Our Cabbage Harvest was Pitiful but Family Camaraderie and Sweet Popsicles Brightened Our Day

- We finally faced the dreaded chore of uncovering the cabbage to see if it actually made anything. Disappointed at what we found, but really enjoyed spending the day in the garden with our girls here in the mountains of Appalachia.

I like what Corey is saying about wasting food. I think when you work close to the earth with gardens and raising animals you become very aware of how much work is involved to get food to the table. You do not want to waste.
Thank you Shirley 😀
That’s exactly how I learned to save little bits of veggies. We had a soup freezer bag. Just add to it- corn, carrots, onion , peppers and potatoes.
Loved this video of your sweet family working and laughing together, sharing good memories with one another. It cracks me up that Corie and Katie loved their teachers when they were little but hated school. LOL. I can just imagine what little stinkers they were. It sounds like they got it honestly from their Daddy who took all his clothes off and ran around the room in Kindergarten resulting in him getting sent home. Lol And speaking of the disappointments of gardening, my cucumbers were growing like gang busters with blooms galore. Then I notice some the of the leaves started to turn yellow, curl up and some were even getting spots. Being new to gardening, I didn’t realize how devastating the moldy mildew can be to cucumbers. Fortunately, I have been able to have plenty to eat with our meals and I have put up several jars of pickles. I will know what to do next year and will get on it at the first sign. I hope your family enjoys the Labor Day weekend. Thanks for always making me smile.
There just isnt anything better than growing your own food. The satisfaction of knowing that you grew it, raised it. Picked it or processed it.
It is so rewarding 😀
Loved watching the four of y’all talking about old times.
I love that pluck sound when picking beans from those vines. Thank you Cori for showing us the beans as you were picking. I was holding my breath waiting to see some. Regarding the cabbage…..well fiddlesticks!!!
😀
My sister is visiting and we watched this together. We laughed so much, talking about our own family gardening memories. Your popsicle session was so much fun! The deerhunter's parenting skills are epic! The school registration was too! LOL!
Love seeing you all together! Great memories! One of these days you'll have more kids running around the yard and eating popsicles.
Thank you Tipper for sharing!
You brought back memories of my growing up in my childhood home with all my siblings . My sisters and I would sit in the yard stringing green beans and talking while my dad was in the garden picking and my mom was in the kitchen canning.❤
We used to sing a song in school glee club called memories. One line was memories, pressed between the pages of my mind. Now I know what that means. At 13 not so much.
I was just talking about kindergarten yesterday on the drive to church. Ya'll are making such great memories with these videos. What a treasure to have them to look back on. God bless!
keeping it real is cool; most relatable video yet
Its been so hot this summer i welcome fall and winter, i love the changing of the season, ..
What an awesome video, in the last half I felt like I was just hanging out with y'all in the yard. Be blessed! 🙏✨
When Katie said, “I’m going for a chicken bucket” it reminded me of my daughter. She has always called KFC “chicken bucket” from the time she could talk. 😂
I love your videos. I also just love that the girls have no problem still helping out whether it be gardeningvor cooking. There is not enough of that today. Families don't do a lot of things together anymore. Kids grow up different nowa days.
I love it when you guys sit and talk eating your popsicle. Good family time.
My Mama had a Tupperware bowl that she kept in the freezer for leftover bits of veggies. She called it her “Soup Seed.” When the bowl was full, it was time for soup! She made the best vegetable soup! I love your garden! I used to have an acre garden when my children were young. Sure do miss all the wonderful vegetables. 💙🥹 Lots of memories of us in the garden.🥰♥️🙋🏻 ~Janis
Love that!
What a wonderful day, despite the poor cabbage harvest. Really enjoyed your sittin and talkin about such random things, really made me smile.
Oh my!! This reminds me of picking green beans with my Grandma. Then my first favorite part was getting to snap them. And my second favorite part was eating them after they were canned and Grandma always put bacon in them!! Yum!! Thanx for the memories!
Tipper could you make a video about making leather britches for those of us who have never made them from green beans? Maybe talk a bit more about them too? I have another question. Is there any sassafras around any more. As a young girl I loved tea made from sassafras.
