so many good memories of myself growing up and been at my mom and dad's. They both worked hard. I wished I appreciated back then as much as I do now. Thanks for sharing with us.
Love how you both work together and then enjoy a treat afterwards.
Y’all have tickled me to death. Listening to Matt brings back memories of my own feral boys😂. I just had to close my eyes and keep praying they’d live through their shenanigans 😂. Love you guys❤
Wow, that was a lot of work, but y’all sure have a nice lot of garden beds. It looks awesome❣️
I had to chuckle as you went down memory lane.
My husband watches all the old westerns, too. It’s comforting to watch them. I’m a retired Baby Boomer and I grew up with all those shows.
You’re so right that it’s much safer for kids to watch them.
My grandkids like the old shows, too. It’s gotten to the point that there’s only two shows on regular TV that I watch anymore. Blue Bloods is the only drama I really like.
This is why I like your channel. I love your videos and the values you and your family have. You’re so much like my family, it’s comforting. Thanks for everything you share❣️💞🌸
Thank you Vickie 😀
My husband and I are
close in age with 2 children your girls age.
We grew up in rural part of Virginia and did not have access to cable or satellite tv until I was in college.
We never had tvs in our bedrooms. Only in family room and mommy and daddy’s room so our tv watching was limited. We spent time outside. Not in front of tv.
Funny, today, I can go to their house any day if the week and it’s on that Western channel. Best gift us girls ever got him!
We watch all the old westerns too, my wife bought me the complete set of Gunsmoke too. We love them, tales of Wells Fargo, wagon train, Rifleman all of them. That’s why I watch all your stuff, I swear we are family lol. Good to see folks with interest like ours.
Hope you get to feeling much better soon Tipper. So good to get to share your life via videos.
Matt you made up for Tippers low energy enjoyed this sooo very much,
Try your local highway department. When they clean ditches the soil is good and you only have to pick out the refuse. I used it one year to replenish around my horse barn. Thanks for all you and your family accomplish and film for us. Much love to you all.
Great tip! Thank you 😀
The highway department used to keep the ditches clean out and the banks trimmed here but they don't any more. The town of Morganton composts leaves and tree trimmings and sells it cheap. They call it Morganite.
@@papaw5405 in Tulsa Oklahoma the county or whoever would take trees,limbs, etc from cleanup and grind into mulch. Anyone could have all you want free. And the stockyards would clean out the stalls,pens. And you could take a pickup,truck,or trailer to get some of the manure and they would load for you. Last I got any few years ago it was $5 pickup or trailer load.
This makes me homesick for something I never had. Looks like a good life.
I so love when you and the hubby sit and just talk with stories and food ❤ Don't get me wrong, I love ALL videos but partial to these 😊 Be Safe ❤️
If you all had boys, I bet they would have been just like Matt. Love listening to your stories.
Where the Red Fern Grows is the first movie I rented.
This video was so sweet. It reminded me of growing up way back in Missouri’s Ozarks. We were allowed to wander all over the hills and explore. I jumped out of a barn loft flapping Little Golden Books about Dumbo and Peter Pan. I guess I thought I would fly… I didn’t but there was hay below.
We could barely ever get the tv to come in, nothing but “ snow” on the screen. I planted my potatoes in grow bags last year and they did great but I got 22 lbs of sweet potatoes out of a 25 gallon grow bag. You all are unique and I love that. Bless you all.
❤❤❤love when the new growth starts showing. I call it "the green fuzz". Very exciting.
😂
Matt had me rofl with his puked up cottage cheese comment, I love those coconut pops too! I love y’all’s popsicle chats. This is my favorite season with all the new growth sprouting all around!
I always enjoy these chats and the popsicles! That rappelling story cracked me up!
Your hard workers, but don’t you love it. Seeing and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Yummy vegetables.
😀 we do! Thank you 😀
I love a peony better than a rose.
Matt cracks me up.
Glad to know about surprise lilies. Didn’t realize they had green first.
Matt is a man of few words whose facial expressions say alot. He was eyeing that popsicle doubtfully, until it touched his tongue...then a look of INSTANT gratification. Had to watch those few seconds twice.🤣 I'm actually surprised how much I enjoy watching your garden come together. It reflects your love of the whole process. 😍
😀 Thank you!
I like watching "The Life and Times of Wyatt Earp", as well as Tombstone Territory .
