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 :)

Am I the only guy that wishes they lived in Australia and had this dude as a neighbor? Could you imagine spending a Saturday having a beer with this dude? It'd be a blast

Your enthusiasm helps all of us who are trying to grow stuff!!

Oh, It's Beautiful Japanese DAIKON!!!

[ScientistWind]

You can eat the leaves aswel. In Japan they are put in all sorts of dishes. Fried with garlic with a bit of soy sauce is very tasty.

I've grown those from dumping out microgreens grow mat in the garden bed. The seeds that didn't grow for microgreens will sometimes grow in the garden bed. I've had them grow that big also. They're very tasty sliced thin to put in salads.

That's Dave! Dave the Daikon.
I can tell by his glorious handlebar moustache.

Love cooking with those with eggs in the morning

Honestly one of my favourites. Pickle cubes in 1 part water, 1 part vinegar, 1 part sugar (or replacement) and you've got the side dish with korean fried chicken. I've been having it with almost every meal and a single daikon makes so much its lasted me a couple of weeks each one.

Magic! Hoping to get a good harvest this year.. been following you for a while .. but now a dedicated food grower now

[aprilpotter]

I can easily come close to that size too. They are the most rewarding to grow.

[katerusse]

Congratulations! Your harvest is great!

[taylamaree]

Hey Mark, nice knife skills. I’m impressed!

[pornhub]

In korea you blanch the tops and leave them to dry to use as a vegtable later on

[geraldturcotte]

hey Mark just to let you know you can feed those radish tops to your poultry.

[saltypuppy]

I left mine in the garden and they are huge now

Daikons and similar are great for dealing with clay heavy soils by leaving the radish in the ground. It’s easier on the back too 😏

Lol the leaves are the most nutritious part of the plant good for soup or stir fry. Love your sense of humor nice one 👍
