I like collecting rare and unusual food plants but I don't just do it as a hobby rather it's a way to diversify and strengthen the environment around our home so that there's always something to eat. I start this video off in the vegetable garden planting corn and then we move onto fruiting trees and shrubs I have recently purchased and placed in various "gaps" around our property many of which are positioned next to ornamentals. Thank you for watching and also for your ongoing support of my channel.

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 SSM 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 :)
