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 :)

Add a little fresh turmeric and you'll increase the food value and the color.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Yes that's a great idea! The yellow from the turmeric would also make it look better. Cheers :)

[@adreanlinerusher]

I think it looks pretty good, like grey poupon. I would make some thick and then some thin with fresh honey :). Add in some jalepeno or plabano as well and woohoo.

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Good point!

[@nicolep2424]

Absolutely! I wouldn't NOT put tumeric in mine

[@mytech6779]

The active compound in tumeric requires black pepper for the body to actually absorb, otherwise it just gets digested and broken down before getting to your blood.

[@harryporter3531]

Man, you are such a bad influence on my schedule. Now I have to grow mustard.....lol, I love mustard 😉

[@aretonsenner6664]

Mustard is for gays. Sorry that’s Mayo

[@Drewsky840]

@@aretonsenner6664 what are you trying to say bud?

[@aretonsenner6664]

Drewsky88 lol not sure how high I was that day but mustard have been a lot

[@jerryp2341]

Adding some vinegar will help the taste and prolong the shelf life; adding a bit of salt will further prolong it; add some honey and you have honey mustard.

[@DickvanZanten]

Handmaking mustard used to be less of a hassle than you think. They placed the soaked mustard seed in a wooden bowl and added a stone cannonball of about 10 cm diameter. Then you just let the bowl roll around the bowl until the mustard is to your liking. I worked it to the consistancy of your mustard in about half an hour. Not hard to do, just timeconsuming. By the way, your recipe is the same as what we in the Netherlands know as "Groninger mosterd" and is as old as the middle ages! Cheers, Dick

[@galesmith1490]

I really enjoy your channel Mark. I love the variety of information and topics. I'm especially fond of the way you show the process start to finish. Like in this video for instance you show how grow and gather the seed to make the mustard as well as sharing the recipe. I often wish people would talk more about how they preserve and utilize the crops they're growing. You truly give the essence of self-sufficiency in your approach. You do a great job!

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thank you Gale! I do enjoy sharing how basic and easy it is to create a preserve or condiment etc from garden to table. Sometimes we (I'm talking about me also) forget that many of the supermarket bottled/packaged foods are simple to replicate at home and also we can create heaps of different recipes to our taste through experimenting that can't be purchased anywhere else which often are better for us to eat. All the best :)

[@galesmith1490]

I agree, especially here in the states, we have this tendancy to think we don't have the time to make things at home. I'm going to expiriment with some garlic and chilles in my mustard. 😁

[@pieterandries7620]

Fantastic channel! My wife introduced me to your channel, and I will be honest and say it took me a while to get used to your style, but now I am absolutely hooked. I also like the fact that you are a southern hemisphere grower like myself, and I can directly relate to your seasonal changes, unlike most other KZbin channels. Keep up the good work! Cheers from South Africa.PS. I will definitely try this mustard recipe.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thank you Pieter! I have to say my South African Brother-In-Law is a big influence on me as he has a spectacular vegetable garden (now lives here in Oz) and works in the horticultural industry. I've visited RSA a few times and one of my fondest memories was how plentiful and reasonably priced your avocados were to buy - strange I know, but when you love fruit and veg like me you remember these things lol... Yes, go ahead and try the mustard recipe or tweak it as you wish with different types of mustard and flavours etc. Cheers :)

[@toribrattain4210]

Thank you so much for all you do and all you have done. Watch regularly but not this far back. Stumbled upon it as I have several broad leaf mustard plants that went to seed and I don't want it all going back into the garden at once! Very helpful!

[@tauceti8341]

Since mustard sprouted everywhere from the first year gardening i just use it as a green mulch. My hens love it too!

[@sandraamiethyst667]

Thank you for all your hard work on your channel! I love your playful and humorous presentations! I had no idea how mustard was made. I'm going to add mustard plants to my garden now!

[@ilovecharleston]

Happy I stumbled onto this video! We grew mustard, wanting to save the seeds at the end of the season for mustard, but the seeds were black and we thought they needed to be yellow or brown. I've not been able to find the lighter colored seed, but you've just shown me how to make mustard with the black seed. Thank you!

[@xavierdireen687]

This video inspired me a few months ago to grow my own mustard eventually to make mustard condiment. My plants are already over half a meter tall in just those few months! Can't wait and thanks heaps!

