That is really cool you guys found a salamander. They are really rare nowadays..

I hope you two realize what a joy you are to those of us who get the privilege of watching your videos. I also hope you realize what a wonderful life you have there in the holler away from the fast paced life of the city. Each time I watch your videos and listen to you talk I have to confess being envious of your lifestyle. That is the lifestyle my parents and grandparents lived when I was growing up. What a wonderful life it was! Oh, that I could go back to those days and enjoy them again! 😊

It melted my heart to see the love Matt showed to the girls for Mother’s Day. It reminded me there are so many joys that we overlook every day. So grateful!

A humorous anecdote as told by Ronald Reagan , seems appropriate with your lower garden next to a creek , removing rocks and all , hope you enjoy it 🙂 "There was an old Kansas farmer there. He had a piece of creek bottom land that had never been developed at all -- it was all rocks and brush and all messed up. And he started in on it, clearing it -- the underbrush, and hauling away the rocks, then cultivating the soil there. And he planted a garden -- everything from vegetables on to corn, and it really became a garden spot. And he was pretty proud of what he'd done. So, one Sunday morning in church after the service he asked the preacher if he wouldn't stop by to have a look. Well, the preacher arrived. And he took one look and he said, ``Oh, this is wonderful.'' He said, ``These are the biggest tomatoes I've ever seen. Praise the Lord.'' And he said, "Those green beans, that squash, those melons.'' He said, ``The Lord really has blessed this place. And look at the height of that corn.'' He said, "God has really been good.'' And the old boy was listening to all this, and he was getting more and more fidgety and finally he blurted out, ``Reverend, I wish you could have seen it when the Lord was doing it by himself.'' 😄

Tipper, I have a question for you, if you see this would you plz respond? It’s about your hat you always wear when you’re working, I was wondering if it’s UPF 50 to prevent sunburn? I ask because, I just got through a scalp skin cancer and need to wear a hat with UPF50 to, hopefully prevent another skin cancer. Could you tell me more about your hat and where you got it? Btw, Matt’s surprise for all his girls is so thoughtful and kind, why can’t this world be full of more Matt’s. You all are very fortunate to have one another. Such a beautiful family y’all are. ❤

How thoughtful of you and Matt to do that for the girls. Such a sweet family!

I can tell you getting a gift from your daddy always means the world to a daughter. That is so sweet and thoughtful for each of the girls. Can't wait to see that corn coming up. Blessings to everyone and happy mothers day.

Huggs to Matt for recognizing Mother's Day for his family of Mothers ❤❤❤❤

I absolutely love the beautiful relationship that you both have with your girls. There is a couple of very lucky little fellows that are now in line for some of that good good love that you guys have. May God continue to bless you richly.

I tell you what Tipper, you did a mighty fine thing when you found Matt to be your soul mate! You have been blessed with a wonderful husband, father to the girls, grandfater to the boys and a friend to all he meets. Not only can he do just about anything he puts his mind to but he doesn't seem to complain about any of it. Your channel & family bless me with every single video you put out. Thank you & hugs to you all.

Matt, you're a great Daddy, Tipper, you are a great Mama..❤❤ Your girls are so blessed to have you..Wishing all you lovely ladies a wonderful Mother's Day...❤

Matt is such a wonderful father to his sweet girls...I feel like Corie is looking more like Katie sometimes I can't tell them apart usually I can. I love how happy Corie was with her gift.

A wave of bittersweet nostalgia sweeps over me as I watch your videos. I remember my parents and grandparents in their gardens. I love gardening because they loved gardening.

Matt you're the best Daddy ever!! Happy Blessed Mother's Day to Tipper,Corie, Granny and Katie I sure do love y'all God Bless..Camille 😘❤ 💥💐💥💐⚘💐⚘💐🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

That Matt! He is such a thoughtful and kind man! What a Sweetheart to give his daughters a gift for their first Mother’s Day! 💙🙏😇

You and Matt are wonderful parents. The girls are lucky they have you.

i laughed when matt said "you got your chocolate in my peanut butter".. i havent heard that in forever.

A garden is a perfect place to spend time with friends and family. Out in nature, growing fresh veggies, and using God’s green earth for what it’s meant to be used for. Hard work, but the rewards are great!!! 🌽

Congratulations!!! Finally got your corn planted!!! Happy Mothers Day to you, Tipper and both girls and especially Granny! God bless you all. Matt is such a good thoughtful man!!

Corie will be tickled about the green beans!!! that’s such a thoughtful gift ❤

The best food in the world comes from your own garden. There is just something about watching your garden grow, tending it, and harvesting. The food just tastes better. Its a unique pleasure and satisfaction eating what you have grown. I think of my Mommas vegetable dinners with hot biscuits or cornbread and homemade pickles and chow chow.....the best eating in the world. Love your videos. Thanks for continuing traditions that are such a part of the southern way of life. Y'all are precious people!

I hope your corn does better than ours did! It was so tall; about four and a half feet. It was very green, and the stalks thick and straight. We had a severe thunderstorm with 80 mph winds. It flattened every row, snapping most of the corn at it's base. As my husband said,"The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord!"

I’ve been waiting for this day, since you announced it! I am as excited, as you guys to watch the evolution of this garden! Happy Mother’s Day moms!🙏❤️🇨🇦

I bet your daddy would also love that your family is there planting the garden as well as grandsons there where his memory lingers. Happy Mother's Day to You Tipper and Granny, Katie and Corie!

