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 🙂
Great i hope i have like that plants
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MUH BOY BRINGIN' THE HEAT!
Happy 50th birthday Mark
Basil's got back ruined it.
Grow different types, but not together. My plain basil got overtaken by lemon basil. So no mixing for me.
Save seeds by separating seeds from spent flower heads with blender. Strain & blow chaff away.
Cover plant with small hole mesh bag to reduce cross polination & bug infestation. Basil is self pollinating so shake plant to help pollination. Pass the word!
Hello um if you take off a stem of basil and put it into water it will grow roots aannnddd if you cut off part of a stem leaving leaves at the top the leaves will start growing new stems into different directions
I like how none of the puns/rhymes work with how we pronounce "basil" in the States lol. ("bay-zill" lol)
Basil is my go to herb!
Ever grow Marijuana.?
Thank You "Self Sufficient Me!" This really gave me a good introduction to types of Basil and their benefits. The growing tips were very useful too! And I loved seeing your awesome, huge, healthy Ginger! I'm impressed, awesomely amazed, and abundantly grateful! : – ) Happy 52 years on the planet!
I grow mint (in Fl. USA) to make Mojitos. Knew as Carlito's Mojitos

Mate , You are too good
Straight fire bars in the intro there.
I have a problem with basil mine don't grow health I don't know why
Sir , what nitrogen fertilizer do you recommend for basil to grow.?
I planted so many flowers to attract bees and nothing attracted them like my basil going to seed. Every day I'd find more and more bees. Was pleasantly surprised.
I never thought of growing basil in thick bunches. I have some lemon basil seeds that fell from my previous plant and I was going to separate them, but will leave them instead. Thanks a lot.
I love the rimes for the intro
Thanks for the basil tips. But bud why the spinning space ball globe? We arent spinning nor curving. Neither motion or curve has never been detected or measured its a lie and its time to grow up and learn where you live. If you even care seems most dont today. So sad
I’m subscribing because I like the way u talk to people . And very well out video.
Gosh I missed you. Your enthusiasm is motivating. Don’t ever stop.
Looking young for 50! I'm going to have to start growing some of that purple basil myslef. Too bad I live in the cool climate of Washington state (near Vancouver Canada). I guess I'll just have to hold off until spring.
Thanks for the tips. The sir sows a lot made me laugh.
I've had a basil plant for three years that has turned into a massive bush, and I just trim off the tips when it tries to go to seed. Love the videos, cheers
