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 🙂

Thanks 🎉
I was very enthusiastic and purchased a bunch of vegetable seeds and planned on coming home and getting started. After watching this video, I now know that there is a planting schedule. Thank you for the education!
Today I learned the word "punnet."

One thing you didn't cover was how much light/sun they should get. I have seen some say to put them in a good lit area out of the sun like under a tree. I'm confused PLEASE HELP I am wanting to plant seeds for the cooler months
New gardener here….any seedlings containers that works best for vegetable seeds
Really appreciate the Natural background noise of the birds.
Thank You

Excellent guide!!!
13:30 NEVER DISCARD SEEDLING OR ANY PLANT, NOW IS THE CHANCE TO TRY EXPERIMENTS AND THINGS YOU WANT TO TRY : ) NO LOSS IF THEY DIE THEN
Great information, but have a question, before there is a plant, how often do you water the seeds before they pop.
Great tips 👍👍👍
mark, you are simply the best! searched for "starting vegetable seeds" bc this year I want to do it right (last year not so good ☠️). another video popped up first so I figured why not but closed it after 4+ mins and the guy was still talking about what he was going to teach 🙄. then ur video showed up a couple below that one. from start to finish ur video is packed with invaluable info.. ikr I should've just clicked on ur channel so it's my own fault 😂… but wow ur just the best in my book and lesson learned 👍🏼… now on to start some seeds… g'day 🫡
Can you do a video on avocado’s I haven’t seen any recent ones. Ty, appreciate your work.
thank you
Where abouts do you grow them sun exposure wise?
So much good information
What is the name of that dark green leaf tree please ?
I really think you should tattoo that thumb GREEN.
Get a dog .
my problem is the seeds sprout but then when you need to separate to create seedlings they die or dont grow strong. Im on the central coast ns
Feels like the dad/gramps I was never able to learn this from. I've had a severe punch in the gut screaming at me to start a garden lately. Thank you so much for all of your wisdom. I love your channel. I'm usually too lazy to give any thumbs ups even for my favorite youtubers but man, you really give that extra special touch 😅
I have grown tomatoes in rubbish soil and it's thriving
If you have a grow lamp and put it on seedlings… do you want, need to give them a rest at night? Or do you get more benefit by growing them 24 seven with the grow lamp also on at night? Hope someone might have some insight on this.
Yuma, AZ has a 356 day growing season!
You are the microclimate underneath my wing, bro. 😊
Hey where can I find that Seed Sowing chart of the best time to grow in the given geographic location im in?
Maybe its just too damn hot. This is pissing me off. The whole trays about to get thrown. Keep flopping over. Zone 6 in ohio.
I get them to germinate but struggle to get them past this stage. I don't have the money to just buy seedlings. I want to grow my vegi from seeds.
What are yam beans?
Thank you so much. I was wonder if I should wait until the first true leaves got bigger before separating the seedlings into individual trays pods. But your explanation of them being forgiving make sense as to why I should do it now.
What seed growing chart have you featured in this video Mark? Cheers.
Hi Mark, Love your videos. Im in Adelaide and just wondering have you had any success planting carrots into seedling containers and then transplanting into prepared soil