Was a fun visit with you both. Your garden is going to be beautiful when it warms up. I enjoyed y’all reminiscing about the tv, movies and antennas 😂 so many folks were climbing on the roof back in the day. Matt reminds me of my brother shooting stuff, oh boy the glass, our Dad wasn’t too pleased either. . . and we did it all with no protective gear 🫣Glad you both are feeling better, definitely being in the fresh air and a hearty meal will be what your body needs to kick the cold out. Potatoes in the wood stove 👍🏼Blessings to you both 🤗I agree Tipper, independence hard to give up, keep doing so you can keep doing.
Tipper Matt is just sharing with you because he loves you so much, but i hope you feel better soon😊
😀
I miss all the gardening with mom and dad. They both have passed away in the last 3 years.
I so love watching you and Matt making the garden the sitting a spell to talk and rest a bit.
“ I just love it when a plan comes together” A -team
Man from Snowy River was a great movie. Matt you are so blessed to have such a good cook. I am from Oklahoma my mom and grandma cooked like Tipper cooks and lot of the same dishes.
It cracks me up and I love watching you guys setting there with your jackets on eating those cold treats. Feel like your getting ready to visit with us. I would be freezing to death laugh out loud.
😀 Thank you for visiting with us!
It would be nice to plant sweet potatoes in one of your hillside beds. You would have wonderful lovely vines to spill over the sides . Once you plant them there is no upkeep . You would just have to harvest in the fall . Sweet potatoes are great for winter storage and I also home can my sweet potatoes in a sugar syrup .Great at thanksgiving .
I hope to plant some white ones Connie-great idea 😀
I can my sweet potatoes in a light syrup there easy and delicious.
My brother has been trying to grow sweet potatoes for a few years now with no success.
Is there a secret??
@@justinehyre2975 We always hill up a big long row with lots of rich soil .We then cover the row with landscape cloth and pin it down . We then cut holes 12-14" apart and then proceed to plant our sweet potato slips and water them really well . Water a couple of times while they are developing a good root system , Rain will penetrate the landscape cloth . You pretty much then just watch them grow and harvest in the fall
@@justinehyre2975 you have to plant slips and not seed potatoes like other potatoes.
New subscriber here. I admire you for planting onions from seed. Lol I gardened in southern KS. I loved rototilling my garden in March, then planting potatoes on the 17th. You brought back good memories. Loved watching you two munching on your ice cream & visiting. Your voice is very soothing. I'm looking forward to watching your gardens grow. God bless you with abundance 🙏🏻💙
I love watching and listening to you two. I wish my husband would garden with me.
Thank you and Matt tipper I m a better man for knowing you the weather is gonna get cold again .i hope you get to feeling better tipper I am so glad to see you both everything is looking good hope yall have a great and safe week ahead .
Oh, my, I hadn’t thought about those old westerns in a long time. We used to watch Tombstone Territory and the others. My dad loved them.
Tipper, that compost that you have from last year is like Mother Natures Gold
It is the best thing to use for everything you have planted, like vegetables and flower beds 😊
I enjoyed listening to the 2 of you tonight, and it took me back, especially Matt’s sharing memories of his boyhood adventures. Behind our house when I was a child there was an old field, and someone had tied an old long length of rope to a high branch of a big wide oak tree. It wasn’t the jump rope or clothesline type rope I was familiar with but thick, coarse tannish rope bristling with fibers sticking out. Big boys would climb the tree and holding the rope would swing on it and holler like Tarzan. One day, I was 7 or so I decided I was going to climb the tree and swing on that rope, so I did. I had no idea that you needed arm strength to maintain a hold, or that my hands were too small to grip it but once I jumped with the rope down I went sliding down and landing with rope burns on both hands and wrists, if memory serves. Oh the mercurochrome (sp?) stung when my mother dressed my hands and arms after washing them, and I believe I had gotten a splinter from it too. 😂 I enjoy watching the old western tv shows as well, I got into the habit a few years ago. I didn’t care for such things as a child, though we all liked Bonanza back then. But now I really do like to watch them from time to time. My favorites are Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Rawhide, and Wagon Train. Up here in Massachusetts we’re supposed to get a nor’easter starting Monday late in the day. I would dearly love for the winter to be over. Thank you for a most enjoyable video.
So glad you enjoyed it 😀 Thank you for sharing your favorites and your rope experience 😀
I can't help it. Im listening to you two talking. Totally enjoying it. But I'm laughing because I'm also watching your chickens in the background running around. They're so fun to watch. 🤣🤣
Loved hearing the stories, You both are hardworking people.
The great part about it is, your daughters would do anything like that for y'all they could. Y'all raised some very loving and blessed young ladies.
