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, preserving any excess harvest of homegrown chemical-free fruit and veg is important and smart. If you are interested, the link to the Harvest Right freeze dryer mentioned in the video is affiliates.harvestright.com/1099.html they are a very good made-in-the-USA machine! Anyway, thanks again for all your support and make sure you "get into it..." Cheers, :)👍
You’ve easily become one of my favorite CZcamsrs. I’ve even caught myself doing the intro thumbs up hahaha. My garden is struggling right now in the Texas heat. My first time gardening. Not sure what I’m doing yet. Thanks for the videos. Best part of my day
Mark, I’ve been getting more serious into gardening and just built some beautiful redwood raised beds with trellises and an arbor for growing zucchini, sugar baby watermelons, cantaloupes and tomatoes vertically up coated heavy wires.
I enjoy learning from your channel and others. Growing veg successfully can be surprisingly complicated! I like how you keep things simple, cost effective and productive. Also, how your plants reseed themselves!
Humans were designed to enjoy growing delicious foods while caring for the earth and animals. Your cute friendly dog looks like a small labradoodle. I am appreciative of the endless variety of tastes, colors and scents. In our hearts we know humans were meant to stay youthful and healthy forever. When our loved ones age and lose abilities that feels wrong after their lifetime of gaining skills and knowledge.
As many have prayed, I believe the time will soon come for Gods Kingdom to begin ruling over the earth and set all things straight. Matthew 6:10; Isaiah 2:4
Gone will be greed, selfishness, violence, pollution, injustice, etc. and earth will become the paradise it was meant to be. God’s purposes were postponed but must be fulfilled at the proper time. Isaiah 55:11
Hey sir do you know about Dr David Sinclair from your neck of the woods and preventative health? You might find it interesting especially if you’re interested in investing even more into your health span. Give him a read if you have time sir
Thank you
I’m not a bot. Just a person who has learned a lot about gardening from you
Hi mate. I’m trying a new plant and I can’t wait to try in May when they can be harvested. I thought you might be interested in Yacons. The grow like sweet potatoes and they are apparently very healthy for you and good for diabetics. Apparently taste between and apple and watermelon. They are known as Ground Apple’s. Anyway I thought I would let you know just incase you haven’t heard of them. Thanks for all your videos. There’s always something you can learn from one another. 😊
Bella Hella!
Scooter would 100% approve of Bella. He wouldn't want you to waste a drop of the love you have to give, so it's very fitting you and Nina have Bella. The winter garden is looking splendid. Thanks for the tour. I might have to find some of those little berry tomatoes for myself.
I wish I could fly over to Australia and spend a summer with this guy helping him with his garden and just absorb every bit of knowledge I can.
Dude I live on the other side of town to Mark and I want to go volunteer with him! 😂
I know that feeling. That's why I watch as many of his videos as possible. Kinda like having a long distance friend who I can listen to any time I want. And I leave him a short thank you comment for sharing. Terrific fellow with a sharp mind and a good eye.
@@sinntax1647what state is he in?
@@sarahrose810 yo. If you don’t know that information already from watching his video than I can’t help you. ’m not divulging his information over the internet to some stranger sorry, feels like a breach of courtesy.
Bit weird
54 raised beds? I think I can tell hubby that we can do better than 20 now, he’ll be thrilled 😆
I thought I had a lot with nearly twenty lol, it becomes a life style for sure
I would like to put in 20 beds but my wife actually wants the yard for recreational uses.
@@stanwolenski9541 I mean that’s kind of sad, how much do entertain over needing to eat?? You could do both with proper planning and compromise. But to each their own.
@@Chrysaphius86 It could be sad but I do understand her point. Summers here are typically hot with the later part of the fall and early spring being died and gone to heaven weather. The winters are mild with snow and ice a rarity. She would like to have a covered, screened in, “summer” kitchen. Although the yard is quite large it would handle maybe 15 raised beds comfortably. According to her I would like to have 40 acres and a mule for my garden. She’s right about the 40 acres but wrong about the mule, the mule wouldn’t be able to climb into raised beds.
I remind mine that the more beds I have, the less lawn there is to mow. Works great. 😂
Your garden never ceases to impress me. And little Bella came to you at the perfect time, whether you knew it or not. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet, and I'm glad Bella is there to help soften your grief over the loss of Scooter. She's so adorable and seems super sweet. I wish you all many happy and healthy years together!
54! Insane. Looks like I need to install a few more...
