I love watching Matt he just sits there listening to all girls talk. He pipes in every now and then. What a happy family.

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.

It's rare to have a garden when everything does good. Popsicles will never let you down.

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 & 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.

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.

When life gives you lemons, Katie will write a song about 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!! 😂

Love listening to the 4 of you talking while eating popsicles. Enjoy those times - it goes by quick! 🧡

Katie cracks me up ! She's so silly I just love it !

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.

“Any medicinal weeds in there?“ I like the way Corey thinks! 👍🏻😎👍🏻

Family is the greatest garden to grow.

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!

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.

I love ya’ll even more for remembering that Andy Griffith episode of the moonshiner wearing cow shoes 🐮❤️❤️❤️❤️

It’s fun seeing Corrie’s work face. My family all have that face when we’re in the flow.

Your family time is a treasure. ❤️

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! 😊🇨🇦

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 👵😔

“This is brought to you by cabbage.” Your daughters crack me up! ❤

Loved watching the four of y’all talking about old times.

Thank y'all for a very pleasant Sunday evening. Enjoyed your company. God bless.

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 🙏🤗💕

I LOVE THIS!! “What are you guys… super human?” That absolutely made me laugh!

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.

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.❤

Lol, I think that was the funniest Popsicle session I've seen yet, Matt getting thrown out of kindergarten, lol.

Those kindergarten stories are hilarious

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 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!!!

Blessings everyone. Thanks for sharing

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 💜

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!

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!

I love the coconut 🥥 popsicles nice to see the family all together 🧡

I loved napping with my son Brett when he was little

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!

Its been so hot this summer i welcome fall and winter, i love the changing of the season, ..

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.

I had lots of fun visiting. I even cried a bit missing my garden. Laughed a lot too ya all were a hoot with your stories

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 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.

Y’all make me laugh 😂. I love your videos!

I love the idea of gettin in the truck and finding findin someone else who had a good year with cabbage. That is hilarious!! And crocheted pumpkins might not taste good at Thanksgiving. Reminds me....I had a bowl of fake apples sitting on my dining table. I had a bunch of family over and the next day there was a fake apple with teeth marks in it and a chunk bitten out of it. To this day I don't know who tried to eat my fake apple but they probably won't try that again.

Some Woodpeckers bang on objects to attract a mate. I also had a Woodpecker that would visit my home each morning and bang on the siding outside my bedroom - luckily, after a few days of banging, he found his loved one, and they moved to raise a family of Woodpeckers in the woods behind my house.

Just love this family!

This reminds me of childhood. I love when you mentioned the surprise Lillie's. My mom had them in her yard. Thanks for sharing

It's a 4 POPSICLE snack today! Love watching your funny daughters, make me laugh 😂! Sorry about the cabbage, all isn't growing well in Illinois either. Katie drove right past me in IL, I'm in Rockford, that's when she went to Iowa.

Talking about a way to preserve food. When I was a boy my grandmother that lived in Kentucky used to use all of her stuff up that was in the refrigerator to make a soup and it was called burgoo. Yeah extra chicken that was left over shredded up extra hamburger if it was in it would be ground up along with all the vegetables and stuff that she needed to do and put it all together and make a big soup out of it and it was darn tasty and you could also freeze it just a part of my childhood that I don’t get anymore. My grandmother passed on she lived to be 103 years old.

You grew giant Brussel Sprouts, that's a good thing!

You all are just some wonderful people. I was partly raised on a farm in North Western Ohio and I love being allowed to peek in on your lives if it is cooking or planting and sharing stories. That farm was the only real happiness I had as a kid. I wish you all the best.

Hands down the best popsicle session ever! Y’all make me laugh. You silly girls still do the giggly twin thing while Mom is talking. 😂

Now look my dears - it’s all a matter of perspective, PR and marketing. You have not failed at cabbages but rather you have been successful at growing a couple of magnificent Brussels Sprouts. Be proud and boast a bit xx

Totally enjoyed the stories. Laughing with you!

