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 :)

I am a retired fire personnel (fireman to ire marshal) and have been retired since Dec 1996, so now 74. When I retired, got married for the last time, and moved out into the southwest desert of the USA (the Mojave Desert), and to say the least, gardening is a huge challenge here. Wanted to let you know, that we are doing container gardening using many of your thoughts and tips. Really enjoy your channel, and we are in the process of viewing your older videos. I have to have closed captions, and thank you for placing closed caption, on your newer videos (fire service injury only 2 yrs after getting into the service. Saw on one your videos, that you had 22 things one can use for PTSD. Going to watch that one soon (as well as all yours eventually. Thank you for the down to earth informatiion on all aspects that you show. We are now one of the faithful and thank you for your service...and your channel.
Hi Mark
Your videos are entertaining and educational. I also live is south east Queensland so everything you talk about is 100% relative to me.
I’m 70 years old and retired. Recently widowed and living in an inner suburb of Brisbane.
The recent lock down has made me re access my situation. I put in a small raised veggie garden on the front patio of my town house. The veggies went NUTS. In just eight weeks I was overwhelmed with lettuce and bok choy and the tomatoes aren’t far away. I have never had any interest in gardening or growing anything before but now find myself looking at being more self sufficient.
I am fortunate enough to be able to afford and am buying a small farm near Peaks Crossing. It is a blank canvas. I am building a house there. One of my first projects there will be to establish a fenced in veggie garden of about 600m2. My plan is for it to contain a 24m2 shade house, fruit trees and an in ground garden.
The only resources on the block are some firewood and lots of grass which I will mow and use to improve the soil in my garden. I’ll need to bring in cow manure from a local dairy.
Thank you so much for all the knowledge you are sharing. It is making my new dream possible.
I used to have a problem with whiteflies killing my chili plants but found that a couple of cloves of garlic blended with a little water and sprayed on the plants weekly works great. Thanks for your gardening knowledge and passion my friend!
Cheers for this comment. Whiteflies love cannabis plants, which is really the only plant that seems to get them in my garden, and i refuse to use neem oil when its in flower. Will try this method ^_^
The on dislike is self sufficient me's jealous neighbor
@@anorx5848 Ya, I was refusing neem, soap, etc too. Let me know how it works for you.
You can also grow garlic next to your peppers.That also deters bugs
@@anorx5848Grow garlic next year reefer
Growing birdseyes is what got me into gardening as a kid. My parents "boring" stuff as a kid wouldn't do it but the chilli's are so easy and rewarding !
I have some of those growing now. They are about 6 inches and really leafy, I'm hoping to get a good amount of fruit from them.
"You've served me well, and I'll take that. Give me that! It's compost for you." *chucks*
IT WILL LIVE ON THRU THE COMPOST AND NURISH THE NEW LIFE......LOL ASH TO ASH DUST TO DUST....LOL
Give me that😆
Omg… that had me cracking up 😂! No peppers 🌶 goes to waste! 😆
You can tell it is winter in Oz when Mark wears a sweater with his shorts! LOL

This is a great video.
A few years back my mom gave me one of her jalapeno plants for a birthday present. I moved it to a large planter and set it outside... been bringing it in when the weather gets cold (I live in Wisconsin USA -23*c or lower winters) and store it next to my Bearded Dragon's terrarium (UV Lamp) which is also located in our sunroom surrounded by windows on three sides. It has done great and is still kicking to this day. It fruits throughout the winter. I add a small bit of egg shell and orange peel to the planter twice a year or so, and change out most of the potting soil from time to time.
Our growing season is pretty short, but thanks to your videos I've started saving seeds from just about everything, set up some raised garden beds using hügelkultur, and started a number of other projects including canning, and more recently growing some culinary mushrooms. It's a lot of fun and fulfilling work.
Mark, instead of a small table try using a "walker", those rigid upright contraptions elderly folks use to walk around with (holding up traffic for 3 light changes while they cross,....I'm 71 I can poke fun at my own crew!). The lower brace can support a removable plywood shelf and a larger piece can be attached to the handles to make a tabletop. They are stable, lightweight, weather resistant, can straddle rows in the field or help you by a raised bed. Also useful when working on you car engine to keep tools within reach .The folding model works well also. I have 2.
