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 🙂
Nice video, thanks ☺️
KangKong looks interesting, but it is not allowed in Florida without a permit
My kale plants are on a second year now. I just trimmed the stems because they started to grow new leafs in their second summer. Like tomatoes I did not know kale could last more than a year. I am curious about the next season’s leaves; their taste and nutrition levels compared to the first year’s harvest.
Try tree collards for summer
Mark, you are really awesome. I enjoy every video you make. This one is particularly funny and informative at the same time. A big hug from Jamundí (Colombia).
Thanks a lot. Good information.
You fry the Swiss charred?
Thank you
Love your explanations. Easy to understand. But utterly envious, I am living in Japan and you new single raised bed is as big as my entire garden!
Do you have a video on how to do the self watering system? Would this be good for any veggie?
Its cold in mich again!
We are getting summer in June, with 102 several days in a row, when usually that is not until August. So I am looking for summer crops now.
Love your videos!
Of the kale, I like growing white strain of the siberian kale. If you’ve got a batch of red siberian kale and you happen to get a white plant, it will bolt the last. Save seed from that one, or you can buy white siberian kale seeds. I get too many aphids and they are hard to wash off the wrinkling leaves and then I get mildew with the Tuscan/Dino kale Apparently the brassicas that are more white stem tolerate heat better than the reddish strains which tolerate cold better.
and eggplant , the small ones
The scorcher of a week we had in Seattle really cooked my summer patio potato experiment. 🙁 Those radish bean things look like a great next try!
You are the Bob Ross of gardening. Love it!
In Thailand the Kangkong is called Pak Boon. You’ll see people down in ditches on the roads, gleaning free Pak Boon by the kilo.
G’day Mark…I’m in Northen BC in Canada and wondering where to get Kangkong seeds from?
Egyptian spinach = ملوخية
Nice
How about root vegetables?
This was such a helpful video! I’m just about to sow my first spring crop and this will definitely change what I sow. Thanks Mark.
This video is more needed than ever this summer
Thank you sir! I was wondering what I could possibly grow in my garden before the temperatures hit triple digits. I am going to try to grow some of these plants. Thank you so much for sharing this great information!
Kang kong!! I giant roo!
3 spinach out of 5 veggies is not encouraging m8.
Love your Trellis sir,,
I think the ultimate hot weather plant to grow is any of the tomato family. Been growing tomatoes in Sacramento, Ca for 30+ years, they do best when the heat hits.:)
Why do people say kale doesn’t taste that bad? Wouldn’t be my first choice.
Love your vids
I’m pretty sure I have those walking Egyptian onions in my garden. They’ve been going strong for a year and a half. I love not having to buy green onions ! I just pick some and they’re back the next day it seems
Just to let you know, your tip for perpetual spinach is incorrect. It dies in rockhampton over summer. Once it gets to 39 it wilts, when we get a few days of 41-45 deg it instantly dies. Try again
Kang Kong starts life as an ordinary kangaroo, then goes through epigenetic changes after eating alfalfa laced with Grazon. He starts getting big and the growth never stops. This very, very hungry marsupial begins devouring everything in his path. In his search for food, he ends up at Dow Chemical headquarters. Poetic justice is served when he crashes their board meeting and slurps down all the members Jurassic Park style…

Hi Mark, Question: is the crinkly dark Kale the one they call Dinosaur Kale? (Other names: dino kale, Tuscan kale, lacinato kale, black kale, cavolo nero). Under the "Winter Kill Temperatures of Cold Hardy Vegetables" on Sustainable Market Farming, they name that one as surviving down to -5°F (-19°C). I just bought my first Kale and it is that variety! Dinosaur Kale is also super low in oxalates vs other Kales. And now I know it can take my brutal winters AND intense short summers! Thanks for this. I didn’t know it could do heat too! Very excited.
He loves those worms!
Lol
I love your videos.. very informative and funny,
This is my first year growing perpetual spinach. I was wondering how long does it take for a plant to get to the size you have there?
Show us how you cook them
Sir:How do I get rid of aunts.they bring in afids
Do you sell seeds?
That Mexican music made me laugh @ 3:31
Thank you very much from Morocco
I wish I could afford to grow.