[@Skellocustoe]

Hi there Mark Thankyou for helping keeping me sane during the lockdown period here in Fremantle. I live in an apartment with no garden and I have been giving my mates and family so much knowledge about how to grow vegetables and how they should all have chooks etc Thankyou heaps as well as watching Gardening Australia for telling others to call me for any gardening advice. I am also pissed off with myself for when I had my own house for all those years that the only gardening I did was prune the roses and give flowers to the barmaids for good service 🤣👍Keep up the good educational work as it’s brilliant 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😎😎😎

[@woodlandfairy5270]

You should see the beautiful patch of mustard flowers in my back yard. Looking forward to making this soon!

[@waltersherwood6234]

I may not make mustard but I want a "self sufficient me" hat! Very cool looking

[@Selfsufficientme]

Hahaha... I got it for 10 bucks at our local Anaconda camping store and stuck a Self Sufficient Me sticker on the front. Thank you :)

[@vink6163]

Love the sugar-free alternative, great stuff!

[@peachesandapril]

Thank you! I have wanted to make my own mustard for ages!! You have re inspired me to do it.

[@joefallon7288]

Great video Mark, we’ve just processed down all of our white mustard seeds and we’re going to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing mate!

[@simonavecchiotti6039]

Omg! I was looking for recepies of mustard and I found you, with this aussie accent that it m miss me, after spending 2 years in Sydney in 2000, you brought me to those days ❤ tank you for the recepies.

[@Freakontheway]

Hey Mark, from what you describe of the taste, and the way your mustard looks, it reminds me of our Dutch 'Groninger Mosterd'! Would definitely love to make that myself, so thank you for sharing this.

[@CaliforniaGardening]

Nice video mate! The mustard looks great!!

[@RobinEsch]

Thanks so much for this video! I can't wait to grow this in my garden and start making my own mustard. Also thanks for pointing out how much sugar can be in store bought mustards (and most foods).

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thanks Robin! It's very easy to do so best of luck I'm sure you will enjoy making your own mustard and tweaking it to your particular taste. Yes, I'm not a "sugar nazi" but I do think we need to be careful about unknowingly consuming too much "hidden sugar" daily so if I can make something that doesn't really need sugar I will. Cheers :)

[@melodieeab]

I bought a 5 lb bag of yellow mustard seed from a restaurant supply store for about $4. I am planning on growing my own mustard, but I use a lot for pickling so I already had a lot on hand.

[@ipeefreely2364]

I love stone ground mustard. They also make amazing greens.

[@Sleepless_Sam]

Thanks for breaking down the process. We have so much wild mustard here its considered a fire hazard, so I think I'll help myself this spring.

[@10tornado34]

You made my mouth water.

[@kayleenwest]

Yum! I don’t eat sugar so this is right up my alley. Going to plant some yellow mustard seed and see what happens. Hello from Melbourne!

[@juanitaschlink2028]

A good tip on separating the seed from the chaff, my husband taught me with my nigella seeds. Put it all in a bowl with most of the chaff already separated (just rub through your palms) and gently, GENTLY, blow on it while you swirl the bowl around. The vast majority of the seeds will stay in the bowl and the chaff will float out. So handy and satisfying.

[@LoudPackorDeaf]

Thanks for showing the whole process

[@GeneracionGoshen777]

You are the man!! God bless you for all the good information that you are sharing💪thanks from Pennsylvania

[@corymiller9854]

Ty for this recipe. I have been using sprouted seed teas on my garden and much to my surprise I now have lots of mustard plants throughout my garden. Mine have broad leaves but I live in Canada. It is mustard making time thanks again:]

[@urbanrat84]

I wouldn't have thought to grow my own mustard, keen to plant them now

[@createthiscom]

I love mustard. This looks really easy. I can't wait to try it.

[@sherrywebb1125]

I love your channel! I will be trying this recipe this year. It looks fabulous! My great grand parents grew their own mustard. Now I am going to have to grow some just so I can make my own mustard! Thank you for all of your video's!

[@sharongodbout9014]

Love Love Love grainy mustard! Way easy, Thank you Mark!! :-)

[@Selfsufficientme]

Glad you liked it Sharon! :)

[@johnboleyjr.1698]

I just made a batch of mustard using both yellow and black mustard seeds. It has Honey, Pink Himalayan Salt, and Dill in it. It tastes amazing, though it still needs to mellow a bit. Perfect for dipping sausages and cheese into. Or cooking Pork or Chicken marinated or crusted with the Mustard. Edit: I forgot to mention that I put some homemade Ginger paste in as well.

[@ginad3655]

great video... appreciate you showing not only how to grow but also how to use the bounty! thanks for sharing.. look forward to the next video :)

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thanks Gina! :)

[@kflan3342]

Thanks for the video! I am going to have to see what mustard plants will grow and produce seed here in Texas.