I remember that Andy Griffith show! The cow prints...🤭

I enjoy this family so much it makes want to clean my room and garage so I can invite them over after church.

Sorry about your cabbage. But I heard you say OUR, that is you and me. That our tomatoes matt poked fun at are looking good! Yay We just might those tomatoes, and we can giggle at matt. I had such a fun day with you guys. When you said that you all were going over to Cory's house to work on her garden, I wanted to yell, I get to ride the truck bed! God bless all of you, and Olive.

This reminds me of my family while planting or picking from the garden. I love The Appalachian Life. Thank you for your videos. God bless.. 🇺🇸🌹❤️

My mother use to save all her left overs in quart jars and make soup. She would always add ajar of tomatoes, onions, celery and potatoes. It was always so good…I still do that today. I even put chicken, beef or what ever left over all in the same pot…grilled cheese sandwich always went good with the soup.

I got purple cabbage going since April.. My cabbage never came to a head. Its still out there in the garden. Rural NY, so dry!!

I am glad you have a family, I haven’t had one for years.but my Lord is always with me. He said he would never leave us. ❤

As much as one loves their children's significant others, it is always so special to have your children home alone . In my case, it is my boys.

Corie, when I was raising my family, any leftover veggies from supper were drained and when at room temperature, I would dump them into a ziplock bag in my freezer. Even tomatoes that were getting overly ripe, I would cut up and add in. Potatoes that were getting too old, anything like that. Because there were 5 of us, I used a gallon sized bag, but now that it is just me, I use a half gallon bag. When I am ready for vegetable soup, I just cook my stew meat and dump in my bag of mixed vegetables and nothing goes to waste. Sometimes, there would just be a serving spoon of corn or Lima beans or pintos,but it all adds up. You can do the same with fruit. Then use it for smoothies.

Well live and learn, but at least no snakes were found in the weeds. And even though the cabbage didn't make, the rest of the garden was beautiful! What a great gift all the grow bags. That was so nice. And can't wait for the watermelons!! hahahah have your teeth floated like a horse---now that is funny... Love it when you all get together! Oh have to check the acorns out to see if it is a knife fork or spoon in it. I hope we have a good wet winter to make up for this no rain summer. Cow shoes---that was Andy Griffith show--loved that episode. I had a woodpecker once that decided to peck on our gutters at 6 in the morning. Now that was loud. I guess he got the bugs that fell out. Can't wait till y'all sit around the fire and play guitars again! Haha--Matt streaking---now that is funny! Love yall sitting around talking. God Speed to you all!

keeping it real is cool; most relatable video yet

This was extremely heart warming to watch! Sorry about the cabbage. ❤️

I have been struggling after a difficult time in my life. And I wish you knew watching your gardening excitement, you love of family and love of the history of your folks has helped me get through. I thoroughly enjoy your adventures, my Mom was a Kentucky girl, my gramma a Tennessee girl and I feel homesick for the stories and you bring that back for me I thank your whole family. Y’all make my life less lonesome

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.

Sorry about the cabbage! Still so much good bounty, though, well done! Fun family times together and sharing over the popsicles.. I agree, I think that Pop company needs to sponsor you, you are a good "influencer", people are buying them up 🙂 My brother and I reminisce alot about school days too.. One of my embarrassing memories as a 1st grader was the day I was just 'over" being at school, so I faked a "stomache ache" and went to the sick room. The lady Principal came in and was on to me and questioned me if I was really "sick".. Well I stuck by my bold face lie and they called my Mom, who came and took me home. My conscience starting really bothering me and I remember walking out of school with my head down in shame. I don't remember if I ever came clean, but my Mom was no dummy either, so I may have been punished, I don't remember, lol.. Your chickens will be eating "high on the hog" as my Mom used to say with all the greens from the garden! Hoping we'll see another video with you down at Corie''s soon harvesting her garden! God bless you all and have a great week!

I like hearing your Conversations. Such a Neat Family.

