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 :)

Hey Mark, thanks for keeping this stay at home mom constantly inspired and motivated. We’re in the rural Appalachian mountains of Virginia and I’ve been revitalizing and restoring our family homestead. We’ve spent the spring building a raised bed veggie garden inspired by you, and fueled by your knowledge and positive attitude. Our property is HUGE and daunting. It’s far more overgrown than the beds in this video, and we’ve got morel mushrooms instead of pumpkins, but we’ve been really “getting into it” ;)

[@Selfsufficientme]

G'day Jennifer, as a stay at home dad for the past 14 years, I know how you feel! My advice is not to look at the big picture and instead divide your tasks or property into smaller projects and tackle them one at a time and this should make it less daunting. Glad that you are getting into it and all the best with your restoration! Cheers :)

I very much enjoyed this video! It reminded me of when I was a little girl, here in the US. When Winter began to give way to Spring, my favorite thing to do was to go out into our big garden, walk around, and see what got left behind before it was put to rest for the Winter, and was coming back up. Usually, it was onions, potatoes, carrots, and a green of some sort. I would come back into our little house with my shirt tail turned up, filled to overflowing with my treasured find.

when you are using a small engine like that - only put the fuel in you need for the task, then run it dry, when it stops, try to get it started again a couple times to use up the last of the fuel. When you need it next, it won't give you issues starting up.