How to grow peppers all year round:

It gets cold and stays cold here. I believe Nebraska is zone 5 but we are zone 3. Winter green houses here need a heat source.
We have cold dark winters with deep winter snow. I wish I could grow anything other than growing impatient during winter 😜😜
I'm in West-central Washington, US; there's definitely stuff we can grow in colder climates, we just have to be a bit more selective.
I cut my chilli plant right back last year for the winter (living in England). This year the fruit yield has more than doubled!
I had the same thing happen with a tomato plant I overwintered. Unfortunately, it's been over 100°F so blossom set is about 50% now but will pick back up in a few months when it's back into the 80s and 90s
Will be trying with mine this year.
I just cut off the dead bits regularly when they appear. My cayenne pepper plants (Northern England) are grown indoors.
I will say though, the ones I grew from the seed I collected are doing WAY better than the one grown from the nursery.
Trying your mini greenhouse milk bottle idea to see how it goes. Your channels are so important right now. I hope everyone is as inspired by your videos as my family has been. All this craziness around us 24/7 and there's still a chill Aussie growing tons of food himself, feeding with his own compost, and making morning glory jokes. For once... someone that's not a downer when they teach. Much Love from TX USA.
PS my two year old loves watching your videos with me. Says "me watch that guy with all the plants and the little axe." (your e.t.).
Tip: I always use strips of cotton T-shirts to tie up my plants. That way they can go straight into the compost bin or straight back into the soil again. And they are cheap and easy to get.
Edit: Has to be 100% cotton!
I'm absolutely gonna try this! I'd been looking for better tie up options for my tomatoes and cukes rather than the plastic ties that break but don't break down, and I'm always looking for more goodies for my compost bin to feed my plants!
uncertainAuthor I’ve been doing it for years. My papaw had been doing it since he returned from WWII and passed the idea onto me.
Good luck!
Nothing less than Egyptian satin for my plants. You peasants can use plain cotton.
Hi from South Africa. I've been growing a few food plants for around a year or two now and my most prolific is one out of three chili plants. It gives me anywhere from three to ten ripe (i.e. red) chilies every day depending on how much sunshine we have daily. Love your videos!
Reading the title, getting all excited, remembering you live in north eastern France, wipe a tear.
🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂😂 ua-cam.com/video/v2Jp9bFFfsg/v-deo.html
I live in Finland and I grow chili peppers all year around but only 3 or 4 months outside because other times it is just too cold to grow anything. :D So indoor gardening and grow lights are the only option. :) People in France have much longer time period for outdoor gardening. :)
Doesn’t he live in Australia? He had a brown snake that went into the chicken coop and their native to there I thought
I live in a cold desert. We are either burning to death or freezing and treading deep snow. I am going to try to trasplant my peppers inside though 😊
@@jamesy00 I think "remembering you live in north eastern France" was addressed at the person writing the comment rather than the person in the video
Here up north, a growlight is even more important than the heatmat.
Growing up dad would take a large hand full of fresh chicken manure and swish it around in a 5-gallon bucket filled with water and then add that to the garden. He also took milk bottles, filled them with water, and left them in the garden, he said that they would keep the plants warmer when the sun went down.
I have gotten chilies to survive and then do well the following year. I live in the UK, just kept them dry over winter in the green house unheated too.
I have a banana pepper plant on it's 3rd year that I grow inside in a pot in winter and out in the garden in summer, so this works just fine with sweet peppers too!
I love that his pepper plants live long enough to become wood stemmed. I started my seedlings indoor back in March, only now am I getting peppers, and end of August they will be gone. 5b life
I'm in the UK. I started my harvest on June and last year it lasted until October. I have more plants now, so we'll see.
Oooo….this Texan would like that recipe at the beginning with pecans and your pico sauce.... looks yummy! We grow most things year round also... our climates are VERY similar, especially along the Gulf Coast. ;-)
I just made a chili powder by dehydrating my chilies the other day.
How did you dehydrate your chilies?
Raff Sanchez I made a video about it, but basically used a dehydrator.
UK. luv the shows, and grow what i can. Enjoy ur cold weather tips, but envious of your sun and heat.
