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 🙂
Hi Mark,
How did you go growing the Rocoto chilli?
I am gobsmacked at ours here on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, as they are prolific all year round. Even through winter when the temperature drops to 2degrees Celsius.
They are a spreading plant and we hope to espalier ours when we move to the Westernport-Bass region soon
"winter"
I’ve got garlic and onion growing. I followed the instructions from your pot ash video and all of my bbq ash feeds the garlic and onions. They love it! Every time I add a batch, a few days later I can see a difference!
Nice
Hi mark do you have a list of what grows easily in winter?
Thanks again…
If anyone wants a bulletproof bean to grow, try ‘Vitalis’ type. You wont regret planting them. They are stringless and high yields per plant.
I’ve sowed Radishes in the summer. I dont think they would make it. I dont know why but, my zucchinis/ summer squash arent producing any big fruits. I dont know why they wont do it. My Marigolds are doing good. My cucumbers arent producing fruits too. I dont know why that also happens with the cucumber.
Mark, your garden is amazing. Thank you for the good advice and the cheery videos. Top bloke 👍🇦🇺🇬🇧
In the hotter days o grow outside it containers so when it hits winter I put my plants in my grow tent they slow down when you go from sun light to leds but it still produces fruits
Mate do you sell your tshirts?
I really am envious of all the tropical trees you can grow right in your backyard
I am now learning the differences between cool weather crops and warm weather crops. I SO appreciate your videos! Your information is still very helpful here in sub-tropical east Texas, USA. In addition, your personality is very pleasant to listen to (and not bad to look at either!) Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for your videos! You make it seem so doable to be self-sufficient in something and I’m really excited to get more self-sufficient!
This is exactly what I need. We’re in Los Angeles and none of the usual directions apply to us. I’m hoping this will help. Will tomatoes grow in the winter? Yea-my tomatoes often burn to a crisp in the summer. We have only frosted once in 20 years.
*starts garlic in the fridge*
*plants them in the spring*
Since i grow plants indoors,
My season is neverending.
It os rewarding having a watermelon plant during winter
Where in Australia are you located?
Have you considered growing Galapagos wild tomatoes in summer? Supposedly they’re much more heat-tolerant than domestic tomatoes. They’re about cherry tomato sized.
Hey Mark thank you for that tip to save growing tomatoes to Winter. I’m struggling here in Sydney trying to grow tomatoes during summer.
I’m making grow bags from my sewing scrap cloth and putting tomatoes and peppers in them. I can’t wait until spring!
Luved the walk a round, thank you
Wow!! That’s a lot of tomatos!!
Oh yeah, i’ve got your variety of radishes.
Will you ever be growing wheat? For bread making
You ain’t lying I get too attached to my plants especially the Roma Tomato 🍅 it’s so bad I want to move to a warmer climate now
Are you South East Queensland Mark or a little further North?
Hey Mark where in Australia do you leave? I’m from Port Macquarie NSW, just wanted to check to see about the weather difference.
Love this video, watched it several times and shared it with plenty , thank you !!!!
I made Jerusalem artichokes into brined pickles this winter. They are really nice. Thanks. It also gets rid of the wind they cause when cooked.
Are gourds edible? Or is there another name for them?
So interesting. You have fruits & veggies I’ve never seen before in the US. Have you ever done a cooking show to show us how you use the produce?
That tangerine was massive!
Brillant Mark. Another great vid. All of your advice is invaluable. Keep up the humour as well 😂😉Love it….
Mate you’re luck you don’t need to wear a subzero jacket like some other people!
Can you help me?
Hey man, I’m in cairns qld, what types of vegetables and fruits should I plant at this time of the year?
I love how he always says "we" so cute 🥰🥰
"Winter" without at least a yard (1 meter) of snow is fall.
Another great video, very educational and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for what you do.
Have you ever thought about growing Florida Everglades tomatoes they are a cherry tomato I’m sure they would do amazing there
Thank you for sharing!
What’s the capital of China.
Winter in Queensland, that time of year when you might have to wear trousers instead of shorts.
Hi Mark. I know this is not the correct place to put this question but to be honest, I am "catching up" on every bloody vid you put out as they are ar just so "amateur" in your presentation style (which is brilliant) but ever so "professional" in the underlying content. In regard to Pot Ash which was one of your vid’s, would burning cardboard be of any benefit in creating Pot Ash. I can not think of anyone better to pose this question too. Cheers cobber. My email spoke is "fam" as in your family…"pet" as in your pet ducks and the first number being one…so it is fam pet one at gmail dot com .. If you can work that out you have done bloody well. Feel free to email me if you want with your reply as a bit more personal. Cheers.
..what are doing with the rest of your harvest…the remaining from the regular consumption…?.you have lots of harvest..
You and your garden is amazing. I did gardening as a creative outlet this summer due to pandemic but the more I watch your channel, the more I think about “hm, could I be self sufficient since I don’t really want to go to the grocery store anymore?” I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your vids. Thanks a lot.
I love watching your videos, even though 99% is stuff I can’t personally do myself. I live in Minnesota, U.S.A., and we go from -20 (-30c) up to possibly 110 (43c)! How cold do your winters get?
Always do
nice one bro
