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 :)

G'day Everyone! I tried to get this video uploaded yesterday but alas RUclips had other ideas and the upload failed for some reason... Anyway, here it is - thanks for your support :)
I wish I could visit. 😳😍😊
I really enjoyed watching. Making me feel so jealous 😣😍😊😂
Your videos made me start to plant my citrus plants still don't know what will happen. Coz it was from seeds and not grafted but I still pray to have a beatiful result. 😊
Thank You! Your videos make me feel like I've got a friend helping me out with my self-sufficient dream... all your efforts are greatly appreciated
Pomelo from Philippines especially from Davao is the variety you want to have. So juicy and sweet. 😊😊
Me: Man, it's really late, I should go to sleep.
Also me: clicks on 43 minute video of fruit trees.
Yup
Same same
I feel personal judged...
Fell asleep and wake up now! 🙃🤭
You are my spirit animal ❤
Your yard is what I passionately dream of having, or at least experiencing.

Your property is wonderful, I would love living on an having similar, nice to see the same ideas in action you have an is doing a wonderful job. We have many of those trees in the Caribbean. Wonderful keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos as well.
Your wife making a beeline for the fruit on that tree so reminded me of my two kids when they were small and we all lived in Brisbane. I had a pretty extensive vegetable garden that took up a lot of the back yard and most of the side yard. One year, I decided to plant peas and considering I had never tried this before, I was pretty happy to see three rows of peas growing like crazy. Then I made a fatal mistake - when the first pods appeared and began to mature, I showed my kids how to shell the pods and eat the peas, which were as sweet as sugar.
From that day onwards, every time I looked out of the kitchen window, I could just see two little blond heads down between the rows of peas, picking, shelling and gobbling peas as if they were never going to see them again! It's no exaggeration to say that not one of those pea pods came in through our back door and into a pot or the freezer. My kids ate the lot! I was going to put a stop to it, but then I thought it's better that they are outside in the fresh air and sunshine and eating the freshest food that anyone can get their hands on, so I let 'em go.
It's memories like that, that make me want to stir my creaky old bones and get another vegie garden on the go.
I did the same thing but with my strawberries. Most didn't even get to ripen all the way! My son made sure not even the birds would get one. :)
That's an adorable memory
Oh wow, that is such a lovely story.
@@nancyfehr2768 That's what happens to my strawberries. My one year old enjoy so much picking the tiny green ones and feed the flowers to my dogs. I finally decided to stop him when he finish with my strawberries and turn to my blueberries...
No matter WHAT the age, a WORTHY _GOAL_ achieved can bring ALL around us the JOY we seek to share ! TRULY the goal I had in mind. I was going to do it through Fruit and berries, but I think I'll ABSOLUTELY add SWEET PEAS to my next go ;=)) !
ALL the BEST to you and YOURS from Texas ! -

What a bloke, he just went around and identified everything with few mistakes! His knowledge of everything is out of this world!
As to "Out of THIS world" ... , I'll BET _I_ can guess what HE'LL be in charge of "on the other side" ;=) ! I look forward to seeing - and _enjoying_ the "fruits" of HIS Labors !

Who down likes this type of video..... At best it's very informative, at worst its relaxing watching. Thx Mark
I think some of those dislikes might be the RUclips algorithm, not sure why or how it works, but I have heard other youtubers talk about it.
Agree it may be the other you tubers. Y?
60 people who only eat hot dogs
i like to think they meant to hit the upvote but just went over a little to far
@RDLONG30 Sadly, that's all a lot of people can afford. Living in an apartment might be a convenient distance to their jobs. If they dream hard enough, and like the idea, they might someday find a way to have some property.
Can’t even imagine how you manage all that garden plus orchard, along side maintaining your channel, plus making your preserves, etc. and being a home Dad. And let’s not forget your fowl care!! Along with your super disposition on line, it’s all quite an impressive accomplishment. 👍🏻
I love his videos and a handful of other gardeners. I feel like the video portion would actually be helpful to remembering yourself where and what is growing and when work on each thing needs to be done. Especially on this scale. I have problems remembering everything I need to and I just have a few raised beds and a couple fruit trees.
I think he has workers LOL
I can't believe russel crowe is such a great gardener!