LOL same. I have two beds total. haha
We are expanding and making more raised beds
How many do you have, Eric??!
As much as I loved the garden tour I loved seeing Bella more. I’m so glad you and Nina took her. I don’t think it’s too soon after Scooter, dogs don’t replace other dogs, they just fill a void in our in our lives and as part of our families when they are missing. She will be a new part of the family to love just like Scooter was.
Perfectly said. 💖🤗
Yes
The garden is beautiful and so happy Bella has become a new member of your family, wishing you many years of fluffy love, she has got the best parents a fluffy baby could ask for. ❤️
And props for protecting the health of your in-laws! Of course Bella means no harm zooming around their feet, but it's a good call that they love each other from afar. Wishing Bella a happy puppyhood!
I love that you let us see the plants as they grow, no super touch up before we see it! Dogs always come into your life when you need them, so there is never a too soon. You are just respecting the magic of dog companionship!
The longer video was a great surprise. Even greater was to see you back in a cheerful mood; I'm certain Bella played a role. It's never too soon to adopt a cutie like her.
I wondered how you found enough hours in the day to keep up with all the expansions; love your approach to letting plants feed pollinators and then self-seeding. Looking forward to the results of your olla watering system, and appreciate how you still experiment with new ideas while efficiently managing the productivity of the rest of your garden.
I think your garden IS beautiful. Bella is adorable.
Wonderful garden tour, thank you Mark. Bella is just adorable ❤️
this is the guy at the gardening store who knows the difference between the 13 different soils. Beautiful garden mate.
I don't think there is such a thing as "too soon". No matter when you get a puppy, they bring joy, and that joy is even more important in times of grief. I've mourned several dogs recently, some I still mourn regularly. The dogs I still have, especially the youngster, bring you light and love and joy in those sad times. Rest in peace Scooter, I have no doubt he sent Bella to you, wanting to bring you joy and happiness
Gosh Mark!
Isn't it AMAZING at how a garden grows in size over the years!
Just like plants grow in size,
SO DO THE GARDEN SPACES!!
Back when you installed your very first Birdies Beds, did you EVER imagine you would have 57 of them??!!!
PLUS - MORE TO COME!!!
Haaa!!
I bet not!
Your space is incredible!! ❤
Your garden has grown so much over the years!!
Doubles with each extra million subs. 😉
Bella is a perfect fit. Sometimes, the universe knows what is needed. ❤❤❤
Its never "too soon" to share love.😘
Love the gardens, but love the pups too! Love you guys too! 💖 Thanks for sharing.💞
Too soon? Well there's nothing wrong with caring for a pup who makes you smile while still allowing yourselves to grieve your loss. Welcome Bella... Beautiful pup
I think we can all say that we miss Scooter, and yet, we can all look forward to seeing all of Bella's future adventures. Thank you Mark for all the knowledge!
G'day Mark.
I knew you had a lot of raised garden beds, but 62! Epic! Really like that watering system and oh boy I'd love a freeze dryer with all the growing and preserving I do here. Love my canning and dehydrating, but freeze drying would be sensational. Bella is a cutie and I'm sure you'll all have great times ahead.
All the best.
Daz.
It always amazes me, the sheer variety of foods you can grow. Great tour, and lovely intro to Bella. As sad as it is to lose a loved pup, our hearts have infinite capacity.
My gosh Mark, what an awesome tour! I really like the new space where the banana trees were. I hope we get to see it once you have it established. I think Bella is a great addition as well... she sure is a QT pie! It is hard to get a new fur baby, when the loss is so recent, but I think it helps with the mourning process greatly. Cheers, and thank you for letting us in to your lovely garden!
"Life is what happens on the way to our plans" . . .and Bella is a great puppy and I can imagine your in-laws enjoying visits. Your gardens give you amazing bounty for all your work. I envy you all those nasturtiums --- delicious to eat, but also so beautiful. And all those great, fresh veggies--- great!
Mark, the garden is beautiful, Bella is beautiful. Bella is not replacing, she is an addition. Just like the garden beds, then God willing for you and Ms. Nina- grands...We never replace anything, we just continue the story- on we go, adding and subtracting, but always moving forward. Say hi to Ms. Nina for me. 😊
Gonna have to plan to watch this another time so i can sit and watch the whole thing!!
