Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :) - Навчання та стиль

Joe McCall Hahaha True summarization 🤣
That was a really wonderful tour, and i've seen many. Well done and best wishes for your restructuring work. I also have no winter since emigrating from UK.
Right!?
you see he put his bits of his mother in law in the beds
Lol
4:16 “probably pick that up later”
“... no I probably won’t” lmfaoo this man is too real
Read this before it got there. 🤣
Perfect. Classic move
The best sarcasm
I had to laugh. When you gave the temperature range for your Winter I thought that's just the same as our Summers. Yes! I am in the UK 😄

Well. More like our mid to late Spring weather. Typically in the midlands where I live. Summer will be 20s and even get up to high 30s
@@sshep86 Im in Mid Wales and for the last 2 weeks its been 8C every morning! Despite the very hot days.
Susan Hills Yeah. Temps dropped this week. Getting around 10 to 13 highs here in Lincolnshire. But back up to low to mid 20s by end of next week. But like I said, this is spring temps. We should be getting much higher mid Summer.
Can I grow lettuce in 34 temperature?
Wait, I need a video of your seed organizer!! Or more time over it! I love how organized it is even though you only showed 2 seconds of it!
You so cute
Your channel is awesome, without people like you, the world would be a horrible place
The world is a horrible place. Nice garden though.
We are all like that in Queensland 😋

Olá bom dia adoro seus vídeo parabéns bjs
Your channel is always relaxing and informative
I just love your videos. You've inspired me to start a small container garden on our back deck up here in New Hampshire, USA. To keep costs down, using rain gutters to grow leaf lettuce, an assortment of lid missing Tupperware, buckets, and trash cans to grow tomatoes, peppers, bush beans, mini eggplant, potatoes, and french carrots. It's coming along so well that my hubby is talking about getting us a Birdies raised bed for next year! YES!!!
I’m in New Hampshire too! Yay!
Containers are really amazing. My family had low expectations then a few dozen 10oz tomatoes later they're all in
Beautiful! It’s work but I’m on a planting craze in Northern California. 🤷♀️♥️
Ok, he’s got a filing system for his seeds!! I love that. It appeals to my gardening side and my organisation side.
Mate!
The deck looks fantastic!
WellMet I know! I’m jealous.
Yes it does! Very nice. Everything! ♥️
Indeed Mate! 👍🏾
I get so excited when You upload. I like your humor and i like the way you film. Thank You For giving me so many useful tips!
Was about to go to bed, it's 12:41 am here in trinidad... But can't hit the sack without watching a new upload from SSM!
Hello Mark. I live in Michigan and your gardening tips have help me with my garden. I know it’s not the same climate, but most of your tips are the best. You are my main gardening channel. Hope to see lots of garden updates and tips this year. Stay Safe.
Wisconsin here! Mark and SSM is what made me start gardening! This is my first year and so far my garden is absolutely thriving :)
Hey Luke, I live 300km north of Mark, in Queensland Australia.
Used to work with a bloke from Michigan, top bloke. Used to tell me about Michigan, beautiful place, got to go and have a look one day. Peace 👍
Mitchell Schreiter I love all of the first time gardens. Mark inspires me to go big or go home. His info is good, you just have to adapt it to the season. Hot or cold. 🤣
When you figure out a way to grow some extra time, please let me know.
there is one way, you have to quit your job
If you want to grow extra time. I recomend schedules. Time managment on the farm is critical. As a market gardener i schedule things pretty close so i can have time off now and then. Lol
Thyme grows like weeds here
MrBucky338 🤣
MrBucky338 😂🤣😅
Here I sit behind my monitor at midnight with some microwave sausage patties. Watching this guy with all his plants really makes me want to feed myself better.
I am growing some sweet beans and they all started to have blighted leaves like my tomato's. One web commentator said they might be short on Supfur, so I put my Blueberry's elemental Sulfur down and the new growth is all clear of blight. Perhaps hay/mulch gardens can be low on Sulfur. Put some under my potted capsicum and bullocks heart tomato as their leaves were blighting too. And the new leaves there are solid green now too!
And Mark you’re one of my biggest inspirations you encouraged me to start garden and get chickens thanks
Man because of you i was inspired to start growing stuff. I an currently growing a dragonfruit cactus, some herbs, and some bell peppers.
"Unless you give it a go, you just won't know"
Right on Mark, Great video as always!
