Katie brings the magic. Her plantings will just mysteriously pop up all over the place.

I absolutely adore your family! Y’all are so pure and wholesome. We need more of this in today’s craziness. God bless your family.

"Hold me fast ,let me stand in the hollow of Your hand . Keep me safe till the storm passes by!"

You ladies are so blessed! Some mothers and daughters don’t have the special relationship that you have. God bless our Mothers!❤

I was so excited , like I was planting the seeds in the earth and asking God to please help them grow. What a beautiful day shared with family and being outside together. All My Love,

I find myself talking to you all when I watch you. I get excited right along with you. My boys say, "mom is talking to her laptop again, she must be watching Tipper and her family". Haha, they are fun to hang out with, even if it is long distance. God bless you all. I'm praying for ms Cindy. Pat Olive for me, and hold her tight through the storms.

Enriching your daughters is the best thing that you can do because this is their time. You are an amazing mother ❤

I loved the end of the video where you loved in Katie! I used to sit with my mom as the storms rolled in out on the deck. I was 50 years old and still went to my mom for hugs and stuff or if I had a cold or a bad day or anything! Katie…I know you know it, but you appreciate every moment with your mama …..even when she gets on your nerves, cuz you never know how long or how much time you have together and the Lord never gives us enough time with our moms!!!

Austin is a great guy.

You both are so very precious. I so miss my mama. I'm 67, and still miss her. Sending hugs and love.

I visited my 97 year old mother today. She couldn’t hear anything at all today so I used notes on my phone to talk to her. We sat on the swing on her porch and watched the sky and trees, admired flowers and watched hummingbirds. We talked about the times my late father napped on the large glider on the porch after tending their huge gardens. I commented on all the work involved. She said it wasn’t work. She commented on how she used to pick a bushel of green beans, can them and them go out to gather more. Seeing the two of you sharing your conversation was so sweet. I also am subscribed to the Presley Girls, it’s always like visiting family when I watch your channels. Now I’m going to have to find some spot around here for some green onions and dill!

“We’re either composting or planting onions.”’ So cute. Love it.😂💗🪴

You mentioning thinking about where the wind comes from made me think how I marvel that we get dust from the Sahara desert in Africa that affects our weather and makes for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. It’s just amazing to me it comes all that way. Nature is amazing.

Oh my.... I love it! I gave my granddaughter old packets of seeds while I was planting. She was doing the same... dumping seeds in holes everwhere. Then a month or so later I noticed these blooms under some of my plants... they were moss rose!! I had never had any luck growing them and she did with 10 plus year old seeds! Blessings!!

I love that Katie has her own plastic seed file.

I love your Herb garden. I cant wait to see all your gardens this summer.

Hard work in the graden with a sweet mother-daughter ending. Can't beat that! God bless!

Hyssop is good for digestive problems problems of the airways and more. So nice to see the family help each other, as you always do.

One comment about your rosemary planting: Rosemary is an evergreen plant. I planted one among the inedible evergreens in front of the house. We fed, watered and trimmed it into a Christmas tree shape. Except for periodic trimmings, we cut nothing off that plant for at least two years. Over time, it grew into a large plant with woody branches that provided me and several others with all the rosemary we could use. I gave it to a friend when we re-landscaped the house. It was probably 10-12 years old then. Katie's antics are infectious. I really enjoy her. Bless you all.

Matt saying you only have one pair of blue jeans reminded me of my Dad. He had never worn jeans in my lifetime. He only wore kakai or brown pants and shorts. He also mainly wore double pocket shirts. I'm so glad you finally got your herb garden planted it looks really nice and well thought out in the arrangement of them as well. Continued Prayers for Miss Cindy and Y'all.😊🙏🏻❤

That mother/daughter talk at the end was PRECIOUS.

Katie is just the sweetest daughter. She always makes me laugh. Happy belated Mother’s Day, Tipper. Loved watching you plant and can’t wait to see if the wildflowers bloom.

Aww, y'all always melt my heart. I love the herb garden and can't wait to see Katie's flowers bloom.

So so happy for your herb bed and flower seeds to be planted 🌱🪴👏🏼👏🏼

Happy Mother’s Day Tipper, glad everyone and the Katie and Corie made sure you got you a herb bed, what a wonderful Mother’s Day Gift! We have had lots of rain and storms here to in Indiana, it’s like every other day we get a bout of rain. Great news, I just finished my chemo yesterday! Praying for a miracle for Ms.Cindy! Thanks, for sharing a part of your Mother’s Day with us and, God Bless you all! PS. Love the wonderful fragment smell of fresh dill.

Everything is looking good! Thank you all for keeping it real and grounded in what's important 🤗❤️

Enjoyed watching Katie helping you plant, she did a great job!! Love watching your family working and talking together!!

