When I was younger my fingers seemed like they were constantly stained purple from shelling those pink eyed purple hulls. Of course then I groaned and belly ached. Now I feel so much pride and accomplishment when I have purple fingers. ☺️

Watching you harvest brings back so many wonderful memories of country living for me as a child and young adult. I know now how hard it was for my mom and dad to have a couple acres of vegetables. My dad worked 12 hour days as a mechanic and came home to tiller up the soil and plant seeds. My mom had four of us kids and my dad's parents who lived with us to cook and clean for and feed three meals a day. She washed using an old wringer washer and hanged all the clothes on a clothesline. Then had to iron stiff wrinkled blue jeans and shirts for all us. We always had good healthy meals, and at 72 I thank my diet growing up for good health and no prescription meds now.

You are so blessed to have a man who works beside you. You 2 look and sound so cute working ,sitting ,chatting and eating your ice blocks. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿

There's something so fulfilling about picking beans. I haven't done it in years, but I used to love to find those great big green pods. There's nothing more delicious than fresh cooked green beans. Except maybe a fresh sliced tomato or a ripe ear of corn. 😊

I'm almost 60 years old and I wish I could pick some beans with my granny just one more time.

You are fortunate to have Matt help out with the garden! A good man!

I loved my nanny's white butterbeans. She put fatback and hog lard in hers (really healthy!) and a mess of those on her cornbread with lots of the pot likker, and I was beside myself with happiness! RIP Nanny, I miss you. 🥰🥰

There is nothing like fresh garden vegetables. We are enjoying your KZfaq videos. So blessed with seeing you, your family and friends. Brings back such sweet memories of my earlier years. Send our love to all. Just finished watching Cari and Austin (1 year ago) of their new home. God’s richest blessings to you all.🥰🙏🏻

I’ve never had a garden because I live on a hill and have a lot of large rock. My daughter recently purchased her grandparents house and told me I could plant a garden there. I’m so excited.

I remember helping daddy "scrap " the last of the beans and tomatoes in the Fall here in North Mississippi. Those last tomatoes always seemed to be the best. As I'll be 70 years old on September 24th I realize now that those were the best times of my life.

You and Matt do such good work together. The way life should be. The peas look good. Interesting about cooking peas and butter beans being cooked together. I'll remember that. Be safe!

Those peas look like the ones my family has always grown and canned. Dried and tin can peas are not even the same vegetable as fresh peas like those. The taste and texture of fresh cooked peas with salt pork of some kind is unique and I could live on them. Peas, cornbread, side meat and fresh sliced tomato. Add a green onion and even better. The meal fit for a king lol. Enjoy while you can. 😊

Good Lord have mercy. I remember going to my Aunt Billie's house with my mom and her other sisters to can string beans and tomatoes. Us kids would go out to her huge garden and pick string beans. Once we got started a couple of the kids would take the beans, snap off one end and peel the string up out of the seam of the bean and then snap the other end off to finish removing the string. My mom and the sisters would get the vegetables into Mason jars, into the pressure cookers and the older kids would carry them into cellar to store for the winter. My mom and the other sisters took their share and that is what we ate all winter. In December those beans were delicious but by March you got awful tired of them.

I love it that your husband helps you after supper he’s a keeper

Matts dry humor Kills me! 🤣 Your Gardens have produced a good bit so far.🙂

I love you girls and love Matt's sense of humor.

Oh if I were younger and not sick, your inspiration would get me really in the gardening mood. All the things you and Matt do are memory makers for me. Thanks for sharing another great video. Jeri Whittaker 9/4/2022 NEAR ATHENS, GEORGIA

Y'all have the best garden that I've ever seen! I've never heard of rattlesnake beans! They look so healthy like all of your harvest! Thank you for your wonderful channel Tipper! Seat🏔tle kin! God Bless 🙏🏽♥️ P.S. Granny and I just loved beets 🥰

I'm just like Matt! I need to eat or I'm not good for anything. I really enjoy both your vlogs and The Blind Pig and the acorn. My dad's folks were from a little tiny town called Turtle Town, Tennessee. I loved spending summer in the mountains. My parents have both passed now and I am in New York state and retired now. You bring back happy childhood memories.

I love peas with some banana peppers, fresh tomatoes, onions, french fries and cornbread. Great meal!

The rain has moved in to the north Oregon coast. It's in the 60s, bit of a breeze. It's perfect! Perfect day to settle down and watch Tipper in her garden!

