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 🙂

G'day Everyone, fair dinkum I had never heard of strawberry spinach but I'm super keen to try growing and eating it because if spinach gives Popeye big muscles well then what would strawberry spinach do?! Cheers 🙂
Spaghetti squash is super easy to grow and I use the seeds from the squash year to year here in San Diego. Try slicing horizontally in 1-2inch thick pieces so the squash looks like a ring, remove seeds and save for next year, and then drizzle squash with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake in the oven until brown. So good!!
How is strawberry spinach growing? Definitely looks cool!
The strawberry spinach really does look like that. I put some in last fall and it actually overwintered here in West Michigan (as you’ve probably heard, it gets pretty cold here. -5f at times). Right now it’s covered in berries. Don’t waste your time trying to carefully pick each berry. Just put a finger on each side of the stem where the berries start and slide your hand up the stalk. All the berries will pop off into your palm. They’re a little earthy, but still pretty sweet. The darker red, the better. Almost purple
I saw a two-dimentional tank in your garden!!! Very interesting!! Love your videos! We are first time gardeners- but we chose very different things to plant because my daughter is adventurous. We planted Atomic & Black Mountain Indian Corn, Black Coat runner beans, 1500 year old cave beans, & Dragon's tongue beans from the Netherlands as well as 4 rows of tomatoes that were given to us, dill, 3 kinds of cucumbers, 4 kinds of squash, and a unique variety of Amish melon. We have tons of packages that we didnt plant because it all sounded so good that we bought way too many seeds. So even though we have 4 kinds of squash, we have only one plant of each, etc. Just hoping it turns out well.
I wana grow that broccoli just for the look of the fractals – so cool
Spaghetti squash is very prolific and delicious
Mark, after a patch of plants have run its course, do you add soil amendments to the old soil or do you dig it out and replace with new soil?
i can see how it would be difficult to figure out what growing season you're, but i would take all year round gardening over this cold weather and short summer here.
Very educational thank you
I like seeing seed packs,do you sell?
Romanesco: Roma (like the tomato) – nesco (rhymes with tesco)
Try growing the biggest fruit in the world (the Jack Fruit) we have a lot of them in Jamaica
Hi Mark,I know you do a lot of seed saving and collecting from the plants in your garden but when you do buy seeds where do you buy them from. Keep up the amazing content. Cheers.
Hi Mark, I wonder if you have any problems with slug and snails in your area. I live in Melbourne and my veggie garden destroyed by them. Cloud you share the tricks, please?
Yes… in a salad with aplles cucumber
And onion with sweet and sour vinaigrette…..
Just ordered my strawberry spinach..super excited!!
Greetings from cape Town south Africa
I have grown spaghetti squash a few times and its easy to grow, its a good selection if there's kids involved. Easy to be successful, it can be prepared a number of ways. My favorite is to cut it open to clean the seeds out and fill the cavity with meat loaf and bake it long enough to cook the meat. Let it sit a few minutes and slice it from the side, its delicious, spaghetti squash is a good choice
Thank you sir for your great videos. I am only a novice. Your videos has been great for my garden.
Gratitude.
Just wondering how the Strawberry Spinach went.
I believe that cauli is pronounced Roman-esco
Thank you.
Hi There, I enjoy your programme. The reason why we leave unusual veg on the shelf. Is because I don't know what to do with them, even though I may like to try it. God bless.
My plan is to work enough to retire and do exactly this.
I stand with you with trying new plants! I am SO excited for you with this new adventure in your own backyard! Looking forward to the upcoming videos.