As a New Yorker, I've never heard of some of these fruits. You know what would be cool, if you install a little picture of the fruit up on the screen as you're naming them. Especially for the trees that are currently not producing. I loved laying here on a rainy day and just touring your forest with you.
you should fly a drone above your property to give us a better view of your trees and garden
im a new viewer and im curious if he has ever said how many acres he grows? surprisingly it seems like he is growing quite a ton of stuff on not many acres of land. i was always under the assumption that to have a 100+ tree orchard you'd need probably 10+ acres. it seems like in a backyard garden there is less worry of space between each tree like there would be in an orchard designed for maximum produce to get to market.
@@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem 3 Acres
"It looks a bit sick at the moment, but don't worry, it'll come good." HAHA Adorable
Alright, I'm no longer convinced this is just a garden, looking like a farm 🤣
Hi, for Custard Apple you're able to tell that it's ripe if it turns lighter green or has a yellowish tinge to the skin. You're also able to tell if it's ripe when it is a little bit soft because the fruit is hard if it still not ripe. We have lots of trees of custard apple in our backyard too. Thanks for the wonderful video!
A custard apple doesn't smell, or go soft on the tree, It will develop a creamy colour between the bumps on surface. Also the bumps will be fully formed. Pick them at this stage and they will soften in a few days time.
true, you can tell by the bumps on surface of custard apple if they are ready to pick is when the big bumps are far from each other creamy lite green color.
Custard Apple @ 35:14 , the fruit looks like a Cherimoya . Do they taste about the same?
@@richardmang2558 cherimoya is cross over apple custard and soursop fruit or guyabano
@@richardmang2558 I'm sorry, I've never tasted a Cherimoya. :)
@@richardmang2558 In Australia what we call Custard Apple is actually an Atemoya, it is the only form available commercially here, we dont have Custard Apple or Cherymoya unless you grow them yourself. Also an Atemoya is a cross between a Custard Apple and a Cherymoya.
I didn’t know you could plant all those fruit trees so close together! I’m jealous. Trying to get my husband to let me have a little orchard of my own.
is it truly going to be yours or "ours" and, and...lol
@@victorhorn1576 mine. 😉
Yeah, my Wife has bout into MY dream, and we're planning something _modest_ but worthwhile, together .
" I don't like it much and neither does the fam, but I tell you what it does do....make a fantastic jam!!" :) Great videos mate, learning a lot, KEEP it going!
Wow! I had no idea that there were so many fruit trees native to Australia. Pretty cool. Wish we had them here. We do have the laundry tree in Canada too though. LOL!
Coming from Hawaii in the 808, I am blown away by those banana and everything. Awesome freakin awesome
🤙🏽
If you ever need an hermit, I'll happily live in your garden 😂
Lol come live in mine haha..
You are a breath of fresh air MArk. Love your vids.
damn, you're ready for the apocalypse, no chance of starving here lol
Neighbors might get nosy lol

Now he needs ammunition and guns lol
@@MauiGecko If only its not that easy to get legal fire arms here in Australia not like the USA
@@Nightflyer76 I didnt know that. Sorry. Didnt mean to be ignorant. Well I'd give up some firearms to have agriculture and land like his! Damn hard work he put into all of it!
As a northern North American where 1/2 of the year is too cold to grow anything, looking at how these sub-tropical trees are grown is honestly fascinating to me. No chill hour-needing trees here!
You get the best Apple and stone fruit up north. Plus the currants and berries options are phenomenal!
@@TaureanDreams you are correct about the berries...I live in southern Ont. Canada and have a great big raspberry patch that is my hobby to grow and get berries for all my friends ,, and family.
Have you thought about planting a moringa tree? I've always been able to grow plants of all kings when I lived in california. However now I live in utah with the fold winters (snow ) and I run my business of pet grooming and boarding on my property next to my home. So I work more often then not. However I will soon be 66 years and would love to retire and go back to the earth n gardens like I love. 3 years ago I married a tongan man. He wants us to move to tonga but I am not to sure how that will go. I do love the thought of the fertil grounds and being able to grow my gardens once again. All of my vegie herbs spices and all of the fruit trees. All of the gardens that I was once able to do in california USA. Although In tonga there are so many more trees that i could grow that I was
unable to do in california soils. Maybe this is why I have really enjoyed your segments so much. I've always wanted to go to Australia for a visit.. have you ever thought about the something apple that they can get in tonga n Hawaii. I cant quite remember the name. The Indian apple? It is very large with white fruit and a bunch of blk seeds within it. The green skin has like little spurs poking out all over the skin. The skin turns brown when it is fully ripened. I love it. So good.