Silver Queen was my grandparents favorite. They had a fairly large garden but not big enough for corn (they did grow a row of popcorn). They bought Silver Queen from a local farm market and canned it. I've tried for years but l can't replicate how my grandma cooked her corn. Lots of pepper and bacon drippings

That Matt is a good daddy! And you're a good mama too! So happy you got the big garden platted. I know that's a load off your mind.

Ohhh I make pickled beans and corn together. Learned from my Daddy who learned from his Granny, my great Granny. Shewmamma that's good eating Matt!

I love to see you and Matt working and doing things together on your channel he seems to have hit his stride on here since his retirement! Such sweet gestures he made towards Katie and Corie for Mother’s Day and it’s so good to hear that granny is doing well! Thanks again for sharing your lives with all of us!! ❤

Happy Mother’s Day. ❤

What a loving, thoughtful man Matt is. Tipper, you & he struck gold with each other!

Hoping there's enough room for you to stagger your watermelon plants a little cause we know you love them! Used my old skid steer today to prep my little garden. Certainly not conventional but does a decent job, and I can do it by myself. Gardening is food for the soul long before the actual harvest, and I'm happy that Pap's garden is back up and running. Matt is a sweetheart of a dad and husband to be so considerate of all his girls! Happy Mother's day!

You know he’s looking down from heaven smiling, the home is still in the family, his grandkids are having children and the garden is growing again. Blessed

Good job! Y’all are a great team! Reminded me of my child hood in the garden… Saturday morning it was all hands on deck ( 5 of us kids) and a lot of evenings after daddy got home from his day job ( auto body repairman) we’d be in the garden … hoeing, pulling grass and weeds, sometimes watering, and then a lot of picking and hauling it back to the back porch . Fresh garden vegetables for supper every evening, tomato sandwiches whenever we wanted, cucumber salad on the side of our barbecue meat ( daddy love to bbq) Good times! Good times! Sitting on the front porch shucking corn and kinfolk and neighbor women helping my mama and she /we’d help them at harvest. It was a joyous event in the community… sweet iced tea and bare feet ! cutting up and just having a good time with it! Canning a whole lot of it and sharing with the elderly and needy . We were so blessed! Those were the days ! Thanks for sharing this and bringing back the memories! ❤️🙏

Such a sweet moment when Corie saw what you all did for her for Mothers Day…so sweet.

So happy for y'all, you have been so excited about getting the corn planted, you are making memories to tell your grandbabies.

I LOVE Silver Queen corn. We used to go to the Eastern Shore many times during the summer and there are fields of corn for days….We’d always stop and get a few dozen ears. It’s the best. I could eat it every day…looks like you might be too. ❤ Happy Mother’s Day to you all.

You could always plant your “ putting by “ corn at once so canning or freezing can all be done, but save a little space to plant a few hills at staggered times to have enough “eating corn” all summer

My Daddy, back several years before he passed , was in his garden putting in some T-posts, when he lifted the post slammer a bit too high, and when he came down with it, it ricocheted off the end of the pole & hit him it the top of his li’l bald noggin! I told him he needed to go get it stitched up, as I could see his skull. He said, “ awww…you women always exaggerate!” I took him to the ER & it took 13 stitches to close it up! I said, “ Look Daddy, I guess the Dr. is exaggerating too! lol.

What a blessing! I'm so excited y'all got to plant the big garden. Happy Mother's Day Tipper, Corie, Katie, and Granny! What thoughtful gifts, Matt. I can truly see how much you cherish the women in your life!

The wider rows are definitely a great idea! When everything is coming in and full grown, it will be great to ride the mower in between rows to keep the grass at bay. I’ve did that in the past. New gardens have so many weeds and grass until they get established. You both are wonderful parents and have a beautiful family. God bless you all and Happy Mother’s Day.

This is how this world needs to be God bless this family. For they are a instrument of his peace.

From The Bronx, NY Hi Tipper 🤗 Happy Mother's Day to YOU🌹 GRANNY🌹& THE GIRLS🌹🌹 Glad to see the 🌽 corn being planted 🌽 . Matt came up with some VERY THOUGHTFUL, 1st Mothers Day Gifts for Katie & Coree. 👏👏👏👏. I mention this a couple of times before,. But, I know you all get a HUGE amount of comments & you can't possibly read them all. I watch alot of Alaskan Homesteader KZread Channels. To protect their gardens from Moose & other critters. They construct DIY wire electric fences, they use cattle panels & other types of wire. They buy a system that includes a battery about the size of a car battery w/ a solar panel about the same size of the battery & attach the system to the fence. Some purchase the systems from Home Depot, Amazon, etc, etc... Take Care Thanks for Sharing ALL MY BEST TO GRANNY 🙏🙏🙏

I just bought and received a beautiful pair of earrings that Katie made and they are beautiful! I wore them for Mother’s Day brunch and had so many compliments! I love Matt’s gifts for the girls. He is the sweetest papa 😊

My father used to use a chalk line to plant every seed he ever planted. He would also cut a stick pre-measured by him. For pole beans, it was 4 inches , for corn, it was 6 inches, for potatoes, it was 10 inches. You drop the stick then plant the seed. I thought he was being overly meticulous until once everything came up and got to looking lush, and then we would have people driving by our house so slowly to admire the perfection of our garden. And when Dad saw weeds in the garden, he would tell all of us kids, "I gotta hoe that will fit your hand just right!" And he would give us each a hoe of various sizes which did fit our hands "just right"! LOL!!!
