I like collecting rare and unusual food plants but I don’t just do it as a hobby rather it’s a way to diversify and strengthen the environment around our home so that there’s always something to eat. I start this video off in the vegetable garden planting corn and then we move onto fruiting trees and shrubs I have recently purchased and placed in various “gaps” around our property many of which are positioned next to ornamentals. Thank you for watching and also for your ongoing support of 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 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 🙂
This is my fav video. I'm looking up the ones I haven't heard of
I'm so relaxed watching this video, and the ending was heaven, thank you!
u da man! Please edge trim the drive way. Looks good, but make it look sexy. 🙂
Absolutely loved watching this, several times so far! Very inspiring. …Did I hear a tummy rumble when you mentioned "…growing for food" ? Lol 😉
I have to say you look a little like my Ausie Uncle Clifford Hall!
Love the merchandise, now added to our Christmas presents list; roll on Christmas!
At the risk of stating the obvious–why not dig a deep hole in the clay below your avocado plantings and fill with say sandy soil?
Nice
You inspire me so much – very educational.
What breed is scooter because he looks exactly like my puppy!!!
You call Papaya a PawPaw? Strange. There's actually a PawPaw tree that grows a massive hand sized fruit that's native to my area. Its where the tune "Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch" comes from. Its taste is a custard like banana. 100% recommend you buying a couple. You won't be disappointed. Unfortunately youll never find them in a store as they ripen too quickly to commercially sell.
How are these trees doing nearly after 2Years
I love watching your videos wish to some area of land so i can plant though just few plants only
Dont give uo on you goji berry i hesr they take a long time to fruit, like 5-7 years from seed
Love your videos, Mark. Glad South Africa made it's way into your videos with that Natal plum.
Wow, a double catchphrase! What a treat 🙂
All this and you have a horse?!?!? I thought I was jealous before but now…. great work mark!
In Peru that ‘golden fruit of the Andes’ is called a Cocona. Really lovely fruit
Hi mark, what are you using on top of the soil and where can I get it?
Thank you Mark….
Here I grow along with Ornamental plants.. I grow Turkey berry Malabar spinach Mint Papaya Chilly….. Gardenia….
I just love your garden and home. I am from South Africa and watch all your videos. My sister lives in Perth.
Love thise rare plants
Love Peaches and Cream sweet corn.
Had a bad experience with buying plants online. So I start everything.
I'm so jealous you have a lychee tree. When I was very young my cousin and I were able to pick lychee, mangos, papaya, and guava regularly in Hawaii at family houses or in wild. Those were best days.
I am giving Eden Seeds Spring/Summer 14 variety collection a go this year.
Your an inspiration thank you
