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 :)

A couple years back one of your clips randomly appeared in the girlfriends account on the loungeroom tv. I clicked on your grinning mug, cos you looked interesting and for some reason i was mesmerised. I was not a gardener, ever. Our quarter acre block was just something i ocassionally walked through playing with the dogs. Your common sense and low maintenance gardening peaked my interest somewhat, maybe theres something to this... Anyway, fast forward a couple years and i am a composting machine, half the backyard is now a back-to-eden style sea of tranquility, im working on a couple 7 metre hugulkulture raised beds down the back, standing up pallets everywhere to harvest my soon to be world class strawberry walls of tastiness and generally getting some value out of our largest ever investment. We've started eating healthier as a result, and have met some incredibly interesting people thru my new hobby. In an age of being constantly flooded with useless information its great to find people whose contributions actually matter and enrich the lives of the rest of us. Thanks heaps mate. Keep up the good work

I moved from Florida to Ohio recently. It's a trade off between only having 6 months to grow, instead of all year, but with the benefit of being significantly easier to grow tomatoes. It's about 10 times easier to grow in general in this cooler climate because of less humidity, heat, diseases, pests, and no root knot nematodes. Every place have it's own challenges.

another one for the autumn/fall is onions, important time to grow if you've got tough skinned onions (not so much for shallots but your brunswicks and brown onions also love a long growing season in subtropics), for people in temperate zones your ideal option there is to start your crop indoors and move them outdoors after the night temperatures reach above 10 degrees celcius / 50 degrees fahrenheit. I'd recommend at that point (for cool and temperate zones) just growing them indoors on a pot stand and wheeling them outside every few days during the daytime to give them some much needed sunshine and a little extra air movement. The ideal growing situation if you want to grow indoors is in a strawberry planter, growing your alkaline (fruits and tubers) at the top, then your brassicas in the middle and lastly your onions and acidic plants at the very bottom (as the acid crop). This way as you water the alkaline plants don't get hit by acidic leaching.

Who would have thought you could grow so many things in winter especially Tomatoes haha. Be nice to have a video about herbs for winter if they grow. Es

Thanks so much for posting this video, my partner and I are just getting started on our own small acreage becoming as self sufficient as we can, and food production is one of our top priorities. We already have a small orchard started with much more to be added in the near future. My next major project will be getting the first of our raised garden beds built. Eventually I will be building shade houses as summers here in southern NSW get very hot and dry. Your videos are some of the most interesting and informative and well produced.

Hey Mark thank you for that tip to save growing tomatoes to Winter. I'm struggling here in Sydney trying to grow tomatoes during summer.

Down in South Australia we grow tomatoes through summer, no fruit fly here fortunately. :)

Isn't that an epic amount of tomatoes to be growing? What are you going to do with it all?

We are really keen to make a heap of pasta sauce (passata) and preserve them in as many other ways as possible such as dehydrated etc. I personally eat about 2 medium-sized tomatoes a day. Another great thing about tomatoes is they are one of the few foods that actually become healthier through cooking and preserving. Cheers :)

​@@Selfsufficientme It's an interesting challenge of how to balance the limited growing seasons of produce and our desire to have them on hand all year round. I think that's going to take some adjusting as I move from store bought items to being more self sufficient. Thanks for your insights :)

@Faye Flower Beans are legumes and legumes are nitrogen fixing plants that enrich the soil, conveniently feeding other plants like tomatoes. Cane farms sometimes plant peanuts between cane seasons to put some love back in the soil. Those tomatoes will benefit from the mung bean rhyzomes hosting bacteria that fix nitrogen.

Here in Southern Nevada we have very long growing seasons. While we do get some humidity, it's not as bad. But, the heat! 😫. But, we can start our gardens as early as February and grow some veggies well into December if we protect from frost. I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Your channel is chock full of useful info! Thank you! We're new to growing our own food but it's something we've wanted to get into for a long time. We moved back to Queensland (from living in Europe) late last year and I am completely clueless about how to grow food in the various seasons here. We're on the hunt for a property to buy but have a small veg patch in our rental garden at the moment. We inherited some tomato plants and some carrots with the rental and I'm growing some spinach at the moment too. Working my way through all your videos to get an idea of where to start, thanks again for the hard work you put into sharing all this information :)