I was surprised to see you didn’t have a jackfruit or a kiwi. Amazing collection, though. So jealous!
Jessica Green haha I just made a similar comment
I have a jackfruit tree, but no kiwis (I don't care for them).
💚
Yeah surprised as well
I'm jelly too! I have gynura procumbens, ashitaba, elderberry, 1 white grapefruit, 2 young grapefruit, a meiwa kumwuat, 2 dwarf mulberry, 1 tahiti lime, 1 celeste fig (neighbor has brown turkey), 3 banana plants(not really growing or producing), blackberries, strawberries, purple tree collards, papaya(not fruiting), 1 olive tree, 1 floridaqueen peach (going to add more soon)! Jaboticaba is on my wish list.
@@Jpow915 where do you live in your magical garden?
the beauty of the land down under! where fruits do grow and men crop them!
You're probably having difficulty with Colin Hayes of Men At Work's Scottish accent but he sings...I come from the land down under, where women glow and men chunder.
@@organicox80 I'm having trouble alright! xD

RDLONG30 isnt always a choice bud
@RDLONG30 Yup, 100% a troll.
When I buy the custard apples they are quite firm. I leave on the bench for a couple days until they're a little softer than an avocado that is ready. Thank you for inspiring me to start gardening again in containers in my villa. Also I'm passing your links to my son who has some mental issues normally and now trying to cope after threw
a divorce and he is renting. But there happens to be a tiny bit of land opposite that isn't being used. He does love nature. I'm sending him over to ask if he can use it and provide them with produce. Fingers crossed!
Thanks Mark for sharing your experiences in growing 140+ different types of fruit trees on 3 acres.
Custard apples are plucked when they are still hard. The mature fruits are slightly less green in colour. You may notice very small granular designs on the outer skin. The mature plucked fruits are kept in a basket covered with straw or coarse cloth. In a week's time the fruits are soft and ripe for eating.
In South India we also have a larger variety which is called Hanuman Phala. Inside the seed and flesh is the same.
Another relative of this fruit is the Ramphal. It has a smooth skin and is yellow with a patch of red. Grows up to 750 grams.
The Soursops or Lakshman Phala is a green fruit with soft spikes. Upto 750 grams. The fruit is 2000% better than anti-cancer drugs. It's a costly fruit. Can be easily grown from seeds, which look like custard apple seeds. The flesh is sweet and sour in taste.
The above trees are similar and even the leaves are similar.
@35:40
Concerning the Custard Apple, when you touched it, I can tell it's still not ripe yet.
It's still super hard and have awhile to go before it ripen.
It will get softer once it's ripe. When you press your thumb on it, the fruit will "give" and that's when you know it's ripen.
If you pick it too soon, while unripe, you can bury it in a bag of dry rice and wait 5 to 7 days, and it will ripen. Ready to eat.
Custard Apple is a tropical fruits that is grown quite alot in Thailand.
I live in Las Vegas (The desert) and I still grow tropical fruit trees. Lol
Excellent! Thanks Terrie! Yes, it is still really hard to squeeze just ATM so I will wait a little longer then. I didn't know that they ripened well off the tree either - cool. Cheers :)
@@Selfsufficientme
I love your long videos and I envy your large backyard.
My backyard is small, hopefully in future I'll have money to buy a bigger property with a spacious yard like yours. I'm super envious. Lol
Your long videos are the best.
I don't even noticed the time when watching one of your videos. Love it!👍👍👍
You are such an inspiration. When I started growing things I never thought it would turn into the passion I have now. Watching your videos motivates me even more to keep growing things. Keep up the good work.
Guys like this put preppers to shame haha. This guy will NEVER starve!
Great tour. I'd love to see what you pull in per day, or per week, in harvest. Would be great to see for each season.
That would be an excellent video! Second this request.
incredible of how many different types of fruit there actually is.
I love the way you talk about your wife . Your family is so lucky . I am too, my husband is wonderful as well. Beautiful souls ❤️
Mark, we need a revisit of your fruit tree tour! A lot can happen in 2 years
I have a small Buddha’s Hand tree in my backyard here in California. It has 5 “hands” growing right now for the first time. A very interesting citrus for sure!