What a pleasant family. Always remember these days.
The sounds of the birds calling and the insects whirring are so peaceful❤. Love watching your videos, they make me feel like I’m with family.
Glad you like them!
You have some beautiful daughters and I truly enjoy their playing and singing. Our porch growing up was always in use. Our house had a large open hallway with a porch at each end. The hallway was called a dog trot, it separated the kitchen and living room from the bedrooms and helped the breeze come through in the summer. Momma cooked on a wood burning stove winter and summer, so the hallway kept the heat out of the bedrooms, but in winter the cold wind blew through that hallway and the bedrooms were always cold.
You should write a book, I would like it very much and I'm sure others would as well.
Well, you sure can't say you didn't have one he'll of a bean patch this year. Your efforts really paid off.
Yes I'm thankful for the beans 😀 Thank you for watching!
Oh my goodness I just love you all you absolutely cracked me up, that's a wonderful video thanks for sharing
Make a little cole slaw and next year put newspaper down to block the weeds from coming up
Small, but better than nothing at all. The zinnia is pretty. Wish I had some of my grandma's zinnia seed. Hers were pretty and big like yours. Always enjoy your videos.🥰💖🙏
So true-better than nothing 😀 Thank you for watching!
Enjoyed this ! I hate the cabbage crop was very poor this year, sometimes location is all the difference, especially sun/shade, drainage, etc. The chickens got a good treat . Enjoy seeing y'all having a good time ,making it fun and cuttin up. These are the moments we remember all our lives ...overall a pretty good season for the crops ...a popsicle is always a great treat on a hot summer day...thanks appreciate y'all always. God bless...🙏❤
Corie, you should buy some of those divided freezer storage platers. Then you can put your veggies or mashed potatoes in separate sections and if you have any left over meat put it in a section then put in freezer. Then when your busy and need a quick meal it’s already there, just pull out of freezer, thaw it out in microwave or let it unthaw overnight in fridge. I do this when we only have enough leftovers to just feed one. Then when I knowIm going have a busy day and not home to cook for my hubby, I pull it out to unthaw so when he gets hungry that evening he just reheats in microwave and has a healthy hot meal instead of just fixin himself a sandwich. Tipper right too, just start a freezer bag to put all your left over veggies in and when it’s full make vegetable soup. You can even add any meat you have to add protein to it. I’ve did that before I discovered the divided freezer plates.
My first round of cabbages didn’t do well either. I had two that I left and put salt all around them to keep the slugs off and they actually turn out big. Almost 5 lbs each. Still I only got 2 good ones out of 12 that I planted. I still considered it a win bc I at least got 2 foot cabbages. Hopefully the next ones will be better!
All in all, aside from the cabbage letdown, your garden did well. There's always next year. Popsicles, family time, & reminiscing are a good way to pass time. 🌱🥰
It's so cool that you planted cabbage for sure! That's the beauty of gardening its exciting and just learning experience of what works! 🤷♀️🇨🇦
I’m sorry about your cabbage harvest. I’m glad that you got sweet memories of time spent together, though, with helping hands and funny songs and so much love and joy!
I love you all so very much
Thank you 😀
Thrilled to hear Katie mention being fond of one of my favorite authors, Carl Hiaasen.
I always planted cabbage as a fall crop as they tolerate frost well. I was surprise you guys planted them in spring
Lots of folks here do both 😀 Thank you for watching!!
I plant mine in Autumn so that I get less caterpillars. We don't get really cold winters in this part of New Zealand 🇳🇿
Corey, I understand the desire to save food/leftovers that won't be eaten. I've gone from cooking for a huge family to cooking for my son and I, it's hard to not cook for an army. I take the leftovers and put them in either plastic containers or ziploc bags, kind of like a homemade TV dinner, and freeze them to use on days I don't feel like cooking. Dollar Tree has the most cost-effective containers in my area.