The plant with the variegated leaves and purple blooms, I think those are called spotted dead nettles. Well, the planting has started and won't be long till you can plant the more sensitive plants.
I have baked many potatoes in a fire. Best way to do it. Great stories of the past. Love listening to your stories of the past as I can relate to most of them.
Hope you get over your cold soon Tipper. Thanks for sharing!
Such a wholesome family. You have changed my life in many ways. I love your videos and your gardens are beautiful. The South is my favourite place in the US. The most welcoming people. I’m from Canada and during our many trips the Southern hospitality is matched by no one. I haven’t been to the Carolinas so Tennessee is my favourite state so far. On one trip we were invited to Louisiana by a couple we met. Hugs all around. You and your family are so loving. You make my day.
Thank you so much!
I'm also excited to watch what comes up in your garden! Thank you for sharing Tipper and Matt. Hope you feel better Tipper.
Thanks so much!
We love old westerns, especially Gunsmoke. Love your channel from rainy Central Calif
We've had some kinda head colds and the week before I come down with a 24 hr stomach flu. I cannot remember being sick for many years, hoping nothing unleashed on us? Just never know, what I do know is Trust the Lord with our whole heart ❤️ Thanks for sharing all your garden love 💕
Hope you feel better soon 😀
I loved Gunsmoke as well. (I'm 66) But my favorite older show was "Hawaii Five-O". Jack Lord was so cool. For me he was the modern day Matt Dillon.
This conversation was priceless....😁😁😁. How did we survive with
So few broken bones....no helmets, pads, and supervisors....lol Love you guys..... many laughs watching this.
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
Both of you sitting together talking is the best medicine for a stressful day. This makes my day! I’ve seen so many couples at a restaurant never talking to each other or on their phones. I love how y’all go from one subject to another, truly talking. I don’t watch TV much, but when I do, it’s only those old black & white shows. Lol, we would put tin foil on the TV antenna. It’s amazing we had to actually get up out of the chair to go turn the dial to change the channel. On the potatoes, do you have to have the eye pointed upward? I’m going to try it in some buckets. Thanks so much for your great videos.
So glad you enjoyed it!! I try to point the eyes up but have found it works if you don't too in 😀 Granny grows little potatoes from her peelings sometimes 😀
My mother-in-law lived in Florida they called those lilies, Hurricane Lilies. She said they always sprang up during hurricane season. 😊
I'm with Matt, Tombstone Territory is really good.
I uncovered some flower beds so I'm going to throw old towels over a few things. Enjoyed y'all as usual.❤
I love to listen to Matt's stories, reminds me of me and my brothers and the things we got into!
Everything looks so pretty and greening up. My great Aunt Martha had 15 varieties of Daffodils in her yard. I spent the entire spring going to her house before my first baby was born. I learned so much from her. She was a flower gardener. Popsicles already? Good for you!! My great grandmother used to cream fresh potatoes and fresh green peas from her garden, made beautiful biscuits to go with. They were at least 2 inches high. She just put a handful of this and that and some of this and that..guess she knew her recipe by heart.Thet sure tasted good. Im in north central Texas, we are to get to 32 Friday!! I'd love to find host's and peonies, 2 of my favotites!! I found red raspberry bushes and need to get them planted..after this freeze. This sb our last!! I hope. Thanks for the great videos. God bless. Love from Texas!!
Thank you! That spring dish sounds so good 😁
Festus cracks me up. He is so whiny for being a wild west deputy. Lol Watching it as a kid, I never caught on to the nuances of their characters.
They would make us watch Where the Red Fern Grows at school before Christmas break in elementary school on the old projectors. All the kids would be bawling.
I remember renting the VHS machines. They were so big and heavy!
Granny used to dig up some young potatoes to make cream potatoes they were so good.
I chuckled when ya'll were talking about antennas & turning them for better reception. I love all the old westerns too, get to watch them on occasion at the neighbors as I don't have television. Your garden beds are looking really nice. You have worked hard today. Funny stories from your youth. I am worried about my peach tree as it is covered with blossoms. Thank you for sharing. Blessings 🕊🙏❤
This reminds me of the times we just were excited at planting. My hubby and I planted beans carrots potatoes. I just love the rewards of fresh vegetables! Great job Tipper and Matt!😊❤🇨🇦
We laughed out loud when you were talking about adjusting the tv antenna. What memories. Someone had to hike a mile up the hill to adjust my dad’s and mom’s antenna. When I started dating my sweetheart he had the privilege of going up the hill to adjust the antenna. I’m surprised he didn’t break and run while he had the chance. 😂
😀
Do you ever cook fresh green beans with very little onion chopped up fine. When the beans are just about done, add fresh corn cut off the cob and cook all about ten minutes more with bacon grease, salt & pepper. Yummy!!
