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 :)

Add onions & garlic and I’m on board! Thank you for this. I always love your content!

[downunderfulla]

Potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes and silverbeet/kale are my choices for value at harvest

[rocktigerdesign]

Massive green thumbs up from me. Specially because I can grow these in Scotland more or less with a success. ❤️

[patriciatinkey]

Sweet Potatoes for both tubers & leaves! 🎉 Green onions as carefree crop that makes almost everything taste better!😊

Good Morning, Mark! I’m in New Jersey and built three raised beds from 22 inches to 33 inches in height all from my deck that I ripped out last summer💪🏽. Filled with logs, wood chips, mushroom soil, manure compost and homemade compost. It’s planting time! 👍🏼

5 ~ Beans.. Madagascar Beans, 7-year perennial that can be eaten young as a 'green bean", and once dried (on the vine), they make a great base for soups (soak overnight), plus (depending where you live), 2 crops a year

Thanks for the reminder Bud! Just went out and planted some old Potatoes that were sprouting.

Thanks Mark. Have a good day. I have planted tomatoes, pole beans, bush beans, okra and squash so far this year. We have had so much rain and weird weather this year in Texas but I think by Mothers day all will be well. Have a great week.

That "boooyeans" felt like a spring coming loose xD loved it

You are AMAZING 🤩 Thank you so much for educating the world 🕊️

[lifesgood]

Good on you for pushing this out there Mark. So many are struggling at the moment to feed themselves/family. Keep up the great vibe!! We grow as much as we can and also give our excess to neighbours.

Always great to have some wholesome food for thought. Thanks.

Brilliant short video 💫 Brilliant subject of not just growing your own food but really thinking about what it is foodwise, nutritionwise, and budgetwise. Superb content 🏆🥇

[perspectiveiseverything]

Thank you, Mark. I love & appreciate you for sharing your experiences & wisdom all these years to help us.❤️

[TheOnlyJonno]

Thanks mark. Good info. We are about to get fisted harder than the 2008 gfc. Im stocking on bulk tinned food and rice etc whilst growing a heap of our own fresh produce.

[MadameWesker]

I literally just had snap peas and grape tomatoes as a snack. I really should put them in the garden

[Dandamayn]

I haven't tried cabbage yet... And my corn never goes well (I don't have the space for enough stalks for a good crop) but the other four are my main staples.

[realstatistician]

It’s cool that all of these plants you mentioned are plants you can even grow in very cold regions.

[PlantBasedFolk]

I’ve got potatoes, beans, tomatoes and maybe pumpkin growing. Yay! Food for life!!! 🌱

[debraberg]

Green Beans and potatoes cooked in stewed tomatoes with chicken is one of my favorite meals. So easy when it's all growing right there.