When we were growing up, the grownups would sit under a big tree and work in corn or shell peas. Everybody would laugh and talk. Aunt Bobby would make pitchers of sweet tea. She would give us small bowls to put our peas in. We thought we were so big!🌽🍅
Tipper you have such a lovely family ang I enjoy watching your videos .It makes my day.😊🧡
Thank you Rose 😀
You are so blessed. What a lovely family.
Love and blessings from Israel
💙🇮🇱🙏
I'm looking forward to our New Zealand spring and getting Beans sown...I've only got a puny garden though .
Nice video🥰
My red potatoes did awesome in my 20 gallon grow bags. I love using those.
You and your family are a blessing!!
Paint drying! 😍😁🎀🙏🙏🎉🎊😀
I bought an extra large grow bag growing potatoes. Saw a guy on RUclips doing it. I’m hoping to dump out the bag and find potatoes? I’ll keep you posted. I to didn’t have a good cabbage year.
I hope you get a lot 😀
*high five* for the second planting on the tomatoes! I knew they would grow just fine. If they are still producing when frost comes just move them into the greenhouse or cover them! Ya just gotta love grow bags!
😀
Do you put the cover on your cabbage for bugs or what? We put little covers on ours made with old sheer curtains and just tie them around them and they loose as they grow. We do raise a lot just to eat and make a run of ktaut. I also see you have Jo pie weed or Queen of the meadow I your garden love these. Have them in my purple garden. The root of these breaks up acid kidney stones just did this week .they are great to have if you have stones or heel or bone spurs. Fyi! Love you all!
Thank you Leta!! We cover them to prevent insect damage 😀 It really works well...when you keep the weeds out too 😀
“We grew weeds and they’re beautiful.” -Katie. 😂
😀
The grow bags are great, just have to keep them watered or set up a drip. They tend to dry out easily. But I think Kale would be a great choice. I've done lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes and all worked our well. Only drawback was the watering often.
Hey to all you beautiful girls and thank you so much for sharing your life and stories and music with us. I live in north GA and every video just about reminds me of growing up with my Grannie. I love the wives tales and superstitions. I'm pretty new to this channel but I wanted to ask if you could do a video of the special gifts of healing that so many turned. My Grannie could cure Thrush she would pick a certain leaf from a white oak I think and say a Bible verse all she needed was father's name mother's name and the child's birth date. She would go off alone and she had family calling her from out of state. Everyone swore it worked. She was taught this by a old man I think a relative? But she had to pass it on to another male before she died and he will have to pass it on to a women. She also had an aunt who could stop bleeding and another aunt that could stop the pain from a burn. Anyway I thought if you haven't done a video already about this I think it would be great. And if you already have done one then forgive me and send me the link if possible. Thank you again for being the past alive and celebrating the amazing culture of the Appalachian people. God bless you and your beautiful family. Also I want to learn the fiddle so of your daughters give lessons let me know!!!! The music is amazing too.
So glad you enjoy our videos!! I've done a video on talking fire out and removing warts. You can find them on my channel home page here: ruclips.net/user/CelebratingAppalachia There's a search bar you can use to fine them. Thank you!!
Sorry about the cabbage. Looks like enough to have a mess of fried cabbage or steamed with potatoes, onions and carrots. Season with a little of bacon grease…love to add fried spam. I put a small amount of buttermilk to wet the spam. Shake the spam slices in flour and fry. Yum!
Katie is right Carl Hiaasen books are great! Crazy.
Sorry about your cabbage patch. But I love watching the girls help you in the garden because they are so funny. I think I will call them the Cabbage Patch Kids.
😀 Good names for them!
Sensodyne tooth paste works wonders for sensitive teeth. I've been using it for years.
I so enjoy watching you folks harvest your garden. Keep the videos coming!
I love fresh green beans with fatback .
Yes! Neem oil is wonderful! I 😄
We actually watched that moonshine episode of Andy Griffith last week.
😀
awe hate that your cabbage didnt grow, but ya'll sure have been blessed with a nice bounty of garden goods.