Buddha's Hand @ 10:38 . The fruit smells soooo good! They make wonderful candied lemon peel. Strange citrus that is 100% peel with no juicy center. My tree is very small and I have gotten one "Hand" per year for the last three years. Trying to get it to grow with some of the neighbors horse manure and monthly light applications of Triple 15 Fertilizer and recently a thick layer mulch delivered by some local tree trimmers.
The mango tree Omg can't wait to see them having a fruits
Custard apples (cherimoyas) are riped when they have a sweet aroma (similar to jackfruits give sweet aroma when they ripen) the skin starts separating and gets darker, and the fruits pull back from the stems. Custard apples, wax apples, mangosteens, rambutans, sapotes and longans are my favorite fruits. Those are the fruits I remembered we grew back in Asia growing up. But we live in thw US now and we are lucky to grow apples here because of the region:(
Notice how gardeners touch their plants with such adorning care...
So glad I found your channel! I'm from Samford QLD and 6 months ago moved to NJ, USA. Missing Aus but enjoy watching from afar! Your property is incredible!
Omg i love samford why would you move! Lol ive lived in lots of places around southern qld and in a few other areas in victoria gotta say theres no place like queensland. If you feel homesick you can listen to i still call australia home 😊😊😊
Lol welcome to NJ
Beautiful ! You have your own garden of Eden there ! I love it. You will never go hungry for sure !
I pick the custard apple when the eyes look expanded. The fruit is not soft yet when I pick it up because the birds love them. So I let it soften on the shelf for 2 to 3 days max.
Hi! Excuz me my bas english, I'm French! You have got a beautifull garden/forest. Many differents fruits. Very interesting, congratulations!
bad english
Dude your voice is butter and your garden is gold. make more content. i need more 43 minute videos! :)
Lord Kek - Agreed! ☀️ 🌱
I never expected you had this many trees, very impressive :)
Love your vids, keep 'em coming.
Mark this is such a cool video. I've watched it so many times at this point. I watch it when I want to watch gardening videos and be chill. Its so inspiring to see so many plants that provide for you. I think it'd be awesome if you upload another part to this that shows the rest that you say you didn't have time for here. Thanks for spreading optimism.
I know your video is a year old, but very new to me. I’d like to Thank You so very much for taking time to share this valuable information with us! Thank You!!!
My favourite, your fruit forest...love it. I started mine after watching yours growing over the years. With soursops/custardapple, pick the mature fruit and ripen it indoors. Don't press the fruit on the tree it will bruise it. To pick ripen soursop, the fruit either cracks or it will fall to the ground. You will also smell its yumminess :)
I have extreme fruit tree envy. What a gorgeous orchard and garden, thank you for putting all their names on screen. I hadn’t even heard of some of these! What a treat
You should put small posts for each tree/plant saying what they are, like a museum!
Mark reminds me of a peaceful Alex Jones and the crocodile dundee gardener of Australia! I love you and your channel! I'm starting my garden on the other side of the world for the first time this year. You are an inspiration and a blessing to us all!
maybe try growing an avo tree in or near the chook pen. I used to work on an organic avo farm and the avo trees in the chook pen were massive and produced A TON :) of gigantic fruit. at least double the fruit quantity of the regular avo trees. great video!
What is a cook pen?
@@MsBillionaire1989 chicken coop
@@MsBillionaire1989 chook like the sound chickens make. The Australian's love to give things names like that. I have friends in Oz that tought me a lot of the lingo. I remember one time, I was working a magic show with a magician friend from Oz and at one point one of the assistants came back stage and yelled "THERE IS NO TETXTER ON STAGE!" I said "What??" He said it again, finely he said "Sharpie! There isn't a Sharpie on stage!" I then knew what he was talking about. There was supposed to be a Sharpie marker on stage. Later on he told me that "the best way to get in a fight in Australia was to call someone a sharpie." So they call them "Texters".... I never did get to understand what was so bad about being called a sharpie... but yea they name things by what they do or in the case of chickens the sound they make.
@@paulesterline5714 haha that's the firsy time I've heard of a sharpie being an insult and I'm Aussie. Old mate's probably pulling your leg
@@Shtave3 hmmmm I knew the guy pretty well, and I usally have a real good BS meter. He could have been working one over on me... could it be regional? What does it mean to you?