The puppy is gorgeous and she’s so fun…. Great garden and she will be great at helping in the garden
Mark you make my day! Thanks for doing all that for us. It's all so amazing and productive and what any good Gardner would want! Wonderful 😅
Welcome sweet Bella, what a Bute!! 😅 Like THE DOG WHISPERER CESAR MILAN SAYS, "YOU MAY NOT GET THE DOG YOU WANT, BUT YOU ALWAYS GET THE DOG YOU NEED!!! Be the pack leader your dog needs.♥️
Have a great day!
Awweee, she's a cutie, Mark. Soon she will be eating lemons and berries and helping you plant your garden :) You did good with the raised beds...love it. A nice save on your back. I enjoyed the garden tour. Cheers, my friend :)
Awe ❤, I love your Bella Story! My in-laws are in their mid 80’s, and have a dog.. that has caused falls. Such great companions for those seniors, but the danger of falling is real.
🎉 ❤ Welcome Bella! Best Wishes to Doug that he isn't hurt from the fall.
Your garden is just so lovely and productive, even in winter.
Overflow of leeks, love your work 👍🏼
You have a food jungle! You have done a super job on your garden....
i would love to see you live off of your garden for a whole year. that would be amazing. the video would probably get millions of views
When I lost my last dog, I was like you, grieving. When a friend told me that the best way to fill a void in your life is to fill it with something new. That has stuck with me and, 8years later, and 8 years older, my current dog - a rescue- has been living with me and bringing me pleasure. Nadia, my dog, is starting to get on now and I'm not sure how much time we have left together but, when the time comes, I will keep the idea of "filling that void" in mind....
Wow just the inspiration I needed.. I got one raised bed but this is the ultimate dream
with that gorgeous yard a wee pup couldnt bother you much she is adoreable!
It's never too soon to share love. It doesn't take anything away from those we loved before.
Hi Mark, wanted to say thank you for the videos. Got me to make my first garden this year. I've gotten a few tomato and bell pepper plants this year. Love it :D.
Wonderful tour. Always good to see another's garden set up. And Bella is beautiful.
Your garden is amazing, as always! Always love your tours to see what new set-ups, equipment, and plants you have. Keeps me excited to garden. I am sitting here by myself clapping every time I hear "Let's get into it"
my wife is obsessed with your channel, our back yard has become a fruit and veg forest.. thank u so much ❤ 🇿🇦🇿🇼
Great to see how the garden is coming along this season, cant wait to see how the coconut goes and welcome little Bella xx
Bella is a blessing in disguise. I'm sorry for your loss. Bella knows her job is to help you grieve. onwards and upwards ❤
Welcome home Bella! Thank you for the tour!
What a sweet, new friend!! I'm SO GLAD you guy's have her. Definitely true, having a puppy is like having another child 😂. Really the best of both world's for your in-laws. They still get to see Bella and also know she has a great new home with people that will love her. I hope your father in law is not hurt from the fall. The garden looks wonderful!! About another month we will be going into fall and you will have spring. I love to see your garden growing and thriving while ours are dormant. You give us something to look forward to!! Have a lovely day.
A puppy!! ❤ So glad she could provide love to you all.
And LOVE the wild garden! That climate is such a blessing.
Your raised beds just inspire me thank you
Thank you for doing this video!! This is fantastic❤
Loved this so much. So glad little Bella has you all.
Peaceful videos that convey so much information. I love to see your garden thriving. 🌿
Mark- thanks to you, and your channel, we're now in the middle of replacing our old wooden beds with all new fancy Birdies. We're in Scotland and they weren't easy to get-but we're now the proud owners of three, and about to order another 2. What a pleasure they are to have compared to the old ones. A lot easier on the back. As for Bella- that was fate. She was meant to be yours :-) I'm so happy for you and the family. We lost our boy in April, and I'm fighting the broodiness for the moment, but I know I'll give in. She's beautiful-what a joy! Thank you for a brilliant video.
Love everything about this! Thank you for always sharing with us!
Bella is adorable. And the garden is the envy of so many. I learn so much from watching you. Thanks for all you do.❤
Welcome Bella ❤🐾
Beautiful Garden.
Thank you for the tour 👍🏻
2 Cameras! 2 Stoked! Love your energy!
I've been binging your videos for weeks now. Thanks for giving me the confidence to add to my urban garden.
Thank you for sharing your lovely garden and Bella.
I’m so envious of your garden. Beautiful.
Aw Bella melts my heart Mark and Nina! Garden looks great, thanks for the wonderful video. Always cool to see the differences between your garden and mine.
Great video. Glad to see you back after it again !
I always enjoy seeing the the things you grow.