We sure have. Thank you for watching 😀
I hope to engage my grandchildren in my vegetable garden, I want them to know where real food comes from. At the moment only the 18 month old baby girl wants to “help” me by picking green tomatoes and standing on my seedlings. Lol
😀
Hey y’all! Sorry if we have missed this already, but what brand of pops are they? We gotta know! LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!
Outshine fruit popsicles. We get them in Texas.
Sorry about the cabbage. Something always did really bad each year in my garden. I never had luck with cabbage, so I quit planting it when I cut down on my garden size,
It is always something 😀
I can't bite into a popsicle either, even when I was a kid.
Maybe Granny can crochet Olive a sweater.....
😀
I hope you will get together this winter ❄️
😀 Thank you for watching
I love when it’s just my daughter and us…
What brand popsicles do u all eat?
….lastly, what did u all eat for dinner after that busy day?
Thank you Kathy! They are Outshine popsicles. We had hamburgers and fresh corn on the cob and blueberry pie 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Good heavens to Betsy😋
Do you guys eat Redbud pods? I know they grow down there wild...you can use as a bean substitute also the flowers are edible.
I haven't ever tried them 😀
Have you done a video about canning tomatoes?
I haven't yet 😀 I bet Whippoorwill Hollow has-look on her channel 😀
Good crop of Joe Pye weeds
😀 They are everywhere
What about growing a fall crop of cabbage? The ones you harvested look perfect for fried bacon & cabbage. 😋 Enjoyed as usual.
Lots of folks do that 😀 I should too
Sorry about your cabbage.but that's the life of us gardeners.youll have better next year.
I was forced to eat turnips as a child by someone who was keeping for the day. She said I wasn't going to get up from the table until I ate them. What seemed liked a long time to me, I sat there for a long time...forced myself to eat the turnips and unfortunately they came right back up. She looked at me and said I guess I won't do that again. I thought to myself, I guess you won't ( I was in third grade) To this day, I have a tremendous dislike for turnips and will never plant or eat them. But I hope you enjoy them.
I think it's just an all-around bad year I've only had one medium sized zucchini this year and usually by this time I've got it up to my armpits my corn the ears are only half finished I haven't seen hiding her hair a cucumbers my cantaloupe keep blooming and that's about all they do I think it's just a bad year but at least now I know it's not just me
I did enjoy... 😊 But, wondering why your cabbage was covered ? 😕😊😁
Thank you!! To protect it from insects-mostly cabbage worms 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Thank you ! Is there no ORGANIC SPRAY ? I've only grown small gardens... Onions, potato, tomato, gr. beans.some leafy greens... 😁
@@dinahjackson8146 The cover's work really well 😀 well when you don't plant your cabbage in a flower bed LOL!
@@CelebratingAppalachia 😁😁😁
🌻🌳🌻
😀
What does Corie do for a job?
Corie works for me and she manages her and Katie's RUclips channel 😀
I love watching Matt he just sits there listening to all girls talk. He pipes in every now and then. What a happy family.
It's rare to have a garden when everything does good.
Popsicles will never let you down.
So true 😀
Love listening to the 4 of you talking while eating popsicles. Enjoy those times - it goes by quick! 🧡
Glad you enjoy it!
Katie & Corrie’s banter during popsicle time was my favorite. You can tell they are the BEST of friends. Makes me wish I had twins! What a special connection.
My sisters are twins... 🙂
Katie and Corrie's memories of school days. I remember in 1st grade having to spend recess indoors, writing "I will not put pepper in anyone's milk again" 10 times. Oh, torture to a 6 year old.
😀 Love that memory
@@CelebratingAppalachia I cannot say enough how much I love your family. I go to sleep every night listening to our watching your videos
Lol these girls are funny
@@CelebratingAppalachia I remember when I was in first grade my teacher was Mrs. Louise Terry. It was nap time one day and we had some new headphones with padding on them. Mrs. Terry was out of the room, and I had it in my head that I wanted to try on them headphones just to see what they felt like. I was so scared of getting caught that I hemmed and hawed and waited; finally got up the nerve and put them on. . .not listening to music or nothin', when in walks Mrs. Terry. I got my hand whipped with her ruler [this was the early 70s] something fierce while everybody else was out to recess. When my mama got her teacher's aide certification and started working at my elementary school, guess whose room she was assigned to? Mrs. Louise Terry's.
