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 🙂

Never underestimate the value of herbs and spices in a survival situation. Those potatoes will get real bland after a few weeks, and mental health is invaluable
In addition to your list, I recommend spinach/swiss chard/collards/molokhia because of the fact that these nutrient dense, grow especially well in window boxes (and therefore doesn't need much space!!), and if you pick the outermost leaves, it'll continue to grow even during harsh winters!!
I hope you are not blaming the Irish starving on the Irish themselves. The British were exporting crops from Ireland at the same level pre-famine as they were during the famine. The English did nothing but allow people to starve and any help was too little too late. The Sultan of the Ottoman Empire offer to make a large donation when people were starving but it was refused by the English crown because it was more than she was providing. Thanks to English colonialism the majority of Irish were tenant farmers (on land they previously owned) and they had to used most of their land to grow crops to be sold to pay rent to their English landlord and only a small part was used for the potato growing which was the people lived off of. So you had a colonial system compounded by incompetent or purposely done leadership.
Survival crop videos are usually so boring but you had me giggling all the way through, made my day.
Champion!
Sweet potatoe, more nutritous that spuds
this guy is so needed now ! But also try spinach beet/perpetual spinach…….
carrots
Good to see a decent length video…thumbs up.. , I personally skip the shorts, thumbs down
What about Kale? It has a ton of vitamins and stuff in it. I never had Kale though
Red beets, parsnips, carrots.. Healthy, nice and you can store them very easy. And don't forget Pattypan! Taste like zucchini but you can store them for months like pumpkins if you let them mature (the skin gets thicker).
Sunflower seeds for oil
ive ben replanting scraps like the bok choy that has roots so i get more bang for my bucks
Loved the new found sarcastic, no nonsense approach! Say it as it is and eat those beans! You'll save on heating, you know fart under the duvet…..
Banana
SQUASH. I cannot overstate how insane the yields can be with minimal effort or inputs.
I LOVE cabbage! I have 4 varieties growing in my beds right now. I do mixed beds so I snap off the lowest leaves that get huge and toss them to the chickens. They love it. I use cabbage in everything it's my favorite green, or purple. I do prefer green.
Thank you for this video. It helps me – a black thumb totally overwhelmed by all the gardening advice – to drill down and focus on just a few crops!
Sweet potatoes and onions. You can eat the sweet potato leaves while the plants grow and then the sweet potatoes store really well, longer than regular potatoes. And onions, full of flavour, store great and incredibly healthy for you!
Great Vid Mark. Love it
Potato, Sweet Potato, Zucchini, Butternut, Carrots, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, and Avocado trees.
Chokos are wonderful for a food shortage situation. One choko can provide about 100 chokos. What could be better for a famine.
Thank you Mark! We are in Hawaii, looking for new food to grow for what’s coming. Mahalo!
You're spot-on with all these tips. One thing to add though: this inflation problem was not by accident – by design.
♥️♥️♥️
England helped the Irish during the famine? Hmmm.