Those look like what we call pink eye purple hulls ... Very tasty peas. Me and my wife are in our mid 50's and I bought a small compact tractor with a roto tiller to help my 80 year old in-laws with a little farming they have on their 5 acres close to Seagrove NC They grow corn, tomatoes, Okra, Watermelon , beans , potato's, sugar beet and garlic , enjoy your videos, yall take care

Nothing better than Appalachian Green Beans! Cooked with pork for an hour or so…..fantastic with cornbread, onions, and mashed potatoes! The Instapot is fantastic for cooking them! We only raised Kentucky Wonder pole beans this year and they are good in the instapot with bacon, a little salt, pepper and little butter! Yummy!

I enjoy watching your channel. I wanted to tell you that my Mom's beets wouldn't come up very good either. An old farmer told her that when you are planting beets put your seeds in your row but before you cover them up have a kettle of boiling water. Pour the boiling water over the seeds and quickly cover them over with dirt. The hot water under the dirt makes the seeds germinate. It works. Mom always had good beets after that.

Glad you got the beans and peas picked. And those rattlesnake beans look wonderful. I'm sure granny will be happy to have those beans.

I didn't know there was so many different beans that one thing about y'all ya are always a teaching us and I love when y'all are just sitting and eating y'all fruit popsicles what a treat for good work done ✌️❤️ to y'all

Never thought I would say this but I miss picking beans! Never knew how much I love them till I move to Delaware and can’t find them anymore.

I am new to gardening myself. My grandparents always had two big gardens and my parents grew a few things in their back yard because they lived in the city. I live in a housing community outside of Jacksonville so all I have is my backyard. I used a raised bed and about 7 wicking tubs for my vegetables. I had good success with cucumbers, tomatoes, okra and cow peas. Nothing like what you have harvested, but enough to have messes for our supper and I have canned some peas and pickled cucumbers and okra. My grandparents always grew purple hull peas and crowder peas. I couldn’t find either of those to plant but did plant two containers of cowpeas. When fully ready for harvest the peas are about 1/2 inch long and a pretty yellow color with a black center. They are so good when cooked down with a piece of salt pork and a tsp of sugar added. They are beginning to die back but are also putting on new growth and still blooming! So, I am hoping for a few more messes before the first frost. I enjoy watching your videos because they take me back to my childhood days and also give me good tips on what I can do to make better use of my limited space. It is also nice to see you and Matt working together.

I just got in from picking the last from my 17 greasy beans loaned to me by the finest example of Appalachian womanhood I know. She gave me 21 seeds. 19 came up and moles killed 2. From those 17 beanstalks I have picked at least half a bushel to eat and I am saving a lot for seed. She refused to let me pay even the postage and I didn't protest because I know her goodness will be returned to her many times over if it hasn't already!

I’d love to see the various bean varieties when you shell and cook them Love the gardening and canning videos!

Thank you for another beautiful and pleasant video! I recently moved to Ireland for graduate school (I'm originally from Kentucky), and have turned to your videos daily for a little bit of the comfort of home. I can't wait to share my love for Appalachia and your videos with my friends here in Ireland. Be well 💕

Now, that is a garden!

I love beans and peas of all kinds my sweet great Aunt Josie grew and dried Blackeyed peas and great Uncle Frank raised and smoke his own hogs and man what a feast I can still taste that peas and cornbread she was an amazing cook

Nice time in the garden. You sure got a lot of beans again! Still waiting on the tomatoes. Tell Matt my Dad had 4 daughters. There was a man that knew about imbalances! 😄❤️🇨🇦

You two work so well together. You have made that garden work so well for you all. Do enjoy your videos Tipper. It’s a bright spot in my life. Got a lot going on here. Keep me in prayers please.

Y'all are making me homesick. Nearly every video you put up does.

Sounds like a lovely rainy day for y'all to just relax! Everyone needs to do that sometimes ❤️☺️ Love y'all!

We grow the pink eye purple hull peas in the spring and late summer/early fall here in south Alabama. It's one of the best tasting peas to me, I also like zipper peas and they put on a huge crop.

My family had a saying. If you could still tell it was a pot of green beans they were not done yet! We never had much luck growing beets or carrots. Only once had a fair growth of carrots. I accidentally planted them on the western side of the garage shed..

You're the fastest bean picker I've ran into!! Lol. Love the rattlesnake beans.

