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, that kookaburra still won't leave me alone lol… I'm still working towards going live soon but I just want to make sure the connection etc is solid before I take the plunge this time. As always, I don't ever take your ongoing support for granted and thank you wholeheartedly for watching my videos! Cheers 🙂
Thank you.

Is it my imagination or is Mark taking the Dad jokes to the ninth degree? Great video Mar, always worth watching.
Loving your videos! They've inspired me to really enjoy my garden this year. And definitely give the kookaburra a name!
Perhaps, Bugger. Mr Bugger Off the Kookaburra. 😏
I for one appreciate you so SOOO Much! Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I completely agree with the idea of taking time to enjoy your garden. I do most of mine in containers and sometimes I just stand at the window and admire all the greenery and flowers. Doing that – and, as you say, sitting outside on my patio with some tea or a glass of wine – and I can feel the tension leaving my body. As for another thing I do every time I'm in my garden – take a big sniff! The scent of the mint, the basil, the flowers, even the tomato plants, is one of the best parts of gardening for me.
I think the cheese took over the veg…. lol
Brother your bush turkeys are good eating….,.Just sayin.
Hey Mark. How's the kitchen makeover going?
I’m going to be singing the kookaburra song or Rocket Man for the rest of the day. 😁
Look at that beautiful bird @8:37 – is that a lorikeet?
PS thanks for the dad jokes 🤣
Daily task no matter what: just go out and absorb some of the goodness in the garden, even for a few minutes. Soak up some of the joy from seeds germinating or flowers blooming before commuting to work.
I truly enjoyed all the dad jokes ❤❤
>sees giant bird next to tomatoe
>walks up to it kasualy
>what ae u douin thea, bugga off
The Elton John joke😂😂😂
I say you have a new friend! 😉 I love the dad-jokes by the way! 😀
With me being a recent gardening addict I think it's important to note something I do ever day which is Planning. Whenever I'm doing my daily tasks I'm always dreaming of something else I could, or want to, grow. Whether it's bed placement , adding irrigation, constructing trellises, mixing soil, prepping beds and such. I'm always finding stuff I need to do in the future.
the tip to enjoy your garden is the best. I love to just look, touch and smell the plants and soil. And the dad jokes were great!
Thank you for the wholesome and helpful content, as always!
Plan bee 😂 🤣
Just came in front the garden and pretty much did all your said without hearing this video
👏👏
Even 5 minutes a day pulling up weeds makes a huge difference.
This has to be my favorite SSM video ever! Great job mark!
If you like herbs you should plant some Caribbean Tomato plants. The aroma is wonderful and it has many health benefits. It will grow like a weed there where you are.