This was such a sweet video. The girls have such tender hearts. I love that.❤

Y’all just make me smile and go back in my mind to my childhood. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life❤

you and your daughter are blessed to have each other. Just like me and my daughter. Familybis precious. kate is precious💜

Ooo, hyssop, like in the Bible. The herb garden is looking good. Katie is so entertaining!😁 Hope the storm wasn't very bad. 🌻🙏💖

Yay!!! Katie has got the growing bug. You are a good mom, Tipper. Teaching these girls all about the plants and what fun it is to watch them grow. Blessings and peace to your family during this difficult time.

Enjoyed Katie today…her and Corey are so beautiful and loving…

That girl is so precious!! "I just want to be standing up there and..." She almost had me in tears. I miss my mom so much. Everything I am is because of her. Watching the weather come in is so cool. Such simple things as rain is such a blessing. My thoughts and prayers today are on Miss Cindy. My heart breaks for yall having to go thru this. Please pray for my neighbor as she is going thru the same thing and watching her husband being her caregiver is breaking my heart. Lessons being taught and lessons being learned is the circle of life. Hugs my friends!

Really enjoyed you all growing your herbs.

So fun to hear you talk of poppies. I was taught as a little girl with my daddy in the garden to study the leaves shape on a tiny plant. Dad asked me if this is a weed or a flower? So I had to check it every day to see . From that lesson, I am 78 now and I go by the same rule when I see something new starting to grow. One day I saw a new 2 inch plant, so I studied the leaf and I said You look like a poppy leaf. I watched it grow into the most beautiful bug poppy. It was called Black Swam with its feathery leaves and deep magenta center. Something I learned was that the poppy seeds are like pepper fine seeds. You should barely plant them in the soil. They r hard to germinate because people water them too hard and they are constantly being moved when watered so most don't germinate. Good luck. Gardening is wonderful for one's soul. Whenever I'm down I go pick me 37:39 a bouquet. Katty, hope you have success with your poppy seeds. ❤ Francie by Disneyland!

Happy to see the herb bed planted & ready for the summer grow time. Katie, I think you are the plant queen! I really like how all of you are planting lots of flowers this year. Your gardens will be so pretty when they fill out in a couple of months. Miss Cindy is in my thoughts & prayers each day. I'm glad she was able to spend a little time with you today. Hugs!

The thumbnail picture for this video is such a sweet picture of you two! Thank you for sharing how you put your garden together.

I learn so much about gardening from you. Thank you!

I really enjoy seeing your family. Y’all seem so close and it is the way families should be. God Bless you folk!

Got done just in time for God to water, what a blessing ❤️🙏🏻😇❤️

I'm impressed with Katie's skill with the pitchfork. She was getting the equivalent of a full shovel!

Love your family and videos. Katie you are a hoot! Get a kick out of you and Corey. You respect your parents soo much and you have so much fun together.

It's so great to see ! The whole family working together. The gardens are so pretty. May God ! Bless everyone.

Love seed sewing. My father loved to put holly hocks, sun flour, and,all real tall growing flowers on the ends of the garden and low growing seeds along the front side of the garden…he always said he could step over the low groaning flowers to hoe the garden…he always had a beautiful garden.

Beautiful daughters and family. The richest treasure on earth

Nice to watch good family in action. These vids are a stress reliever, those soul searching moments toward the end. Tipper, you and Matt are blessed. Our God's blessings and prayers for all Family.

I love the minutes before the storm; just turns up all instincts. Beautiful work today everyone! Love and blessings to Miss Cindy and all of you.

Enjoyed this video! Ya'll are so sweet to one another, I love it! I love the thumbnail, too!! Continuing to Pray for Ms Cindy & all of your Family!! I love the Cookbook!! Thank you!! So glad I got one. God bless you all and God keep you all! God's Speed Only!

Super sweet from building a herb bed to sharing the moments of all the moms receiving their respect. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bless y'all heart , Y'all bring joy to my heart and i'm sure each and everyone that watches y'all videos

Morning glorys smothers the rest of your flowers out.

Can I adopt you all as my family lol.Neither my husband's or mine are very close to say the least. Watching your videos and seeing how much you all love each other makes my heart melt and smile.Thank you.God bless and hugs to everyone of you.

Oh y’all just bless my heart every time! I know those flowers will be beautiful. God bless your precious family. 😀❤️

Nice big plants.🥰.I would have me a bucket to sit on. Just watching makes my legs hurt. I zig zag my onions.