I grew up eating those fresh field peas. So delicious.💚 My mom used to freeze a lot of them to eat in the winter. They tasted like summer time.

I am a new subscriber to this channel and to your daughters' channel. I live a a nursing home, so I don't garden, can, or cook. However, I am glad I found you. I am a life-long Arkansan, but my mother's people migrated from Tennessee and my father's from Kentucky. Your lifestyle, foods, and speech are very familiar to me. I could pass one of those word tests you give your girls! I just watched a video you posted back in May where you made a dish you called kilt lettuce. We always called it wilted lettuce and added thinly sliced radishes. So good! Thank you for the work you put into this channel.

"BEANS, BEANS ..GOOD FOR YOUR HEART . THE MORE YOU EAT , THE MORE YOU FART . THE MORE YOU FART , THE BETTER YOU FEEL , SO EAT BEANS AT EVERY MEAL ! " - Mom in the kitchen cooking.. 🤘😌 . those were the days .

Good to see that you got your work done before it started raining hard! I love beans as well and sometimes cook them with new potatoes!

Matt is so stinkin’ funny with his out of balance hormones. He’s definitely outnumbered in his household-all those gals!😂

Matt is hilarious! I get Hangry as well. But the comment about hormones really got me good!! 😂😂😂

I didn't realize just how funny Matt was.

Your garden still looking good. Lol hormones. We love Butterbeans. Thank you for sharing hope you have a great week

I’m from Connecticut so I don’t have a lot of knowledge of how you do things. But when I was a young girl I would go with my grandmother to my great grandfathers house in Kentucky. We’d pick green beans and she’d cook them with a hammock and potatoes for a long time. They were so good. I love your channel. I’m trying to convince my husband that we don’t need grass in our yard.

I can eat butter beans as a meal by themselves. I like to start by searing off some fatback and then letting it cook and render down with the beans. Then a little salt and pepper makes it perfect. For a little extra kick I'll add some of the brine from Trappey's Hot Peppers.

I stopped in the store after church today and watermelons are 7.48!!! I thought last week at 5.78 they were expensive. They stayed thers!! Love your videos. I love beets!! God bless.

When my in laws were alive and we had a large garden. Papa grew 4:5 long rows of butterbeans in may and we got our first mess 4th July week. We ate them fresh tilll end of summer then we started freezing them. Picking 2 wash tubs at the time. We froze everything in quart freezer bags. Granny my sister in law and myself worked together till the beans, peas and corn were froze. I canned green beans. We had peppers cucumber tomatoes and collards in fall. They made collard kraut . I was the only one that didn’t like it. This was in South Carolina and now I am the only member of my or my in-laws family that is living. I had to move to Arizona to live now with my only child. Boy do I miss that life.

Hi Matt and Tipper. You know yours and the girls videos are quite relaxing , but since you two started the popsicle sitting and chatting , to me is just the ultimate in relaxation. I really look forward to those segments. To bad the cooler weather is coming , but I'm like you folks , I enjoy all seasons. Even our cold central Canadian prairie winters. Maybe there'll be enough warmth there for 1 or 2 more popsicle chit , chats. Love it. Take care to all the family.

Wonderful to chat with you in the garden. When you mentioned Granny it brought to mind a question. Did you or Granny remember anything about “Granny Witches”? They were the healers of isolated people with knowledge of plants and such. They birthed babies and treated other health issues.

My family in lower South Carolina near Myrtle beach grow both colored and white butterbeans and usually mixed in with peas. Where I lived 2 hrs away no one ate colored butterbeans. It’s strange how different people are

My grandfather liked Kentucky Wonder string beans.

God bless all here.

I've tried starting beets twice in the past month or so. None have come up yet. My Mississippi pink eyes are making good. Getting a second flush on my bushes. Wish I had more also. They're very good.

We call them butter beans! 🙂 I love them. 🙌🏼 Loved this, thank you Tipper, Matt!

Watching your videos gives me peace, thank you💗

I like your popsickle/chat ritual. It reminds me so much of my growing up vacations in the Catskill mountains.cheers!

Looks like a great day, I enjoy watching your videos

Garden and beans are looking good. Enjoy the tenderloin 👍 Tyall

You have such fine garden. There reminds me of. My dads garden. We grew all kinds of stuff growing beans peas okra. Yellow sweet corn and silver queen. Cucumbers. Carrots. And even cantaloupe sometimes.