@@johnnabuzby6103 😀 Thank you for sharing that memory!
I am a retired teacher (middle school and elementary). I love Tipper's remembrance of Corie's teacher saying she was the kind of student who made her want to be a teacher. Then Matt chimes in with Katie's the kind that makes a teacher want to retire! Lol. I have had plenty of both types! I honestly don't think Katie would make me want to retire, however! My very first public school teaching experience was not the best. I was assigned two groups of kids in middle school who had been identified as "potential dropouts" and I literally went home and cried every day!
Katie cracks me up ! She's so silly I just love it !
You should get a kickback from those popsicles. I haven’t bought popsicles since I was a kid. Now I buy a box every week!! And I know I can’t be the only one!! 😂
Yes! I'm buying them also. 😄
Love that 😀
😀
I just started buying Popsicles since seeing you relish them!!! My 6 yr old grandson and my husband are enjoying them, also!!
You both deserve every break with a Popsicle!!!
Me, too!! I’d never heard of them until they started eating them! 😅 Now I buy a couple of boxes every week. We love them!
I love this video, with the four of you. There is always good-hearted banter when this group is together. I promise you it's real it's not just done for the video, they really do act and talk exactly like this. You guys are a really wonderful family!
When life gives you lemons, Katie will write a song about it. 🤣
😀
I love ya’ll even more for remembering that Andy Griffith episode of the moonshiner wearing cow shoes 🐮❤️❤️❤️❤️
I see a good ole fashioned bean breakin in the future. When I was growing up in Tennessee we had cornshuckins, pea hullin, pea hull jelly. Picking, peeling, cutting apples from the orchard around our chicken coop and then drying them in the sun on screens we made our own souse meat between Thanksgiving and Christmas. All kinds of things most folks today wouldn't begin to understand or undertake. Neighbor ladies from out the road would visit one another and just sit down and start helping like it was their own garden being worked up. Sure do miss my grandma 👵😔
When something goes wrong like y’all’s cabbage, I say “oh well the company was good.” That’s what this video reminded me of.
Family is the greatest garden to grow.
So true 😀
Your family time is a treasure. ❤️
It is 😀 Thank you for watching!!
It’s fun seeing Corrie’s work face. My family all have that face when we’re in the flow.
Thank y'all for a very pleasant Sunday evening. Enjoyed your company. God bless.
Glad you enjoyed it Sam 😀
Although your cabbage didn't do well, you definitely have been blessed with a great bounty of other crops. Happy to see y'all making more memories to cherish. Have a blessed week 🙏🤗💕
Those little cabbages are so tender-you will love them. We purposefully eat some of the young ones because of that!
I love the coconut 🥥 popsicles nice to see the family all together 🧡
Thank you! They are so good 😀
Where do you buy your popsicles? You've had me drooling for some for weeks.
@@marysurbanchickengarden you can get them at Walmart where I live
So much fun joining you guys in your garden. I feel like I’m right there with you. Thank you for inviting me into your yard! 😊🇨🇦
Y’all make me laugh 😂. I love your videos!
I'm so glad 😀
I sauteed fresh yellow squash and onions for dinner last night. Man, was that good! So, I did it again tonight. : ) Your family has enjoyed a great harvest this summer, overall. I'm so glad for you! Yummy eating all winter, I pray. I've seen many say they didn't fare so well for one reason or another (lack of rain, bugs and such). But we're all blessed we won't go hungry anytime soon.
Yum that sounds good 😀
Glad to see mom and dad wearing hats to keep the sun off your face. The girls need to start to. I don’t mean to preach but i am currently having radiation on my nose from skin cancer. I wish i could tell my younger self to stay out of the sun. Just an fyi. Love y’all 💜
I wish I had worn a hat when I was their age too 😀 Thank you for watching!
I LOVE THIS!! “What are you guys… super human?” That absolutely made me laugh!
😀
Just love this family!
Thank you 😀