Hey Mark we live in Florida so we have the same climate , but opposite times of the year we now are getting into summer and this is the first year we are planting a garden thank you for the tips !!!! Karl and Lori B. !!!!
New gardener in central Florida. I'm taking notes on what will grow next season 😊 I'm hopeful for the plants I'm growing currently, started them a few months late. I didn't know, but I do now. I hope your plants do well.
@@cammydunn2675 I'm late too , hope yours does well also !!!
Hi to both of you 👋 I’m in treasure coast myself. make sure to try sweet potatoes, Seminole Pumpkin, Seminole tomatoes and Malabar spinach. Here in Fl, they do great!
Thank for the tips im on the treasure coast as well annd this os my first year. Pretty excited.
G'day ... Here on the other side of the world it's about the same weather right now ... Washington State coast ... Summer might get up to a balmy 80°f ... But not for long ... Save the punky wood to add fill to the new beds ...
All mine are in pots as I don't have a yard ... Just a gravel parking lot ... Onion ... Garlic ... Mushrooms ... Chives ... Mint ... Corn ... Crook neck squash ... Potato ... Tomato ... Sweet peppers ... Strawberry ... Raspberries ...
Turn the parking space into a gAWDen.
you know you need a patch of corn to get proper pollination?
king james488 no you don’t you can pollinate it yourself,
@@kingjames4886 nope ... A trio of 24 inch pots with 5 in each ... Makes for easy hand pollinating ... I hand pollinate tomatoes and squash too ...
@@jameswitte5167 I'm sure there are no bees.
Mark your playlists are making my weed grow faster than rnz radio 😳 ... by the way the backround aussie birds are a gem!
Mark, you definitely inspire me to get out into my garden everyday. I really appreciate your knowledge and tips. Cheers from the USA.
Same here...Cheers from Poland :)
Jarosław Polański nice!
I want to say a big thank you for your videos. I used to garden a lot as a child but somehow forgot along the way of growing up that it was a passion of mine. This pandemic brought me back to the soil, and now caring for my little garden has become the best part of my day. Your videos have been a major help to me in re-training my green thumb, and they've also doubled as a nice distraction when things have gotten too much in the world. Thank you so much! :)
Fantastic Mark!
Also fantastic, person managing Kevin's account 😃
I started my urban vege garden a year ago and learned so much. I am based in South Africa so our seasons coincide. I love your videos. They are not only instructive, but you always make me laugh :)
I love you videos about gardening and your sense of humor in the video
I'm tickled pink to see this upload within 10 minutes !!! Thanks for the great content
Being a local. Love this sort of content.
I’m only five minutes into the video and I’m already impressed by the number of volunteer plants: lettuce, tomatoes, mustard, etc, it’s almost like you don’t need to do any gardening . :)
Oh wow. I'm not too far from yourself ... out in Ipswich but we drop quite a bit here. We'll definitely start getting frosty nights heading into winter and if Stanthorpe have copped a cold day, we feel it here. My poor basil almost had a heart attack a few weeks ago but I got him inside in time. 😁 Other than that, I've got the rest of the herbs ready with framed frost/wind protection setup. 👍🌿
Being an English man I normally happy waking up to a cuppa tea, but today i got a bonus... tea and this! Nice one
8:25 this is a great tip for intermediate gardeners.
I never want to thin or move a guy that's happy growing.
But sometimes you just gotta rip them out to grow more stuff for the proper season
This is especially affordable when you've been collecting seeds for some seasons.
Awesome vids as always mark.
Was overwhelmed with my seeds that i was saving, until I just saw your filing system! Thanks :)
Like the clappers. I haven’t heard that one for years
Ay big fella, what you wanna be doing is getting a barrel cutting some holes in it and making a damn good fire mate, nothing better than a few brews and a nice fire in winter, good time to grab the missus and burn off all the shit. Keep up the good work from you south mates here in Illawarra.
Awesome video Mark from another Mark. That is going to get old I know but so are we hahaha 😂 ok I'll stop now. Man I wish we didn't get some cold in the winter well some times we can. Have a good night from Texas
Keep up the great work, Mark! You inspire all of us back yard gardeners and your presentations are always informative and fun!
When I lived in the Peace River Country of British Columbia Canada your normal winter day was a normal summer day for me...
