What Vegetables I Am Currently Growing | In a Subtropical Winter

In this video, I take you for a tour around our vegetable garden to show what we can grow in winter over the coldest part of the year here in our subtropical climate.

Using the links below also helps support my channel:

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 :)

"This usually doesn't grow this time of year" - Plant looks fantastic
"Never tried this before, no idea what'll happen" - Plant looks fantastic
"Just an experiment, might not make it" - Plant looks fantastic
"Just came up by itself, might have to rip it out" - Plant looks fantastic

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 😄

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.

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!

Ok, he’s got a filing system for his seeds!! I love that. It appeals to my gardening side and my organisation side.

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!

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!!!

[jofenton]

Was overwhelmed with my seeds that i was saving, until I just saw your filing system! Thanks :)

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! :)

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!

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!

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.