In places where you regularly get cold we overwinter tomatoes and peppers without sun to keep them dormant. No sun and freezing temps to keep them dormant
We bought a chili plant from the nursery in summer and we changed the pot to a bigger one when we got home with normal poting mix. Placed it in the kitchen where it get some sun. It gave us chilis from summer thro fall and some in the winter. We live in Sweden. So its cold here. It worked well. It even became over 1.5 meter in hight with some stakes to lean against.
I once had an Anaheim last 3 or 4 years without us trying! I told my dad and he couldn't believe it. Thanks for the vid!
Cute little yellow-faced whip snake you found
Great content Mark. I overwintered 9 different chili plants for the first time. After watching this episode I feel more confident. It’s spring where I am at and they are looking a little worse for wear at the moment. Thank you always
Did you overwinter them by bringing them indoors or kept them outside?
Just found your channel. How great that it's AUSTRALIAN!!!!!! Mate, something has made my Jalapeno plants go from producing heaps of fruit to stilted, withering, curling, dying leaves. I'm a first time-veggie grower and I have no idea what happened????
Thanks Mark!
I always learn something from you!
You are looking slim these days!!
Thanks !!
Oh how cool. I'm in Michigan and always thought of peppers as a buy them in spring, trash them in winter. I will simply have to try bringing one indoors over winter now. (Cubanelle my fav.)
Thank you Mark, just discovered your video and I love them all. from Namibia
Hi sir.. I am Wancha from Malaysia.. I love to watching all of your videos.. Yes, Malaysia has a hot weather, but sometime not to easy growing chilli especially chilli variety from overseas. . Growing local chilli is most worth it.. But, good job sir for all the information..
Hi Berani and thanks for your support in watching my videos! That's interesting to know about how some varieties of chilli don't grow as good as the adapted varieties 🙂👍
Congrats mate for reaching 1.1million subs. You’re a true inspiration. And love watching your videos, which are packed with info. GOYM
Nice video Mark. I manage to overwinter some of my chillies down here in Melbourne with mulching and wind protection.
I've never let them go beyond the second year as their production is lower than year one.
Sadly this year we had a frost before I'd protected them, so no fresh winter chillies for me.
Cheers!
Your winter looks warmer than my summer at the moment. The days we had down to 5 degrees Celsius in the night and about 12 in the daytime, but other up to 30 degrees! Still growing radishes, sallad, potatoes and more. At least we have sun for about 20 hours a day as best, lots of time to grow. We had snow in May so we need to use the few months we have well. - in the middle of Sweden.
I’m in Adelaide and had a chilli plant for over 3 yrs. pretty much lived on neglect but I had buckets of chillies off it.
Wow your shot of that worm was amazing
What a hot topic for a chilli winter...
I am from South Africa (so also pretty warm winters as winters go) I have found a liking in the California Wonder pepper- it's a sweet pepper but its been knocking out peppers all winter. I moved it and my chillies into a sunny window inside the house but the cold fronts we've had stunted my chillies into a 'hibernation'. I will give pruning a go in the morning. Tx for the advice!
G’day Mark & Co ;-) Thanks so much for great content, good information and garden sense!
My tip/ life hack for all who love the chilli flavour without the painful afterburn.
I slice and dice them seeds as well, pickle them in apple cider vinegar and olive oil. No cooking!
ACV after a month neutralises the harsh burn, flavour is fantastic too.
They keep really well in the pantry for a year or more. Enjoy!
With many source blessings with truth love light laughter joy fun play happiness creativity adventures and may peace be with you all!

Hey Mark!!! My entire family enjoys all your content..... keep up the good work
Nice shorts mate! Thanks for tips
I used to have a super massive bird pepper in Jamaica
My favourite pepper is cayenne, such nice flavour and loads of benefits
Mark is looking trim and fit! All those homegrown veggies
You are an Australian Treasure mate! Keep up the good work!