Amazing the way the right pet comes along at exactly the right time. You never forget the others, they’re always in your heart. Have an amazing life sweet Bella.
Garden looks amazing. Have a great week.
What a great garden and food security. Bella is a doll.
Thankyou Thankyou!! We always love your garden tours, and all the best with lovely Bella.
Bella 🥰
Great to have a look around - thanks Mark. Love to join you in sowing and planting for the next season.
Nice gardens Mark. Enjoy watching your video's. Have learnt a lot from you.
I have been watching since the beginning. Love all your tutorials and how much you have developed into this lifestyle. Much thanks & love to you and yours.
The garden looks so good!! And your new puppy found you at the right time. 😊 Bella will be a great garden guard. ❤
Beloved i just cant get enough of this channel
Bella is lovely. It was meant to be. We had a Maine Coon who we loved dearly. Sadly he was battling health issues at age 13 and slept alot. One day a happy beautiful filthy dirty kitten ran down a driveway in front of our car as happy and energetic as a wiggly puppy. The home he came from was as filthy as he was so we took him away with us to a better life and he (Max) has been one of the most delightful pets we could have. Sadly our Maine Coon Andy, got worse and passed away shortly after we found Max. He has helped ease the pain of losing our beloved Maine Coon. You are so right about the having a young pet join the family later in life. What a gift they are though! Enjoy Bella! She’s a beauty, just like your garden. TFS ❤ from America.
You and Nina so fill my heart with joy, by opening your hearts and home to little Bella..... R.I.P, beloved Scooter......,.You have a glorious garden you inspire me.
Thank you so much for the garden tour. I always enjoy them. Your plants and beds are beautiful. Welcome Bella.
Great job Mark, Bella looks so cute and so full of energy!
This was a very peaceful, relaxing, fun, and informative video to watch.
Thanks for filming & sharing! 😊
Thanks for the tour! Loved it! Love Bella ❤
Amazing tour of the garden and congratulations on Bella 😍
I shared this with one of my cousins. You have a wonderful garden 😊
Great morning coffee time watching this video. I love your garden walks and seeing how you incorporate plants together and let them do their thing - grow food.
Mark, thank you for the tour of your amazing gardens. Glad for you & Nina that Bella needed you (and you needed her, whether it felt like it or not). She's beautiful, and I'm sure she'll add immeasurably to your family adventures.
Enjoyed the update and welcome to Bella. What a cutie! 😊
🥰 Congratulations on your beautiful new fur baby Bella, she has come into your lives at just the right time.... she is obviously meant to be with you guys 🙂
She's adorable! Welcome to the family Bella!!
Beautiful garden beds!! Congratulations on Bella. She is a beautiful pup!puppy!! Thank you for all you do!!
Absolutely mint video!! So happy u have ur new fur baby. Thank you for sharing
Awesome sunny spot for your veggies.
I'm amazed that you can walk out and still pick tomatoes in the middle of your winter! What are your temperatures like there during this season? Even your summer squash looks unaffected by cooler temperatures. Thanks for the tour, and it was so nice to meet Bella! I'm sure Scooter had something to do with her moving into your lives at this particular time.
Queensland is sub-tropical, Mark is in the Sunshine coast area, about 2hours north of Brisbane.
Winter is from about 18C -24C during the day. Nights can get down to single digits. Fairly mild climate.
So happy to see you have another pup
Hi Mark, and thanks for a fun wander with you and Bella. Cheers from southern US.
LOVED the tour! And congrats on your new garden companion. She looks adorable - and it's really nice what you did. Your in-laws will still be able to see her, and it must be wonderful for them to know she will be just fine ❤
Beautiful way to start my morning watching this video. It’s a beautiful garden! And what a happy ending to it with the story about Bella. So happy for you and Nina.
Welcome, Bella! Sounds like it was meant to be. Fantastic garden tour. Thanks!
That's incredible Mark what an amazing garden you have built with your own two hands
Looks incredible Mark. You never fail to inspire me more.
Welcome gorgeous Bella X
It is NEVER too soon to give LOVE.... What a gorgeous tribute to who past xox
So cute, beautiful baby❤
Thanks for the cool garden tour. Very inspiring.
It's never too soon when there's room in your heart to love again. Loving Bella won't invalidate or diminish your love for Scooter.
Wonderful video! Glad youre back posting a bit more often. Bella is adorable and was meant to be in your family. ❤
Thanks for sharing and giving so much info on your garden and what grows. You are so knowledgable and willing to try new ideas.
