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 🙂

We are copping it in Sydney too.
tfw hill enjoyer
Stay safe Mark and family. Our place in Marulan has copped a bit too much lately too, but nothing like that.
Praying for you, your family and your neighbors.
Sorry your so flooded. We r still looking for rain down south. Its good u have raised beds. Praying ur chooks r ok. When I was in tropics we often lost them due to wet weather. Has your drainage been worked out from the 2011 floods?
Will this bring in snakes with the long grass?
We are praying for the mob up there in the cleanup
Good thing you're an intelligent man, that has RAISED garden beds.
Good luck bro.
Time to get your boat out, Mark or you and the chooks might need to get the floaties on LOL Love that shot of the roo, ….boing, boing boing as he/she skips away. Looks like you have to invest in better redirection drainage for the shed or it will damage its foundation. Thank goodness for the birdie garden beds.
Why leave the chickens to fend for them selves. Save your animals.
No good Mark.
Glad to hear you are doing ok Mark
Free pool!!
Sorry for you folks with all that flooding and clean up!
God bless, have you lose power yet?
Take care, stay safe Mark and your family mate. Seeya Rob
Sorry to hear that, but there is evidence that these floods are man made by chem bombs to stop the protesters. We live in a very evil world.
Would swales or ponds help you or make the drainage worse ?
Good luck !!!
Absolutely incredible. Hope you’re safe.
Hah I used the exact same potting mix as poor persons sandbag too
Keep an eye out for snakes! Floods mean snakes. They'll be looking for a safe dry place so make sure you're careful in the shed. You might be able to get some of that extra produce out to the local food bank (if you have one) for those people who got hit hard.
It's raining down here on the central coast too, just not as bad. My todler has been stomping around the back yard in gum boots just absolutely loving it. No idea how bad this could get
take care mark,stay safe mate,we had the same here in hervey bay last week,we,re out of flood here but feel for the poor people in maryborough and my own home area in the clarence valley northern nsw
Sending thoughts & prayers from South Africa to everyone in South East Queensland.