Amazing variety's mate, the garden is looking amazing! I have to admit you do make us jelous with the crazy stuff you can grow on the other side of the pond! Cheers from a UK gardener! 👍😀
You made me start now I have over 200 plants
Winter, you say? *laughs in Canadian*
Summer weather in Scotland, where I live is your winter temps. It's 8c now ! 😆
Nick MG Wow I hate the cold so I feel for you, how on earth do you live like that? Sorry, I don't mean to be rude but to me that is depressing.
Filling the bottom with wood scraps was a game changer. I have “tons” of forest scraps and I was able to solve two problems at the same time.
I was just about to ask where in QLD you are. I'm in central Gold Coast so it's good to have a channel to watch that is local and not in the US lol
Mark, have you tried to grow okra? It's a subtropical plant, so it's supposed to grow well out there. I was trying to grow it in Victoria, but it definitely needs more sun time and warmth.
There is definitely an okra video on this channel from a few years ago @MrSlavaoat
What a great view at the end of the day from your renovated deck.
I absolutely love your videos , you seem like the type of person every man should be , strong but yet loving , thank you my friend .
You don't live far from me at all so I love the "custom" growing advice! Thanks!
Amazing walk about.
You must have read our minds. My wife and I were just asking exactly that question.
I have a pea recommendation. We grow a few of the traditional peas in our spring and fall but the one that we love to grow in the spring is called "Wando". It is a heat tolerant variety that we are able to grow into a bit of our summer extending our pea harvest for a bit longer. We live in central Georgia in the States and have a wicked long summer season but those Wando will grow for a good 3-6 weeks longer than the traditional peas. Love your videos, wife giggles at me each time she hears your intro. God Bless
my favorite line "Unless you give it a go...You just won't know!"
I appreciate what you’re doing for the earth and for the advice you give in your content have a great day
That's our summer temp here in Canada, Mark 😂 Ow well.. Enjoyed the video. As always, very inspiring and entertaining 👌
Brilliant content loads of useful information and really top bloke 👍
We got a raw deal, I'm only a couple hours from Bris and we frost regularly. Already had 3 :( coldest we've recorded from memory was -8
I live in Toowoomba and since were already getting 3°C mornings, I imagine winter is going to get frost. 🥶
Well we have had a few frosts but Stanthorpe is known for that. Not that far from Brisbane either.
-8!!!! That is too cold for Qld! Ripped off!
Grow apples
The new deck looks great!
Second comment after watching all!! THAT WAS ONE OF YOUR BEST DOWN TO EARTH TO HOW YOUR GARDENING IS JUST LIKE HOW I GARDEN!!! Thank you
I was waiting for a video and finally
You are growing so many great veggies. Stay safe friend 😊
What a lot of work you are doing Mark. It's hard t o believe it will be even better than before. Thank you for all the great advice. I always look forward to your videos.
We have summer now in Finland (at last) for a few months. At the moment about 20 Celsius by day, 10 or less by night 😂
That's not a habitable climate. ;-)
I kinda feel like eating salad now thanks to you.
Egyptian spinach is amazing. I have 3rd generation seed ready to go for late spring
Thank you for the nice video. Reminds me of mid to late spring in Germany.
Ha ! Youre correct about a British Summer ( Im British )
However I'm in the same climate and was feeling at a loss with the cold weather.
Thank you Mark !
Wow, you've been very busy. Thank you for the tour. 💐🌹
Love the recycling of your wood
Hey mark! Just wanted to say thanks heaps mate for all the inspiration over these covid times. Since watching ya videos ive set up a decent vegtable garden for myself and am continulaly working towards my dream of setting up some acarage in cairns in the following year or so. Keep it up, your influence deffinitly inspires some of us younger generation who i feel are losing touch with our roots ( no pun intended )
I'm only up the road from you in mfield. My zuchhs and cucumbers have started to set fruit, mine are in 300mm pots so I'm sure yours will thrive!
Didn't even read the title when I clicked on the notification and I was like "Hey, another building project, nice!" at 3:00 lol.
Just show this channel to my mum she loves it 😋👍👍
Your videos are always really helpful. I cant wait for the next.
Probably similar to a good summer in england! 😂 I was literally just thinking that! At 22 Celsius we're all in shorts and t shirts and sunbathing 😂😂
Hope you all are doing well,we have just come out of a heat wave .it was so hot all my Lettie went to seed.love from England.🌹
Good day! And thank you so much for taking the time and energy to share your valuable information. Please send more information about how to store seeds once you harvest them and how you plant them once they come out of storage. Do you soak them, refridgerate them, etc? THANKS!!!