Learn so much from your videos ❤

We love the Cherokee trail of tears. Only beans we have grown in last few years. Great to eat fresh. dry or can.

The more I see your garden and property I see how beautiful it is! I really like that area where the steps are too. so lovely. I trust you enjoyed your deer dinner with all the fixin's! Have a great week!

Love the popsicle pow wows.

You make me won't to move to the smoky mountains it seems so peaceful. I live in london . Thank you for your information and your videos

My favorite couple to spend time with. Thanks for sharing. God bless you two.

Love pinkeyes. My family favorite.

You guys are just the best!

Great info….grew up with my granddaddy & daddy…aunts and uncles all having gardens. Fresh is always BEST!

I grow MS Silverskin peas, and they’re more of a vine/climbing type, but mine did weird this year too. Didn’t do anything in the dry and the big heat in late June and July, but since Aug came and the rains started back up, they’ve grown like crazy. Yours may have another spell of producing!

Beautiful garden. Wow! Love this video. Heck, I like 'em all. ⚘

I really enjoy spending time with you guys in your garden. You are such lovely hosts!😊🇨🇦

I love your popsicle breaks.

Poor ole Matt. Ole boy gets worked like a rented mule. Smile Matt, hunting season is almost here! 🤣😂

Purple hull peas are one of my favorites and they grow abundantly in my garden. I really enjoy these popsicle garden chats!

Matt is one cool dude.

It's adorable the way you guys "toast" your Popsicles. Your channel in general has such positive vibes!

The peas that you had that are purple we call them purple hull peas. That is the most poplar pea in NE Texas. I have seen the pink Mississippi pea but never have bought it from our farmers market. The speckled bean we call it butter beans. I have wondered for years why my green beans don’t taste like they did when I was growing up, and have found out why by watching your videos. I don’t cook them as long as you do, but I will next year. I love the garden videos, but we have to buy from farmers market now, and we do have good ones.

I never knew that there were so many varieties of green beans. I grew a container garden two years ago. There wasn't much of a yield on any of my plants, but I learned a lot. I grew gita beans. They were 7 inches long and very thin. They were milder than a typical green bean from frozen in the grocery store. I could eat them raw :) YUM! I'll grow more of that variety when I do have a garden again. Thanks for sharing!.

Thanks for sharing your gardening videos ☺️

Down here in Southeast Texas we have two seasons for tomatoes. Early March harvesting in June/ July. The a second Early August harvesting late October/November. If the hurricanes don't flood them out.

I want popsicle. Great harvest. I love green beans. It's different weather here too usually cold. I am harvesting but I have little container garden. It adds up every day

You guys look so relaxed sitting there eating your ice cream it's very nice but Matt on the other hand it's itching to get on the deer stand you can see that left leg just bouncing:)

A good morning in the garden.

I wish we still had some beans to pick because I just love fresh green beans. I love butter beans, too. You're right, they are "buttery". Y'all seem to be getting a lot of rain too. The weatherman says my neck of the woods in WV will have rain clear up through Thurs. I think I'll mosey to the fridge and get me an Outshine popsicle, y'all are making me "hangry" for one. 🤗

Just hot up from a little nap and oh boy I see my two favorite u tubers are on . The o garden is just about gone hope granny liked her beans yo an Matt picked for her .ot really does me good to see you two out and about doing things thank you Tipper I really enjoyed watching .....

Happy labor day. Really enjoyed listening to the Presley girls complete morning concert while eating breakfast today.

I noticed while y’all were sitting there talking that Matt had jake leg. Lol Have you ever heard that expression? You’re not going to believe this but I fixed a jar of my mom’s canned beans over the weekend and they were so good. I think they were peanut beans. My mom passed away 21 years ago.

Thanks

I wish you both success ! Wow,that’s a lot of vegetables ! Good job well done !❤️🙏🏻

I love fresh green beans with onions bacon and new potatoes

LOVE YALL❤🎉

also this... I'm happy your garden came out good this year... those beans look delicious... take care y'all God bless you.

You guys are so much fun to hang out with. And that's how you make us feel, like we are just friends that dropped by to see what's going on. Thank you for that. The hormone talk was hilarious.

Matt cracked me up with the hormone comment. Just left a gathering for Labor Day and couldn't wait to see if you posted something for me to watch and just chill. You did and thank you for sharing!

Sending y'all love and best wishes for a good holiday tomorrow and good week after! Love from Memphis!
