In this video, I show how we grow food (vegetables and fruit) all year round in our home garden as we transition from summer to winter.

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 🙂
What’s the capital of China.
Are you South East Queensland Mark or a little further North?
If anyone wants a bulletproof bean to grow, try 'Vitalis' type. You wont regret planting them. They are stringless and high yields per plant.
Always do
"winter"
Have you considered growing Galapagos wild tomatoes in summer? Supposedly they're much more heat-tolerant than domestic tomatoes. They're about cherry tomato sized.
I made Jerusalem artichokes into brined pickles this winter. They are really nice. Thanks. It also gets rid of the wind they cause when cooked.
starts garlic in the fridge
plants them in the spring
nice one bro
Thank you for your videos! You make it seem so doable to be self-sufficient in something and I'm really excited to get more self-sufficient!
Wow!! That’s a lot of tomatos!!
I love watching your videos, even though 99% is stuff I can't personally do myself. I live in Minnesota, U.S.A., and we go from -20 (-30c) up to possibly 110 (43c)! How cold do your winters get?
Hi Mark,
How did you go growing the Rocoto chilli?
I am gobsmacked at ours here on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, as they are prolific all year round. Even through winter when the temperature drops to 2degrees Celsius.
They are a spreading plant and we hope to espalier ours when we move to the Westernport-Bass region soon
Thank you for sharing!
..what are doing with the rest of your harvest…the remaining from the regular consumption…?.you have lots of harvest..
Have you ever thought about growing Florida Everglades tomatoes they are a cherry tomato I’m sure they would do amazing there
I've sowed Radishes in the summer. I dont think they would make it. I dont know why but, my zucchinis/ summer squash arent producing any big fruits. I dont know why they wont do it. My Marigolds are doing good. My cucumbers arent producing fruits too. I dont know why that also happens with the cucumber.
Can you help me?
Oh yeah, i've got your variety of radishes.
Do you have a system for filling the metal elevated garden
17:05 : My car trying to start in the winter
Love your channel thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I like your videos but being on the other side of the pond we don't use most of those crops