We are warmer during winter here in the Philippines but our main problem is rain. We have just entered our rainy season and have planted accordingly. But winter, finding crops that don't require much water can be tricky.
You amaze me! I always thought you had to buy seeds (because they grow smaller or don't come up at all) but you get them for FREE! 🤯👏👏❤
Mark, I love your passion and energy! Great video as always. Keep them coming.
I love your videos :) Always watching. love from the Philippines :)
when your winter is getting close to zero Celsius lol instead of -45 here in Quebec Canada :P
I'm not much of a gardener or anything, but my dad showed me your channel and I have to say I love it. It's like watching a video from a friend, you have a wonderful personality! Much love ❤️
Thanks for the tour Mark. Our temperature range at the moment in Darwin is around 19 to 32. Too warm for a lot plants, have given up on normal coriander, but the sawtooth variety is doing ok. Other plants are thriving - sweet potato, rock melon, water melon, zucchini, snake beans... mostly using raised beds because our soil is so poor. Lock down has given me the time to go hard in the garden... enjoying your channel!
Here in America's south-east sounds like we have a similar climate, only difference is you have an Ocean between you and Antarctica which is a weather moderator, while we have a huge Canadian landmass between us and the Arctic which is a big cold collector and produces fast moving cold fronts, which produces hard frost (we call them Alberta Clippers, which also makes us the Tornado Capital of the world in the Summer).
The Midwest and plains are the tornado capitals of america it’s called tornado alley
My kind of humour, I really enjoy your videos. My first time growing veggies this year. I prepared the ground, and just put the seeds in and crossed my fingers. The butternut squash was eaten by god knows what, and I have 6 well established courgette plants. Corn is doing well so far , as are the other plants. Dunno which is what tho. I didn't put labels down coz I like a surprise lol. And now I can't even remember what I planted 😂🌱🌍💚
You inspire seniors to enjoy gardening again
You're growing in a similar climate as mine except I get much more rain and it is 10-15°F cooler. Thank you for the garden update and keep up the great work.
How are you? Watching first view
I'm so jealous of the zone you're growing in!
New deck looks great,mate! I just salvaged some wood from a renovation at work... I've made two raised beds and a ladder for my chicken coop so far! Building is so much fun!
I too started my back yard garden it's starting to feel amazing to grow ur own food
I am glad that I discover your channel , you inspire me to turn my little balcony to vegetable garden, now I am growing tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, fresh onions and enjoy eating them everyday. greetings from istanbul - turkey.
Such a happy good news channel. A great distraction from an otherwise worrying stressful scary planet. Thank you! Could watch for hours.
We are in Florida and it will be "winter" next week.
I'm growing Purple Top Turnips, Red Leaf Mustard, Fl Broad leaf Mustard, Bell peppers, sweet mini peppers, jalapenos, eggplant, and just planted potatoes, cabbage, lettuce and radishes. Love your channel. 🇺🇸🌴🐊
Thanks Mark! this is great! really was a bit lost as to what to plant in subtropical winter here in réunion island. This is really helpful! wishing you a good day!
Hiya Mark , love your channel , I am on the south coast of NSW , my neighbours have been growing and giving me chokos, and as I’m the only one of my family that likes them , several of them had started to shoot ! . I came home from work the other day and my son said that he had planted the triffids! We’ll just have to see how they go , we do get the odd frost here .. never know ! But goodness there’s 4 or 5 plants !!
At winter we cant grow as much as you. Over here in the Netherlands frost hits often and it almost rains the whole season none stop.
I found that strawberries now tend to stay green and grow more leaves (that helps to make more fruit),
I also grow garlic and onions. I am gonna try to grow potatoes too this winter. Since that potato plant of mine is more drought tolerant than all weeds, so maybe it’s also cold tolerant
Thanks Mark, I live just down the road to Toowoomba. Have put in raised beds over the last 6 months and your advice has served us well. Great content. Cheers mate
Watching this in England, it's cold and p*ssing down! Some summer we're in for!
Hello I am a first time planter of vegetables. I enjoy your videos and do try some of your suggestions. Thank you very much. Marcia from the Island of Trinidad and Tobago.