[@lisabooker6405]

This was great Mark. Really appreciate it. Love how creative you are in the kitchen. Best wishes to you and yours. ~Lisa

[@ScanMy2DBarcode]

Now I want to grow some mustard to make my own! Thanks!

[@FrancisRoyCA]

SOLD! I'm so glad that you took up my earlier suggestion. I don't grow things that I don't know how to use. Now I know how to use mustard. Thank you!

[@trevorbyron8181]

Nice idea...great for holistic living. Growing your own mustard...have to give it a try

[@masterschroder1269]

I had no idea that that's how you could make mustard. Amazing video.

[@HeatherDuffy1313]

Love this. You answered questions I didn't know I had yet

[@pokecardskev3267]

Great looking mustard recipe idea. I have to try this.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thanks Kevin go for it mate! :)

[@danandkiko]

Definitely going to do that simple recipe! Just started planting mustard. Thanks!

[@hudsonurruttia]

I've never seen a video of yours before but i like this channel so far and as I'm watching the video I'm just wondering how do your fore arms looks so toned

[@cbryce9243]

Homemade mustard, who'd'a thunk! YUM!! Thank you! Can't wait to grow it now!

[@crownrizla3168]

Thank you from UK. God bless.

[@aamir122a]

That last section about making mustard paste was really good.

[@GuardianKardigan]

Thank you for this video! I bought mustard seeds for my garden out of impulse and I had no idea what to do with it. But I'm definitely gonna try making my own mustard after how straight forward it seems!

[@lamprinedatsika6292]

Hello Mark. Amazing video! This year, for the first time, I had a mustard. Now I also learned the recipe. Be good Mark.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Glad you liked it Lamprine! Cheers :)

[@thegrimjeeper3427]

Great show I'm now excited to get and grow mustard

[@Drewsky840]

That bread you made your sandwich with looks really good! I can't wait to live in a house where I can have my own garden!

[@isabellaabruzzi9611]

G'day, Mark. I just went out and bought mustard plants because of this video. Can't wait to try this! 😊

[@garyz2043]

I love mustard. Sprouts and shoots. Never grown them proper yet. Will now : )

[@margarita7255]

I love your channel!! You always have great tips and advice, and you don’t ramble on!!!

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thanks! I used to ramble on more in my older content but I've improved over the past 18 months thankfully... cheers 🙂

[@ivyclark70]

Thanks Mark! Great tip! We love mustard but never think to grow or make our own.

[@armouredjester1622]

That sandwich looks delicious, especially with what sounds like some delicious mustard

[@VerucaPumpkin]

I love mustard. I can't wait to grow it!

[@julesl6910]

Great video! Your wife must be a happy lady. I'm a big proponent of mustard varieties, and there are literally hundreds of very unique types. There are spinach leaf ones that taste like spinach, spicy ones that will burn your tongue like a good pepper sauce, sweet ones, salad leaves, mizuna types, you name it. Highly nutritious. Young plants provide tender salad greens (not spicy), then as they get older you get good collard-like leaves good for stir frys or pickling. Then when the plant goes to seed you can use them directly in cooking (indian food comes to mind), or prepare mustard. They cross pollinate quickly so that in a few seasons you can make your own custom varieties. They plant their own new seeds so you literally just throw some seeds in your garden and that's it for the rest of your life. GROW MUSTARD GREENS

[@CaptainPupu]

Wow, you learn a new thing every day. I had no idea it was this easy to make mustard. In fact, I think I'm gonna give this a go. Time to order some seeds. Thank you, Mark.

[@thomasjunk5434]

Thanks! I harvested my mustard and I'm trying it right now!

[@50shadesofgreen]

awesome job mark, my dad would love this as he really enjoyed different mustards

[@nehpetsamenied9068]

Nothing beats fresh ground mustard sauce

Great clip mate. It's rare that I see something that I've never even thought about! Thank you.

[@plants4ever48]

So glad I found your channel!

[@adamfink5294]

Wow, that look great! Just a beginner here, but I'm gonna start growing mustard from now on!

[@gorillazombies189]

[@RichardAStonemasonNOTfreemason]

Howdy Mark. Was searching for a 'making mustard recipe' and this one popped up. Just had to give it a watch, seeing as it's from you. i'm pleased i did. Super easy recipe with the bonus of how to grow and harvest it. 11/10 ps. Wot No Dad Jokes? Blessings and Love from the UK.

[@sorce2175]

Have I never left a comment on this amazing channel!? Mustard been because the info is so good I just run out to apply it! Thanks a Lot! "buggered"!

