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 :)

Can we just appreciate how strong this man's hands and forearms look? Farmer muscles are just a on a different level.

"Sweating harder than a sumo-wrestler's crotch" is a line I'm gonna save for later, thank you very much.

I grew up on a 100 acre farm in Mississippi. We raised cattle and had wild plums and dewberry bushes all over the pasture. The plums were small, about an inch across but they were sweet and full of flavor. My mother made plum jelly and plum cobbler every summer. I spent many hours out picking wild fruit and eating as I went.

This man is like the Steve Irwin of gardening lol!

Mark, You have inspired me for the last two years to get off my lazy butt & clean up my garden and start growing again. These last two years have been great getting back to nature. Thanks for all the tips that you’ve given and inspiration I needed to start growing again. 👍

Your mum is so pleased and happy with her fruits, I love to see it 💖🙌

I had a tonne of fruit on the plum trees this year - and they were beautiful! The tree did what you said - the branch broke but this was early in the season and I left the branch but there were heaps of plums and all the plums ripened and not a bug. There's nothing better than plums. I love them!
-
The good thing about having the overripe fruit is your animals get to enjoy some too. Though i feed my soured figs to the tree. That's my way of fertilizing my tree.
-
We have heavy clay soil and planted our plum tree about 3 feet from a steep little hill. I mulch them with dropped leaves from our oak trees. So far so good!
-
Your mom is so adorable!!😭😭💗 she looks proud of the harvest!!😊
-
In my suburban backyard I've got 5 plum trees. As a new gardner I thought my cautious pruning and never thinning was burdening the trees. I grew LOTS of plum...s and the birds had the extras. I don't feel like such a bad plant parent now and I also got some new care tips. Thank you!

Oh crap. Congratulations on 1.1 million subscribers.

Im getting plums cuttings from my cousin this year! I cant wait to grow me some plums. I love eating them
-
Plums look so good.
-
I always says this “homegrown fruits or vegetables are the best”. And he doesn’t use pesticide. We love this gardener❤️
-
Nice plums mate! Thank you for sharing Mark 🙏🥰🌴
-
Hey Mark, I wish you could make more videos weekly... You and Rob are the only QLD YouTube gardeners I can get tips from 😊
-
"Living mulch" - What a great idea.
-
I am glad to see your tiny mature plum tree...I am two years into a tiny tree edible orchard and it is nice to see what will come! I am youtubing my journey as well and at the very least I will have a nice record of my progress!
-
Thank you! Here in North East America, I don’t believe I’ve ever even considered growing plums. Your videos are a true inspiration for me to give it a go. Hoping to have several bellies worth by next year! — thumb up —