I so enjoy watching y'all in the garden or doing anything, really. It calms me & makes my heart feel good. I commented on the girls' channel that I wish I could come to the Roanoke, VA book signing! Its about an hour from where we live. I was just discharged from Roanoke Memorial Hospital this past Saturday. Our son had to take me to the ER at our local hospital on the 2nd. because I was in unbearable pain. After an MRI was done it showed I have 2 fractures in my spine. One was found earlier & I was put in a brace. Then when trying to care for my hubby again, the 2nd fracture happened. I was transferred to Roanoke cause they have neurosurgeons & are able to treat trauma patients better. Thankfully, I didn't have to undergo surgery but was treated very well for my pain & had therapy to help me learn to move without causing more harm to my back. I had to be fitted with a different brace & have to be very careful how I move. No more caring for my hubby, no bending, lifting, twisting or turning; so basically nothing. I stay in horrible pain & have to take strong pain meds. So now hubby & I both need help. Our son has been doing all he can to help. He even took off a week & couple of days from work to be with his dad while I was in the hospital & that's hurt him financially. I feel like I messed up all our lives. This couldn't have happened at a worse time. I was told my bones are very brittle & weak, so doubtful I could withstand any type of procedure. My spine dr is trying to help me feel positive by telling me its possible the fractures will heal. He said not in days or weeks, but months. So I keep asking God for strength & thanking Him each day for just being able to get up & move a little bit. I'll be having PT along with hubby now, but PT will have to just be very cautious about what I do. I'll be having another session of spine injections real soon & I hope that will help my pain some. This has been very hard on me emotionally and physically. But it was nice to have y'all to watch while I was in the hospital. Y'all were about the only ones I wanted to watch during that time. It's like being with family when I watch y'all & since no one could really visit, except my sister came twice, it was so good to have y'all to keep me company! Those onions in your herb bed were amazing looking. I've never heard of those! Glad your herb bed got completed before the storm! We've had lots of rain & storms here too. We had a small tornado go thru the further southeast counties of VA. We actually had one touch down fairly close to where we live a couple years ago! Happy late Mother's day, Tipper, Granny and Ms Cindy. Praying God wraps His loving arms around her & y'all as y'all go thru this journey with her. At the end, you & Katie chatting reminded me of how me & momma used to talk. I miss her so much. I can't believe I'll be 65 this year & my 18 yr old grandson is graduating high school. Just so sad neither his pawpaw nor I will get to see him get his diploma. Just doesn't seem fair. But God has it all under control. We just have to trust & believe in Him. God bless you, Tipper! So glad your cookbook has been so great & your hard work paid off! Praying God blesses you more each day! Hugs & blessings from VA! 💗🙏✝️🌺

Years ago, I bought a new house and worked hard to get the new lawn established. There was a berm that levelled off on the far edge of the back yard and I decided to make it into the wildflower garden I'd always wanted. I did my research and carefully selected and purchased the flower seeds, got the area planted and was diligent about keeping it watered. I watched excitedly as little plants started pushing up. One day I came home from work and as I drove up to turn into my driveway, I was shocked and devastated to see that all my plants were GONE! My nextdoor neighbor had taken it upon himself to "help me out" by mowing "all those weeds" down for me with his mighty riding mower. When he told me, he reminded me that he & his wife had been living beside that empty lot for a couple of years and had kept it mowed and "looking nice." None of the wildlowers survived the scalping. 😢

Your Katie is a wildflower 🙂! I love morning glories, they climb so plant them next to a fence or something they can climb and take over.

Y’all make me cry happy tears mama/daughter time💖🥰💕

Can't wait to see how pretty the herb bed will be. Maybe Katie will be able to give an update video on the flower seeds she planted. I hope they all do good.🙂

Happy y’all got the herbs planted! Now we wait to see how they produce! Love it! Y’all enjoy your steaks after all that work!! God bless and love to all!! 💕🤗🙏🏻

I love you two sitting out by ya'lls selves just talking and talking about flowers. 💐❤️💐 Continued healing thoughts and prayers for Ms. Cindy and the family. ❤️🙏❤️ God bless 🙌

The herb garden is going to be AWESOME!!! Love the love you're sharing with you sweet, precious, girl. Katie - it's gonna be ok. Love you each.

I loved this Especially Ladies & The Men too!!! I Loved watching You Plant TIPPER & Katie!! But having You Both Share at the End waiting for the Rain & talking flowers I felt like I was with You All..OH Matt Austin & Corie!! I BET YOUR MEAL WAS AWESOME!! Still 🙏 Praying for Miss Cindy & EVERYONE....& Granny... CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 Tipper on Your Cookbook Sales!! Still Hoping I can get one but My health is Not good and I can't even catch up on videos GOD BLESS & PRAY YOU ARE BLESSED WITH ABUNDANCE...

