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 🙂
You've got some lovely lettuce there!!
Hi Mark, I notice that you don’t mind handling some plants like radish and parsnip with bare hands, where I always find them a bit prickly and stinging. Any comment on poisonous/ stingy plants?
He’s the Steve Irwin of vegetable gardens
Can you lacto ferment carrot tops?
Thank you for following your passion for you're taught me how to grow my favorites foods. Will definitely keep you posted on my progress as an amateur grower.
I’m watching your videos every day. I only subscribed this year, so I have a Ton of videos to enjoy a bit each day. Hoping the more I watch, the better I get at gardening – by diffusion lol! Just harvested my first crop of Bok Choy. Thank you Mark!
I don't thin not because I don't agree with it, it's because I'm a lazy Gardener I let natural selection do my bidding
OMG, that lettuce is gorgeous!
Not thinning out was my BIGGEST mistake with my pot garden.
Every plant, grew small. No matter what it was.
Makes complete sense to me though! I haven't made that mistake this season, thanks to your videos!!! And im growing my first purple basil, because of how much you seem to like growing it! Super excited!
Thank you very much for posting.
Thank you for sharing! This video was very helpful as we are taking our first stab at carrot seedlings this year!
Mark your a wizard in the garden! Learning every day from both your channels. I find myself going back to older video to help recollect what you said about certain fruit… AWESOME ADVICE! Keep getting started Garden wizard!
I love your videos. Thank you so much for posting. I've learned loads as an inexperienced gardener. You and Epic Garden are my favs. Have you ever tried square foot gardening? It seems like some of your principles are similar. What do you think of SFG?
lol. you crack me up. great teacher you are
With little seedlings, I just take scissors and snip the tops off. That way, I don't disturb the roots of the neighboring plants.
I love your videos. I live in Utah, USA.
Kinda different climate but still great content and helpful. Thanks. P.s. you're pretty handsome and entertaining.
Those plants aren't social distancing!
Dude, you are the Steve Irwin of gardening. He was basically my hero as a kid, I absolutely love it!
I really love how with all the info u keep it fun!! Ty I have been using most of what I’ve learned from u with great success. Also congrats on working with the epic gardener!
Hi! I love your videos and gardening ways! I just thinned a bunch of carrots, and they are similar in size to the ones in this video.. do you just clean them really well and eat them without peeling since they're so small? I always peel big carrots, but I don't think that would go well with these 🙂
Mark like big beets and he can not lie…
Thank you. So well explained and fun to watch.
Lol :):) Love this idea . Do you collect your own seeds?
Can you please do some merch with "Lets get into it:
