It’s all happening here on our lifestyle acreage homestead property! In this video, I show you guys a bunch of stuff that’s been going on such as growing tomatoes, eggplant, asparagus, the citrus orchard flowering, pruning, zucchini, and even ducks sitting on her nest of eggs. Lots to get through and plenty of action to see so join me!

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 SSM 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 🙂
Your videos and disposition make the cold New England winter bearable. Putting a "formal" raised bed in this spring; been sharing your information with my daughter. Thanks, lots of excitement for this coming year.
imo you never need to prune citrus.
Capsicums can over winter and live for several years. I think eggplants and tomatoes might also live several years.
Beautiful garden, I enjoyed your tour.
Add some calcium chloride(pickle crisp) or oak/grape leaves or even some bay leaves which will add tannin to the brine and help keep your pickles crisp.
I love this concept too!
The shirt Mark is wearing is killer fashion!
Hi Mark I have been watching your videos for ages,thank you for all the helpful advice.I have a query about asparagus.I bought a 6 cell punnet from Turners nursery when they closed down.I have put the asparagus in a wicking bed. ( HALF IBC I follow Robs aquaponics up Ipswich way) have to say its going really well I know you don't pick it for a couple of years my question is do you trim it or just let it go berserk and then cut back in winter.I am in Brisbane in the Bayside suburbs.Any help or advice would be great.Happy gardening.
Mark do you fill the entire raised bed tub with soil or do you put straw or something lower down. Would you mind letting me know please – email: denise@brady.solutions (that's it no .com or anything)
Thank you for such vid. I enjoyed it heaps. i like the mango tree and i think you have done so well with what you have
Is there anyway to tell what type a mango tree is just by looking at it?
I've used zucchini to make pickle relish before. It was great. Just an idea for you. Cheers!
Great vids, u know your stuff. Easy to follow, entertaining.
Mark how many inches we should leave between one lemon tree to an other when we re planting , for someone who has a small yard
Great videos man. I appreciate what you do. very helpful advice.

Thank you so much for keeping the pollinators in mind. They desperately need us to do so and help them. Love your videos.
Do you know what size the dwarf Meyer gets vs the standard Meyer? Looking at what might fit in our yard
Hope to see a few of cooking videos soon. Also love the type of videos
Wthdo u do with all this harvest or have time! So lock
If you can you should try the Cebu mango from the Philippines. I hear most of their trees have been whped out. I'd hate to see this beautiful honey sweet and intensely perfumed mango die out.
I feel so lucky not to have those fruit fly problems, not sure I could take the time to fight those. I have my own issues especially gophers, birds and squirrels but they seem more manageable than those damn flys.
Congratulations on your 1 million subscribers. I am so glad I am one of them. Thank you Mark.
I love zucchini bread. Freeze the zucchine after shredding.
I love all of your videos. I cant wait to start my raised beds gardens this year. I've got one ordered and am gonna order at least one more big one. Im so excited. Im gonna grow all kinds of news fruits and veggies!
Loved it!
How wonderful and inspirational