I love Katie's keen eye in the garden! She is fierce and i just know her seed placement choices will make you so happy when they come up Tipper! ❤️ Katie you are special and i love watching your guest appearances! ✨⭐🌻

Katie you're so sweet, you'll be a wonderful Mom someday!♥

Great job y’all. Glad y’all got the herb garden done & all your plantin finished ahead of the storm & rain. Nothing makes the garden & flowers grow like the rain. God bless y’all. 🙏🏻😇👍🏻

I bought lemongrass without knowing how I would use it -grows like a weed and it's tasty in teas and all types of recipes for a bright citrusy flavor. I finely chop it to use in marinades too! So good to see everyone work together and enjoy each other.

I love how hard y’all all work together. Lots of prayers coming y’all’s way!

It's so relaxing to watch y'all plant your sweet and beautiful gardens

Katie is her Mother's daughter ❤ Gardening is a metaphor for life: you get out of it what you put into it. Thank you for your gardening videos, Tipper; I always learn something new from you 💐

Everybody helping. Katie excited about the seeds. (I prayed for them to grow 😃) Tipper so encouraging and loving. God bless the Appalachian way of life. 💕

That really looks great!!!!!! I love Ivy of course we all know ya gotta watch it so it don’t get out of control. Ya know I love a good thunder and lightning storm as long as there no damage. I just love ya all much ❤️

I pray you will be a Mommy someday, and your children will be blessed to have you ❤️

You’re so lucky you can grow cilantro. Here on the west coast of Canada I’ve never been successful growing it. It’s nice to see your family working together to make the herb garden. ❤️💋

I am so pleased you kept the last few minutes in this video! My heart is full.

It's so beautiful to see you & your daughter planting together! I live in west GA and this year we decided to plant a garden and I've been blessed to have my college age son helping me and we have had such fun conversations. I have felt really behind in planting, but I think it has just been so fun to sort of plant along with you guys and I have been learning so much from you all. I feel blessed to have come across your channel & look forward to seeing your harvest!

I used to love finding passion flowers. It was always like finding treasure. And I was always reminded of the Lords crown of thorns and His death!

I loved the mother daughter time at the end, so precious. 💞 Katie, I hope all the flowers bloom in abundance for you! 🌼🌸🌻🪻🪷

Love Rosemary And Sage ❤❤

So nice to see Katie getting some time with y’all out in the garden. She is so funny! Corie will pick out 1 tiny seed at a time and Katie just shakes seeds out of the pack not knowing how many came out. They are both so much alike at times and then at other times they are definitely very different. But, that’s a good thing! I know one thing for sure, they sure showed you love on Mother’s Day and when Katie talked about one day being one of the mamas getting flowers at church, you see that soft heart of hers come out. They are both so precious. God really blessed you and Matt when he gave you both of the girls. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida😎🦩🌞🦩😎

I'm as excited about y'all's and Corrie's garden as I am my own!

You and your family are such and inspiration! I have a concrete yard as i live in the middle of the city in an apartment building but ive gotten buckets and recycled pots and started a tiny container garden! And using an icing bucket with holes drilled in it for compost.. Thank you and i look forward to new videos!

When y'all hit your shovel together,that means y'all will work together next year!

I can't wait to see all the plants in a few weeks! Somehow, your videos got turned off on notifications, and I hadn't even seen yall in my feed since early May, so I'm looking forward to catching up for the summer. Oh, how I wish I were digging in the good Appalachian soil with yall. It's ok, I will be watching and living vicariously through you, Tipper and Katie. 😊

Im excited about the wildflowers too. My Daddy had a wired up compost bed covered over with Morning Glories. So sweet!. I spent hours in there!!

RUNNNNNN! I see the storm a coming. Flowers are beautiful

thank you for another great visit! God Bless. Jean ❣

Love your family. Brings tears to my eyes. I never knew my relatives as my Dad’s job moved us to another state. We would go back once a year and visit for three days but that wasn’t enough time to make memories.

Tipper the lemon grass is great in teas for me and in the winter time in those grow bags put some soil in those with Herbs for you in the winter months in the sunlight it is what I have done in the house !!! Also grown strawberries in the house also !!! All the time had cherry tomatoes and herbs strawberries for the winter time !!!

Katie you will be a great mother!

This is so fun! My girls and i just got ours planted a few days ago. Its to cold this morning so i get to watch your video. Making due with the yard we have. God bless y’all.

We've got lemon thyme, lemon mint ( both great on chicken and fish ), common thyme, spear mint, pepper mint, sage, origano, basal and rosemary as hedges ( rosemary gets really big, so I would plant it separately as hedges ). I really love the herb garden. Enjoy the best part of gardening. 🌱

Happy Mother’s Day Tipper! Thanks so much! I’ve been jonesing for a garden! I planted the Hapanada seeds in a pot. Thanks I never heard of them until you told me! They have come up. I did another 3 nasturtium seeds. I guess the leaves make an antibiotic tincture! These are all my favorites! ❤🖖👍🎉🌹