I loved this video today. It was so much fun to hear all the stories about kindergarten with Matt & the girls. Matt getting kicked out of kindergarten was hilarious. I see where the girls get their fun loving & bold ways now. Corie, you could crochet Olive a sweater for fall coming up. I would call your garden a wonderful success this year. Thanks for taking us along. Hugs to you all!!

Remember to dress in layers tank top then shirt on next then sweatshirt then sweater that will keep you all WARM AS TOAST !!!

I’d enjoy a video or series detailing how you’ve laid out your garden, how you’ve grown and developed it over time, what you plant when, and how you keep it up during the growing season. My grandmother (who lived about 100 miles SW of you) always had a big garden like yours but the knowledge was never passed to my generation. Been binging your videos all week. Thanks.

So sorry about your cabbage crop. Maybe you can get some to make kraut at a stand! Who can be too sad with the tall zinnias smiling at you and Katie making up a song! Ha. Nice family popsicle break! Corie...crochet olive a neck collar! Sometimes called a scarf or snood. She will love it.

Delightful!! Thank you for another wonderful visit! ❤️🇨🇦

Popsicle Time is the best! Pulling weeds, not so much! ;-0 Excellent video, thanks

It was nice spending time with your family today! Thanks.

Love every second of this video....❤❤❤❤

This was a sweet video. It makes me feel nostalgic. It's nice that you captured a little of that for the girls to look back on.

Great times with the family. Enjoying the videos ❤️👍Thank you. Love the coconut to 😁

I am so impressed by your amazing family and the incredible garden you tend all year long. Everything looks so lush and healthy. Really surprising that the cabbage did not do as well as expected. But the bounty you have gotten so far from the garden is beyond wonderful. I am so inspired by all of you! Even the popsicle breaks are charming and delightful. God bless you all and keep you safe!!! Greetings from Northern AZ.

Those times of sharing good memories and story telling are the best.

Sorry about your cabbages Tipper. It seems like there’s always some heartbreak in gardening. I went to harvest my beets last week and some rodent had taken a few nibbles out of every single one. I didn’t know whether to curse or cry, so I just fed the beet greens to the chickens and picked beans instead. I very much enjoy the quiet talks with you and Hubby, but your girls certainly liven things up! What a joy and treasure they are!

To bad about the cabbage, hopefully you can find some at a local farmers market, I like cabbage, but your other garden items did well, enjoy those daughters, you all are fine folks.

Sure sorry about your cabbage patch! But your Family talk was great. God Bless. Jean

What a pleasant family. Always remember these days.

I fell in love with you guys, very down to earth, decent people...hard to find these days! 🙂

Well, you sure can't say you didn't have one he'll of a bean patch this year. Your efforts really paid off.

Make a little cole slaw and next year put newspaper down to block the weeds from coming up

You have cute Cabbage Patch Kids🥰

Evening, Miss tipper, Family. Nice looking garden, stay cool.

Sorry the cabbage was a bust. But there's always next year. Matt cracked me up with his "she's a DOG" comment and his kindergarten streaker story. So sweet to hear about the girls kindergarten days!

You wonderful people are the real deal! Best wishes!

Happy family 👪 💓 💛 💙 Love wins always ❤ 💕

I just picked a mess of peas in my skirt /cause my hands got to full /the pea plants climbed to the top of the wire and then went all the way back to the ground they are sio long/been weeding that garden/came in for a break and waiting for the peas to cooks im watching you cause I dont have any family !lol

Really enjoyed listening to you guys all today

After spending the summer with my parents and (then) 16 year old brother, my son came home to enter the second grade. At the first teacher/parent conference, his teacher said, “He is such a good student, always cheerful, helpful to his friends……did you know he has been doing Cheech and Chong routines for Show and Tell?” 😱🤣 I had a long talk with my son and then my brother. We still laugh about it today. Love you all working together and enjoying family time! ❤️🙌🏼

Love seeing you all work together and supporting one another. That is what it is all about..

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.🥰💖🙏
