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 :)

Nobody's gonna talk about the fact he's saying very useful information about the plants having great points while being enthusiastic and happy?! This guy is amazing

Can confirm lemon tree was the best decision ever for us. We bought a lemon tree at Home Depot for Mother’s Day 10 years ago... we are not gardeners, my sisters and I broke the tree trunk when planting it and heard a massive snap😅 it was more of a gesture but till this day we still have lemons literally all year around somehow and the lemons start growing about a foot off the ground and go to about 15 feet high and it grows wide! We call it the lemon bush- my dad has to trim it constantly and the magical single tree yield so many lemons that we leave box outside with free lemons. This is the strangest magical tree- we do nothing but cut it down as it overgrows yet we constantly have lemons.

kumquats helped me to stop smoking years ago. Those and water. Try smoking a cigarette while eating a kumquat, no way you can do it. It would be a disgusting combination. Also, I increase dramatically my intake of water (canceled alcohol and coffee)
You cannot smoke a cigarette and drink a glass of water at the same time also disgusting. So there you have another wonderful use for kumquats.

Once rented a house with a pretty small backyard, but a huge grape vine under the deck, a plum, lemon, apple and pear tree, plus blackberries along one fence. Just had to water them during dry periods, and they made insane amounts of fruits....to the point we had tons of raccoons, skunk, possum, etc. getting them off the ground. Can’t wait to have a similar yard.

Plums need a lot of root space though. If you cut one back, or if it has health issues, it will send out suckers a good distance away from the mother plant. So, don't plant a plum tree near a building or structure. Awesome video, Mark.

Dried Afghan mulberry plus ground dried walnuts makes a great dessert called TALKHAN in Afghanistan.
You can make it at home.
Tastes great with green tea.

I feel very humbled watching your videos and realizing how little I know about gardening even though I've done it my whole life. Thank you, sir! Amazing.

My parents bought a farm lot that was greatly overgrown, and one of the trees we discovered (well, my dad identified it) was a mulberry tree. It barely had leaves, one of the thin trunks was leaning heavily down (vines and wild growth had covered it), and the fruits were super small. A couple of months after we cleared the area and I took off everything covering the tree, it grew so fast that we can't reach the fruits anymore 😅

I got a Meyer lemon in a 25 gal pot in my window, just picked one the size of my hand.

❤️ the guy, he’s gonna save the world.

I'm in Arizona. We've been having -0 winters with snow and my lemon tree has pulled through 🙂
Unfortunately, my plum hasn't flowered. I've been told it needs another plum tree for pollination or the desert heat is too harsh.
Growing up, my grandmother in NY had a kumquat tree in her inside garden. That is a wonderful little fruit to snack on, imo 🙂

My mum found multiple mulberry trees after moving into a new house with some land behind it, and she makes the best mulberry bread on Earth! :p

Really liked him in Gladiator.

Good acting here too.

Update: 601 likes, OMG, thanks guys. Keep them coming. Once I reach 1000 likes, I'm going to exchange them for coupons and get an orange peeler.

You're the best! You crack me up, and educate me at the same time. 👍

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. I love this guy, wish we could be neighbors and garden together!

[macybrown]

I’m so proud. We have all the five fruit trees you mentioned growing in our backyard.😃 But they are all still small, not producing much yet.