I haven't but that sounds so good 😊
All of your beds look so good, new mulch etc. Love your flowers, spring is definetly in your area. We have several naked ladies in our beds, they are so pretty. Hope you feel better soon Tipper, Ll of you truly. The cold that passed around. Love you and Mat chatting! God bless you and yours❤🙏🙏❤
Hey tipper that little purple plant with the variegated leaves is spotted dead nettle. I’m getting some grow bags to start my taters in. I hit a small green house this past weekend and put it up I really like it, it might be one Corie might would like. Lidl had them f it r 59$ and comparable ones on Amazon were twice that. Y’all are going to get a lot in all those new raised beds. I hope the deer stay away and don’t think y’all made them feed troughs! 🤣
What did you guys think of The Waltons? I tear up when I see them now as it reminds me of my Grandparents and parents who are now gone. Yes, definitely safe family material. I remember crying over Where the Red Fern Grows. I think it was black and white but then we didn't have a color TV. Old Yeller really got to me!
Love the Waltons 😀
Nothing better than new potatoes from the garden! It’s good to see the mud has dried up quite a bit. You two are so fit going up and down those slopes with full buckets. You’ll sleep well tonight. Tipper I hope your cold goes away soon. ❤️🇨🇦
Enjoyed this! I dread the cold after these warm days. The plant is spotted dead nettle . The leaves and flowers can be eaten in salad and soups . The purple dead nettle that grows profusely in the spring can be eaten also . I love potatoes ! The way you prepare them in the oven are delicious! I love the old western movies too.y'all brought back so many memories! I remember only getting 3 channels on TV and PBS, if the weather was right. Sounds like y'all had a great supper ! Like y'all, I live on a hill on the north side and it's windy and will not frost ,but go down the hill about a half mile and be a big frost at the bottom where no wind and the cold air pools...thank y'all! God bless...🙏❤️
Thank you Ben 😀
Watching y'all talk about old TV shows and only a few channels and especially about some of the dangerous things Matt did as a child brought memories flooding back. I am 75 and will be 76 next month. I remember the old days with good Westerns and shows and the entire family would sit together and watch it together.
I have almost completely given up watching any of the "regular" huge number of TV channels and spend just a couple of hours some nights watching channels like yours. Some of the kids I grew up with say that in today's world we would have gotten in REAL trouble for the things we did. We made our own gunpowder from scratch and made our own rockets and fireworks with it when we were in our early teens. We were careful and didn't really get hurt bad, but could have, but the one lesson we all learned was that some risk is just a part of life. How do kids get to know that any more?
PS -- Your channel and your daughter's channel are two of my favorites. I really enjoyed Katie's tour of her jewelry workshop! Just to see someone actually MAKING things these days is heartwarming.
Thank you Tom! We appreciate you 😀
Having the creep'n crudd as my grandmother use to say, Hope you all feel good soon. One year when I was young (24) I volunteered to plant potatoes in my mothers garden. I grew the most beautiful potato plant ever, so big and pretty and green. I used sprouted potatoes and when it came time to dig them up with my grandmothers spoon. They all were the size of a quarter just little ones millions of little ones. I was terribly heartbroken and felt guilty for all the people I felt I had let down. The soil was just too hard to let them grow any larger.
Thank you 😀 Sorry they were little potatoes-I've had many experiences of gardening like that over the years 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you for the kind words. It helps. Live and Learn I guess.
Thankyou for sharing your memories and life! Love your content.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you 😀
Where The Red Fern Grows makes me bawl as does Old Yeller
Spring is coming.
My Dad always said in east N.C. frost typically ends Good Friday.
Lots of folks here plant on good Friday 😀
All the improvements you've made are looking beautiful.
Thank you!
I wanted to let you know that I watched how you made your cobblers in the other day's video on the feast you had... melting the butter in the baking dish, adding the batter, then fruit on top. My grandma always poured the fruit in, plopped on the batter, then bits of butter on top. Your way is so much better tasting. The butter flavor really comes out as it bakes in the cobbler. Thank you, I'm making it your way from now on.
Wonderful! Thank you 😀
The sunshine on the grass is so beautiful I'm planning on painting my potatoes this week, your gardens are beautiful, y'all are an inspiration to me.
Thank you so much Brenda 😀
I did a Google image search of that plant and it said it is a Spotted Dead-Nettle. I just love watching your garden grow.
