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, I finally got this video done! Thanks for your ongoing support 🙂 Feel free to visit my Website at https://selfsufficientme.com/
We bought a 4 acre home in Kansas in February and your videos are very helpful. Lot of work cleaning up the place and we listen to your videos all day long. Really appreciate you and your content. Locals are already complementing how good the place looks. Your an inspiration and happy that we found your channel. Thank you.
Hello Mark. Very good video. Thanks. Here in my country, Rosemary is called Romero (it is a family name). You have a privilege of cultivating plants from other countries like India.
Fantastic video. Thank you.
In Western Australia Mark, I would add sage to your list and remove garlic, (only because I'm allergic to it and onions).
I have 13 of your top 21 herbs in my garden, plus I have marjoram, curry plant, camomile, peppermint, and horseradish.
Tutankhamon seasoned with coriander… Yummy. Turmeric? Try kurkuma like elsewhere! No weird pronunciation troubles.
have you tried dilly beans. they are great. just can fresh whole beans with plenty of dill.
Thought about making a herb garden in pots…. You are definitely a dad them jokes are the best
This video is basically Mark performing Scarborough Fair.
I just found a new plant to grew that is sweet. It’s a stevia plant so good
Mark I love watching your videos I learn so much stuff about gardening and still learning stuff about gardening by watching your videos
His mummy? LOL.
Great list! For myself, I would take away lemongrass just because we rarely eat it, but I would add tarragon for sure – nothing much goes better with chicken or eggs than fresh tarragon (french is definitely best but russian works also in a pinch)
Paprika peppers!!
That mummy joke really got me.
Culantro is another great herb
I grew Thai Basil for the first time last year from a "bonus" pack of seeds I received in a lot of seeds I purchased. I dried it and crumbled it to store in an herb container to use later. I just used some of it yesterday morning on my eggs. It's not hard to grow and tastes great!
Here in North Carolina I've got a handful of herds growing in my garden but this gives me great inspiration to get back into my garden. P.S. I absolutely love peppermint so I know you recommend growing it in a container but I love peppermint so much and I use so much of it I have planted it in my yard an hope to replace my grass with as many eatable mints and herbs as possible. (I live in the country and my husband and I don't prefer the look of grass. Yes I know not very American)
Can you do a video on grinding herbs into a powder?
That was a fine list. We do a few types of mint, cilantro and have a nice rosemary bush here in the Pacific Northwest. We also have chives, green onion and garlic. Love the mint in mojitos, use the cilantro (the fresh green leaves, coriander is the ground seed, at least to us 'Mericans) in all our Mexican style cooking and love the rosemary on roasted red potatoes. We have wee bit different climate that you, but can grow our own as well..
I feel better about my continuous failures grow grow parsley from seed now
Thank you for your always informative and entertaining videos.
I think you covered it all.
Hy Mark, some of the plants you mentioned, i have never heard of. Thanks for expanding my knowledge. I would add horseradish to that list. We (in Slovenia) use it a lot, especially during Easter.
Plant fennel near the kennel to keep the fleas away.
Love your content.
The tips are gunny as
Can't wait to start my garden, you're a true inspiration
Thank you
