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 🙂

It might not be a vegetable, but I love to grow sunflowers in the summer. (The seeds make a tasty snack for us and our bunny and ducks.) I also love to grow mini peppers/hot peppers.
Goji berries are easy heat and cold tolerant as well as drought resistant. I have had mine for 3 years now and this will be the 1st big harvest plus it has sent out shoots for new plants.
That is nice I like spinach I am happy to hear the kinds of it , I use to plant one kind of spinach I learn that there are kinds of it
I love the way you rhyme.
I’m so glad I found your channel! Thank you! 👍 🔥
I saw you walk by that red okra 3 times, that plant thrives here in FL. And our climate is.. Tropical to say the least. Btw, any one need some Okra? I have a lot.
Are there any vegetables/fruits I can plant in late August/Sept in Japan? Or is most stuff from spring?
We also eat a lot of Egyptian Spinach in the Northern part of the Philippines. We call it 'Saluyot'.
Thanks!
Another great video! Sorry, I can't find the 'flaming red hot thumbs-up' button, I had to click the regular thumbs-up one. 🙂
Kangkong or water spinach yes can growing in a soil or can also i a water.
To add to the list: Nasturtium! It's kept on growing abundantly through the heat of summer while it was too hot for other salad-like plants. If it needs water, the suddenly droopy leaves will tell you and otherwise – it's super easy to grow and the leaves have a good, reliable taste no matter what the weather throws at it. Last year I didn't even know you could eat the leaves, this year it's become one of my favs! The little green pods that form after flowering are also good to eat thin sliced (very spicy). Plus, pollinators love it, so it's good for all!
Thank you just found your Chanel very helpful and and a few things I wouldn't of thought of thumb's up and bell clicked keep it going
just a note about spinach: It is one of the foods that is highest in oxalic acid. This can lead to health problems in some people with allergies to oxalates. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to rid your body of oxalates, so be careful eating large quantities of spinach.
Your a legend 🎉😊
Eggplant cherry tomatoes hot peppers red green and yellow peppers cucumber okra
Green beans squash lettuce
Thanks! Egyptian Spinach and Kale sounds temping besides Kangkong
Surprised you don’t have a banana tree Mike with all that space
This Year, in Adelaide we nave no Bees after 6 months of stormy and frezzzy winter

Me: Groans (yet chuckles)
Ok all I can say is that your videos are amazing. It is so down to earth….no pun intended heh. But they are simple and normal and you cause your viewers to connect with you. Best gardening videos I have ever seen. Please do not stop
Turnips also grow well in Qld summer. Back in Scotland they were winter crop but surprisingly they seem to do well in steamy hot summers.
I have a 2m x 1m raised bed with 15 turnips which I planted at the end of Sept 22. It's now the end of Oct and the tubers are around 2 inches in diameter.
Thanks heaps for this. Looking to start planting some summer stuff now. Sweet potatoes – they are the plants more likely to survive cyclones too. From a fellow Queenslander.
Thanks for taking the time to educate us.
nice camera zoom work lol