Thank you 😀
Here in balmy Michigan we say don't plant anything until after the 1st week in June unless you want to cover it from the last frost. Carried many a pot of flowers in and out of the house for a week because we got antsy early. Have a good evening ...
Grumpy Old Man's co-workers gave him the entire set of Andy Griffith. He loves that show and knows every line. And hawks are my favorite bird.
Hawks being scared of crows is why it;s a good idea to have some black chickens mixed with your flock they can't tell the difference
Yes, red tailed hawks mate for life. There is a pair behind my house by the creek. They are so beautiful.
Fun to hear Matt’s story about the tv….must run in the Pressley family. Elvis shot one of his tvs when he was upset with the announcer. It is in one of the museums across from Graceland. I had a good laugh when I saw it.
😀 Thank you Cynthia! Hope you're having a good week!
@@CelebratingAppalachia You are so sweet to care. It is difficult, but people like you make it easier. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your garden videos. It will be a month or so before we up here in the northeast can plant even the cold weather crops. A nor Easter is heading our way and dropping a bunch of snow.
I’m ready for Spring myself!
Thank you for sharing your lives.
Y'all keep me based.
Our pleasure!
Tipper you are so right about it being hard to give up your independence. When my Mother was about 84 she started showing signs of dementia. I think the hardest part for her was knowing she was going to have to depend d on others. After she passed at age 88 we found a little beaded book and I sat down on her bed and read it. She titled it the things I miss that I used to be able to do. She wrote...I miss being able to cook big meals for my family. I miss roller skating and swimming. I miss watching the tumble weeds back home. I miss sitting on the front porch and singing with my 8 children (she had already lost 2). I miss my Paw and Maw but I will be seeing them soon. This just went on and on and as I sat on her bed I cried as my heart broke all over again for her.
Betty, I understand everything you said about your mama. I have lost ALL my independence also. I am only 68 and have been in a wheel chair for a year now. I have no family or friends, well just a couple...my husband passed 8 years ago and I lost my precious son to suicide. I haven't been out of my house for 10 months. Some days I have to wonder why am I still here? I never dreamed this is how my life would end up. If it wasn't for my little dog Hannah...I would be lost. You take care....
God's Blessings to you sweetheart. I am so sorry for you.
So so sweet!
@@cindakellogg1307 I am on oxygen for copd and I rarely leave the house, especially in the last few years. I live where it is winter for many months so there is no choice but to stay inside. My close family lives over an hr away and have health problems also...I can sympathize with you. Can you hire a companion to take you out or home care...something like that?
Betty-what a bittersweet memory for you! Thank you for sharing your mother's precious words 😀
We had frost on the roof tops and car windshields during the 1st week of June in 1994. I actually built a fire on June 7th that year in our heater. I was sticking beans and had a flannel shirt on a coat. It was a cold start to June.
That was a late cold spell 😀
Y’all put so much hard work into making your garden, but it will pay off when you harvest all the good stuff!! Love when you and Matt eat popsicles and talk for a while!! Loved the story about repelling out the attic window!! Had to laugh! God bless and love to all!! 💕🤗🙏🏻
Haha I always keep a jar of Peanut butter in my desk draw. I'm 60 and as long as I have good Strawberry preserves and Milk I'm more then fine eating that twice a week.
We still have a VCR player and some tapes.
My late husband loved the lonesome dove movie.
That is a good one! Thank you Kathleen. I'm sorry you lost your husband.
I love watching y’all and it’s like I’m there with y’all listening to all what you are saying and your stories
I think that little purple flower plant you weren’t sure what it was is a spotted dead nettle.
Thank you 😀
This made me smile, I too have all the season's of Gunsmoke, which I love, and also Wagon Train. I"m going to check out Tombstone..............
I like those old western movies too I wish Tha still made them
With the on and off snow happening all day today in western Maryland, y'all also helped me chill out tonight so thank y'all very much!
Like you I enjoy my grow bags, I got the one with the handles so I can move them around like a me to to keep them in the sun or shade. Both of y'all's funny stories make me laugh. I did purchase a 100 gallon grow bag for sweet potatoes and to my surprise at did pretty good. Of course it's just me and my boys so it don't take many sweet potatoes for us.
Those hosta tips are good to eat like asparagus. I also pickled them. The deer sure like em.
Oh to be young and dumb, it’s a wonder we survived😅 remember the rental tape sticker “be kind, rewind”. You got a good jump on the garden!!! Rest up and feel better you two💛💛
Thanks beautiful