I have some little capsicum seedlings in at the moment in Toowoomba, they're doing quite well despite the freezing weather yeaterday
I'm also in Toowoomba and my habanero in a raised garden bed is still producing fruit despite absolutely no love from me since the weather got cold. I might give it a prune and a water tomorrow after watching this though
@@taviag4302 cool, i haven't planted my habenero seeds yet, just started the garden a few months ago so waiting for it to warm up a bit. that's very good to know they can survive the winters here, thanks
RIP pepper tree, you have served your purpose
Our chilies were drying so I planted them below our lemon tree and now they’re 100x better, they even yielded red chilies!
ur the best sir love from Namibia😙
i have had my rococo surviving 4/5 frosts and holding fruit all through winter so is the easiest to grow if you get frosts as I understand it comes from cold areas of south america I think its slightly furry leaf protects it from freezing
This is gold mark 👍 I'm south of you, and as a beginner gardner follow your advice on what will do well in our weather.
Thanks from Brazil !
Here in Poland we have very little sun hours during winter, i tryed keeping them at home, peppers lived but very poorly
Did they survive the winter though?
Around here, it is very difficult if not impossible to get soil, mulch and compost in winter. They think "no one gardens in winter".... ! Not true, I work outdoors year round, and have been playing catch up this year. We lost a dozen or so trees the last few years, and friends helped cut those up, but I had so much work cleaning up that I got behind. I am trying to get my veggie garden and flower beds all cleaned up, and ready to plant come spring. I am planting some things like garlic and maybe some other stuff currently.
My Cayenne peppers are growing so big and fast that they look like small trees. I only planted 2 of them but I am getting hundreds of peppers and they just keep making more.
Did you grow them from seed this year? How old are they?thats amazing! 😊
Hallo from TX, love your video..im starting lil garden in pots and containers..learn lots from you..Thanks so much..Bless you and be safe..
I am in India I grow lots of organic food.also I am 13. Trying to grow strawberries 😌😌
Hello Anas and good on you for growing your own food! All the best :)
Thank,same to u
Stawberries might need the coldest place for the fruit to get the perfect taste -warm strawberries might not taste so much after a hot day .Pretty much the same for apples -the fruit need cold to get the acid and consitence taste good ( im from sweden so the season is over in late august )
Hello from the piedmont region of North Carolina Mark, Love your channel so much. Your self-deprecating and zany sense of humor has me laughing so many times . Thanks so much for the great gardening education and entertainment! Others here have compared your appearance to Russel Crowe, but let me say who I think you resemble. I hope you see this as a sincere complement ,but you and others may remember the late zany American comedian Jonathan Winters. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Winters
Not your accent of course,(which is also wonderful!) but your exaggerated facial expressions and body movements remind me of his hilarious antics. Best to you, your family. and your homestead.
That's a good show for your capsicums. I've been struggling to grow some Carolina Reapers and ghost chilis, all indoor an would recommend some heat pads as well.
I find watering in some epson salts in the dirt gives them a boost and promotes fruiting in winter! I still getting indian hot chilli's, scorpions and the odd habanero... :)
The Australian winter in some states, is like the English and Canadian summers...
I finally got the seeds for my Red Rocoto and will grow them indoor in large 15-20L pots in coco substrate, feeding them hydroponics nutrients. It's kind of late to grow them in open ground now - they will never start producing before first frosts due to longer vegetation period (usually it's even recommended to start Rocoto germination in December to get produce in my climate zone during next autumn). But I had to start them now because I never tasted Rocoto and can't wait till next year :D
I've been given a Egyptian Chilli plant, summer has pissed off for the last week in Scotland, nothing unusual. Hopefully it'll be alright, it's on me windowsill so I'm sure it'll be okay.
Maybe you can give it some supplemental light to keep it strong and vigorous!
Man, I wanted to send you some chili seed (Hatch grown Sandia green and some chimayo) so I could see how they grow in the "sub-tropics" - but you already had a ton of chili growing!
I can grow bellpeppers in the winter. I have have a few that are 3 years old I live in Louisiana Louisiana USA
Perfect !....I really needed this episode. Answered all my questions. Cheers 🍻
Not chilli related but wanted to say again this year planted gone off potatoes after watching your video last year. They been planted a few months now and noticed that there are small green balls (potato seed balls from my understanding from google).
Love your work. Hello from Boston, MA. The other side of the world. Trying to grow heirloom tomatoes this year.
