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 🙂

This man is truly the Bob Ross or Mr Rodgers of gardening.
Hubbard squash is a good one
try hokaido pumpkin…. we love to make a soup out of it
Does this include the green pumpkin seeds you buy from the shops to eat?
Omg there's a pumpkin hanging in the air 😆. That's so cool.
Hi Mark I had to laugh at your pumpkin daughter in the mesh. My pumpkin vine has grown between the shed and retaining wall
cinderella and buttercup are the best i have had. dense, rich, sweet flesh not stringy and watery. more like pumpkin pie filling.
Our pumpkins grew from the seeds in food scraps
What do you do with Bitter Melon ??
The pumpkins used for Jack-o-lanterns are a very old variety of New England Pumpkin (connecticut field pumpkin) And they are just as good for eating as any other kind. Theyre very tasty and useable for about anything you want. A good variety is Sugar pie. Very small, orange like the field pumpkin and very sweet.
I didn't know Russell Crow grew Pumpkins.
Hey I just started growing pumpkins! DO you think I'll have a big enough one before this halloween?
Why do pumpkins need spice to grow? Companion plants 🤔
Jap and Kent pumpkins are great for mashing but the best for roasting is the Queensland Blue type
Butternut pumpkins aren't technically pumpkins, they are actually a squash.
Very very informative informations thanks ❤❤❤❤
During Fall, we bought some pumpkins to put in the yard as part of our Halloween decorations. We left them out for Thanksgiving. In December, we put them off to the side for some the kids to smash. Now, we have a pumpkin patch in June. Hopefully, we will not have to buy pumpkins this year for Halloween. We live in South Texas, so we will have to keep them watered. Thanks for the tips.
Very, information
Great video this is my 1st year to win pumpkins.
I respect you being a safety nerd, safety first always
I want some of your seeds😮
Last year, my youngest daughter begged me to help her plant and grow some pumpkins for Halloween! We grew the Jack o’lantern variety, sprouted 10 seeds, thinned back to 4 plants. We ended up with 38 pumpkin, averaging about 20 pounds each. The vines though were unbelievably massive, the largest grew to 34 ft on the main vine with tertiary vines reaching 15-20 feet each. The leaves were also massive, reaching up to 18 inches wide and 22 inches long. Took a massive amount of space but she had a blast watching them grow and me showing her how to hand pollinate and what not! We have some edible varieties growing this year, all looking healthy and growing vigorously!
❤
Spagetti Squash would be a great one to try. It is super expensive in the market, so that is a good reason.
This is my first video from this channel and I am 1000% hooked
Excited to give pumpkins a go, hoping to get a trellis of some sort going to save on space. Thanks for the vid your content is very fun
3:29 all the fellas in the audience felt that one
Starts video 🧐
"The Fairy Veggie Godmother"
Spits out tea ☕🤣🤣🤣🤣
I grew a ton of these this year because last year i watched this and thought "wow that freshly sawed pumpkin looks delicious 😋 "
Tha ks Mark!
I love your jokes, keep up the wonderful videos. Watching from Atlanta, GA, USA.
It would be helpful if you gave more detail. For instance, when you say pumpkins need fertilizer, it would be helpful if you said what kind of fertilizer. When you say the right time of year what time of year would that be? I like watching your videos because you’re interesting but I don’t get much information from you.
just discovering your channel with this video, and I've gotta say- you're a DELIGHT! Thanks for making me laugh this morning. subscribed for sure 🙂
You’re so funny. 😂 🎃 thanks for all the tips.
Glad to see dad jokes are a universal trait. Thanks for the info.
I'm glad you clarified that you were joking about Cinderella appearing when you rub a rope pumpkin. I thought you were serious and was wondering how I'd explain to my wife why Cinderella was here all the time.
The pumpkin 🎃 variety I am growing now is pie 🥧 pumpkins 🎃
