Love your little "accidental" sitting area. Some of the best things in life happen unplanned. God bless.
Love that little sitting area!👍🥰
This would be a great time to plant some weed. Thanks for sharing.
God bless all here .
I know your cabbage is going to be GREAT!
Your tomato plants look very healthy. Sliced tomatoes are delicious ..
Always enjoy the garden videos.
Beautiful! Now I need to get busy. My dad and I used to garden together. I miss him so and this has brought me happy memories!
Thanks for the garden tour. Brings back many memories. You are very rich with many treasures.
Yes dear I love old maids too. Sure are pretty
So many folks have now begun to truly appreciate the importance of the self-reliance that comes from planting your own garden, there’s no doubt that your honest, thorough and calming garden tours have been indispensable to so many, Tipper! 💯🇺🇸❣️

Your garden is looking great ,a verity of food in a small space.
Pinkeye purple hulls are something I have eaten all my life. My dad grew them and I grow them.
Wonderful garden tour. I'm finishing canning some beans from the garden as I watch this. Tonight for supper, we had baked okra, tomatoes, zipper cream peas, green beans, apple sauce, and BBQ pork chops. All the veggies came from the garden as did the apples.

Your garden is a joy to wander through!! As you talked about each vegetable, I could taste them in my mind. I have always loved homemaking from the time I was a little girl, every aspect of it. Food, housecleaning, gardening, crafting, etc.. I have always felt like I was keeping old traditions alive simply by homemaking. My house is my sanctuary and I love being in it. I like comfort over spotlessness. My house is clean, but you wouldn’t want to eat off the floors like you can at my parents’ house. I am more like my aunt - comfort and cozy rules the roost. In fact everyone that comes over to visit tells me they feel like they just came home, and they can kick back and relax. That makes me feel good, I don’t want to live in a museum, afraid to breathe or touch anything. I like when my friends can pull up a chair in the kitchen and we can visit while I cook or do the dishes. The kitchen always makes the best conversation area! Your gardening videos give me that same relaxed, comfort and cozy feeling. I love studying about anything to do with food - cooking and preserving it, serving it, and the history of how women in the past fed their families. I have a collection of home ec textbooks from as early as 1920, and I love to reread them, and make the simple recipes girls long ago learned to make in class. Your videos make me feel at home. Thank you, Tipper! Donna. : )

@@CelebratingAppalachia Tipper, I'm in love with those reddish gold sunflowers! They're such an unusual and beautiful color. Such a nice patio set you've got in your yard. Your garden is a sight to behold, thanks for the tours throughout the growing season. Wishing you a belated happy birthday from your "friend you haven't met yet"- -Johnna here in New Bern, NC. Keep up the great content and God bless y'all. P.S. I've been sharing your videos about gardening and Appalachian food ways with my youngest son Andrew as a good resource for him and his wife Jocelyn to go by when they're ready and able to make a homestead/family compound in the mountains of our great state of North Carolina. They want to be as off the grid and self sufficient as possible, so I've been letting them know about what y'all plant, succession planting, how you preserve foods, etc and strongly advised them to get a wood stove for their future home so they'll always have heat and something to cook on when the power goes out. Right now, he's in the Marines, about to be promoted to Sergeant [E-5] and they own a home in Beaufort, SC, but they're gonna get to Appalachia as quick as they can!
Happy Birthday Tipper. God bless you!

So true. It’s called Fishing, not catching. It’s called Gardening, not harvesting. Thank goodness both ‘tasks’ bring joy, regardless of what arrives at table
Me and Mum did all the growing on the farm.......heaps of home composting, blood/bone fert did the job
As a young boy I remember helping my dad in the gardens. We tried to grow several different varieties of this and that like y'all do. It was exciting to see which one's did the best and lasted the longest.
Your videos are so nice.Happy gardening 🏡🦋

What a beautiful garden this late in the season. You have been so blessed. Those "marigolds" look like cosmos to me.
What a wonderful garden tour, thank you Tipper.
Every year when we've planted cabbage they always get infested with bugs. Seems like they can eat a whole cabbage patch overnight. I want more tomato plants next year & some potatoes & herbs & peppers. I don't want anymore cabbage! I love that orange sunflower & all your flowers scattered throughout. Hugs!
Marigolds are good at repelling pests..... excellent planted amongst your vegetables 😎

The Garden looks great! You all have done a blessed job cultivating it. I would like to see a video of how you compost all your trimmings and bio mass. Thanks again for sharing.
Love your garden. Wish I had the space for veggies. Although I'm not a fan of okra, your plants are so gorgeous, I may need to grow a few next year. I do have lots of flowers. With phlox, we have a spring creeping phlox, very low to the ground that blooms in early spring & a tall summer phlox, like yours, that grows in summer.
My grandma had a may paw bush on the side of her house and, but, I think, I may have tried it once. I always like making a special trip to near by green houses to pick out flowers and, wherever, I lived, I always made a plan in my head how,I wanted my flowers arranged and,if there was room,I always liked having a flower bed. But, this one place, I lived not long after, I went to the greenhouse and got all my flowers picked out for the front yard, and, not long after, I got them planted well,it was the opposite of a drought, too much rain, it done this 3 yrs in a row where, I lost my flowers. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing you beautiful garden with us Tipper,God bless!
Would you do a video about Purslane? I doubt most ppl know what it is. It's so good to see a younger generation making Tinctures and knowing plants and what they can do for us!! This is my first year planting late tomatoes to and I used a sucker as well.

Would love to try the tomatoes that re seeds them self.
A quick tip for you-- if you allow a cucumber to fully mature on the vine for seed saving, the vine will die shortly after. The whole goal of the vine is to produce a viable mature fruit that will continue reproducing, so once you allow one to fully mature, the plant thinks it's job is done and begins to die. Because of this fact, I only seed save at the very end of the season to ensure continued harvest.

I also love the little buds on zinnias! I remember walking around with my sister and grandmother and being so excited to see them and trying to guess what color they were going to be when they bloomed out. We helped pull weeds from the beds and she would tell us about her mother's flowers. We would help gather the seeds from her many types of flowers in the fall. They went into envelopes to save for the next year. I don't ever remember her labeling anything she knew what they were. Flowers of any kind always remind me of her. I have the tall flocks in my garden that came from a start that she gave me 30 years ago. I also have the short ones which we call creeping flocks. I have always had a great love for all flowers. As I have gotten older I have often wondered if it's because they are so amazing or if it's the fact that they are so intertwined with memories of my amazing grandmother.