Incredibly informative, well explained and interesting. Really good video and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I'm at 38d North in California's Central Valley and have a Tabasco/Thai hybrid that is now 3 years old. All I do is cut it back in the late fall and she comes back. Grown from seed off a Thai plant that was intermixed Tabasco. Four others from that collection failed to survive the first winter.
earth, people, everything is great
Very informative and always entertaining. "This habenero has had babies!!" 😂
Mark have you thought about making new end posts for the long bed with the failed plastic ends?
Maybe take a 6x6 treated pose and score a trench the length of it and using a wood chisel and mallet/hammer you could knock a slot out the length of the post so that the galvanized metal could still slot into the end posts.
Just a thought. And thanks for the chili info.
Have a look at his recent videos, he discussed his plans for those beds a few weeks back. (Could've been on his other channel though, afraid I can't remember now!)
Berkeloid I think I remember the video but cannot remember what he said he was gonna do...
Mind is the first thing to go they say....lol
Try using alfa pellets from pet and farm animals food 50 LB bag cheap . They break down quickly when wet and don't burn plants like fertilizer but give great boost to nitrogen levels.
Hey Mark, I have HUNDREDS of green capsicum seeds that have been growing in a seedling tray with lid. I thought they wouldn't grow (so wrong) and they're very bunched together in the little slots. I'm in Perth winter time. They've been growing like crazy in my back bar area inside. No heating out there, but not freezing compared to outside either. When I took the lid off for 2 hours they all curled up like they were dehydrated (soil was still wet). They're over crowded but act like they're in shock when I try to transition them to normal temp. To re-pot (re-pot, just move them minimum of 5cm from each other as they're growing ontop of each other right now) in a long rectangular pot, leave some in the seed tray and move some outside to my garden bed (I want to see where is the most successful in winter). I have mango trees that drop leaves like crazy, so I can break those leaves up to use as mulch. But how else can I ensure I don't lose anymore capsicums?
- they're from one capsicum that I used to make a salad with and decided to grow the seeds.
Bro... been hitting the gym?.. looking good mate!!
I came to check out tips on how to start a raised bed, and now I’m binge watching your videos 🤦🏽♂️🤣. I saw some ginger. Did you grow that, and if so, do you have a video on that please
He has a ginger video. It’s one of his most popular videos
Hey Mark! thanks for the video it is very inspiring. and its good to know i can keep my chilli plants until next year. i sowed some different chili peppers but they are still small so i made sure they can survive the winter here in belgium ( wich can get very cold) and i hope to plant them out next year.
I love 🔥 Chiles all I grow. I have Cayan, Habanero, Blue Cobra(super hot) and Carolina peppers yes I have them all year round! Am still collect more varties
I like your videos. Help me to understand about gardening, thank you for sharing.
My boss planted his peppers (or chillies) on the side of his house that gets not a lot of sun and they grew for over a year.
I love growing many different variants of chilli peppers. What are your favourite types to grow? Anyway great video mate!
When I have too many peppers I like to dry them and use the coffee grinder to make Chilli Powder.
When I have too many I give half to a relative who loves to cook :)
You can also freeze them, and use a clean pair of scissors to cut them up frozen, so you don't need to defrost them.
Good vid Mark 👍
I found Epson Salts, pruning and Seasol, and my Habaneros and Scorpions give all year round.
Pepper plants? Pepper trees, I'd say. Excellent content thank you.
Here in Cairns they just grow forever.
I’ve got 2 different kinds of rocoto growing at mo, I just got them for the purple flowers and black seeds. Going to be growing them on windowsills this year tho as took me a while to get them to germinate here in Northern England.
Years ago I picked up and potted my pepper plant and placed it into my enclosed glass walled porch. It never froze. I got a longer season, and replanted it back in the soil the next season. The second season the peppers were hotter than their first season, almost double hot/spicy. Any idea why?
Less watering...?
If a pepper plant is stressed during fruiting for any reason, it will be hotter than otherwise.
One by red hot thumbs up your way from WA
Your video is very helpful. Thank you so much. I Am S lover of chilli.
Thanks for this video mark, I really enjoyed it much like your other videos.
Nice Mark 👍 My favorite chili in the world is the "Thai chili". I'm not sure which one it is, but it's rather slim, red and under medium size 😋 Always grow the chilis you love!
Is it a birds eye chilli?
Love the tips! I need to do this to my peppers 😊
Possum ate my capsicum seeding. He found the leaves irresistible.