[@AllotmentGrowHow]

WOW!!! That did look easy to do. Another cracking video Mark... Thanks for the tips on this one. Cheers Adam

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thanks Adam, yeah mate very easy and would grow well there on your allotment too! Cheers :)

[@hoperules8874]

So cool! So helpful! Can't wait to sow the seeds!

[@GeeaRCee]

Oh goodness. I’m salivating.

[@darknogo1]

Beautiful work, thanks for the video and love the accent

[@pranicmegan]

So I'll be growing mustard now. I did not know how easy it was ! Looks like it's going to be like my chives and spring onion patches, that is, plant once and have them forever lol.

[@Duci1989]

The sight of that made me drool a little bit

[@tristanloteryman4023]

Thanks for the mustard recipe Marc!

[@Birodalom1]

It took years for me to realize: the strange-looking bush in the "no man's land" part of my garden is actually a fabulous mustard-jungle! What an amazing plant: salad, spice and medicine in one package!

[@indiefan23]

I just used your recipe with a few alternations after forgetting the seeds letting them soak/ferment for a week or two. Holy moly is it fantastic. Next year I am planting so much mustard it's not going to be funny. Mostly used Dragon Tongue Mustard seeds. The zing in the taste is just amazing.

[@saintmaxmedia2423]

Inspired by your video, I did some research and decided to purchase a few different varieties of mustard, Of course I got Ruby Streaks and Calentine that is used to purify the soil of pathogenic fungi (source of most diseases in fruit trees and other plants) and other pathogens. There is a specific way to do it to get the benefit of this property. I got also Molokhia, and couple of others, like yellow mustard that is most common for making mustard. LOVE THIS IDEA!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@Blahshog]

I have a ton of mustard seed from last year which has been stored in an airtight jar, would it be okay to use that or would it be too old? Really enjoy the vids, keep up the good work.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Yes Michael - I would give it a go it should work fine! All the best :)

[@only-vans]

great video, one for my future pantry.

[@melodieeab]

I have been wanting to make my own mustard for some time. Thank you for the video!

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thank you! :)

[@melodieeab]

I had to come back and comment again; I made your recipe and it was fantastic. Definitely will be making it from now on. My dad loves hot mustard so I gave him a taste and he was impressed. He took a jar of it and the recipe home. He and mom will be making a batch to share with family. Thanks again for sharing this.

[@eliz0891]

Thanks I always wanted to know how to make that and grow it. I am going to try to grow in my tower garden. I have tiny back yard so have to use the areo water tower. It grows things really good. I am from Texas, USA

[@Spark_Iskra_z_Polski]

You could have blended it smooth and added a spponful of whole grains. This is the kind of French mustard that I love :)

[@Wolfsatz]

Fantastic! Now I want to grow Mustard

[@jeanskilling708]

Thank you , love the mustard.

[@TheRealHonestInquiry]

3:58 Love to see a good number of those seeds are sprouted which multiplies their nutrients!

[@YankeeLivn]

Sounds good Mark I might just try that.

[@simonsonjh]

I grow mustard each year just for bees. The seed pods do not normally mature before winter in Fairbanks Alaska, but I will try bring them inside this year.

[@georgialandau9843]

Thanks! You’re an inspiration.

[@jolyndaj]

I loved the video.

[@clintcowles7563]

I think it looked great the way it is. And I think it would taste fine too. A childhood friend of mine. His parents had a very big and very nice garden. I remember they grew mustard seed too. His mother and father are still alive but unable to garden anymore as they are both in their nineties. She baked her own bread and canned food. I really wish I had an interest in the process back then. I feel sad when I think about all that knowledge that has not been passed on. Their kids do not garden nor do they can. I've been a bit of a loner all my life and now with convid....no one comes around at all anymore. Sad days we are in.

[@timfay12]

Wicked awesome vlog! Can’t wait for my own special mustard!

[@joannretherford1144]

Thank you for the recipe 👍

[@todddecoteau2547]

If you would like to sweeten up anything from your garden without sugar then you should look into growing stevia. You can boil a couple of leaves with the mustard seeds to add sweetness

[@vibrato17]

Hi Mark, I just discovered your channel, your videos are great!! I've watched 10 already! Put on your boots and plant some zucs!!

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thank you for watching so many of my vids! Yes, they can be a little corny but I do have fun and enjoy making them especially when I get feedback like this from you. Cheers :)

[@beatnikmirage2831]

Add a little vinegar it ll be moree tasty 👍☺️

[@metaphoricdirigible1499]

It looks just like the mustard I used to pay top dollar for at the cheese shop.