Pomelo makes a fantastic candied peel. I'd grow it for that reason alone if I could.
Beautiful garden! Thanks for the tour.
As a budding Horticulturist, i value your knowledge on plant life. Thankyou.
Wow, I love the layout. I can't imagine how much maintenance goes into it.
You should try to graft multi fruits in one tree to save space or just as an experiment. But you have to graft the fruits in the same family. I've tried it on my Asian pear trees and I get 3 different types on one tree.
Mark, your videos got me to start a container garden this year after giving up a few years back. The blood and bone mix you suggest, I replaced with a manufactured compost fertilizer that uses “eco scraps”. That plus some mushroom compost turned in has produced amazing results with my herbs. Thanks a bunch mate! Cheers :)
Great stuff! Top idea too, cheers :)
I have a home garden in sub tropic area is south Florida and i was wondering if you have ever grown Malay Rose apple tree and how to grow it .because i watch your channel mostly on every thing i grow . Got to say thanks for a lot of insight
I love your videos. You are personable and informative, and a pleasure to watch. Thank you.🌸
Would love to see an update of how your fruit/etc trees/bushes are doing since there were newer plantings in this video :)
Gday Mark, a few trees worth considering for your area. Loganberry tree which is like a Lychee tree, it does well here in Northern NSW, it can handle cooler weather than the Lychee and its just as delicious. Achacha which is like a slightly sourer flavoured Mangosteen and doesnt necessary require a full tropical environment like the Mangosteen, delicious! Did you have tropical pears covered? They benefit from a trellis. Chestnut trees also seem to be doing surprisingly well here, we have 5 of the buggers which produce a large amount of chestnuts for roasting on an open fire. J
You're living my dream.
He’s actually living the dream of 99% of all human beings.
Man, it's a dream of mine to live like this. Big inspiration!
Just thought I would let you know, I find your videos very informative and pleasant, and I think you should have a series on TV to make people aware how self sufficient we really can be.
You have a big area to plant for and it's good for you who loved most on gardening.Nothing compares to your own garden
More taste testing videos please. I like to see how each plant tastes, grows and how you use them.
You have a beautiful garden and beautiful trees like them all 😍😍👌🏼👍🏼
@RDLONG30 I know people can be weird 😅 but it's probably because there work is near by or they can't afford a house with a garden
@RDLONG30 Troll
Mark been following you for a while. I wouldn’t mind seeing how you set up your water storage and irrigation and knowing how much you use from rain and mains. I think a video on water / irrigation would be very interesting
30:10 Had a big Loquat tree behind the house where I grew up here in Texas. They taste so good. We call them Japanese Plums.
You've got Yuzu!!!!??? That's amazing! It took me months to get a few seeds imported, and they basically cost me my soul! But definitely the most delicious citrus I've ever tasted, so totally worth it
Are you in Australia?
A lot of fruit trees need another 1-2 nearby so the pollen can cross distribute - are these all specimens that can grow solo?
Also, watching through the whole video.. what an expansive and inspiring display you have there. Just great stuff.
This is about as close as you get to heaven, being able to eat whatever you want and it came from your hard work
You are a fountain of information and inspiration! thanks from Philly, USA
Thank you for taking the time to take film a full tour of your amazing Eden. My partner and I have a property on the Goldie and the same dream, so we're slowly getting there tree by tree. You're videos are inspiring, very informative and you have a fantastic way of explaining things. Have a great day and again thank you! P.S can't wait for a spring tour :)
Great video! Would love a "how to grow a ton of mangoes" video with details on the varieties that you grow, what kind of yields you get, pest / disease issues, and tips and tricks on how to grow the fruit. Your trees are beautiful!
Be careful what you wish for.
My mango tree put out so much fruit this year that many branches couldn't handle the weight and broke off.
@@downandoutinparadisepanama1936 is it still have a lot of fruit?
Hi Mark,
I'd love to see another updated video like this again for 2022/2023
You have so many trees and there all so beautiful!! I'm really inspired by your garden and you, keep up the good work mate.
You are really blessed you have good space for garden. :-) keep up
Wish I could go there and visit. I learn so much from your videos 😊😊
wow how do you remember each type of tree you have?? I have a hard time remembering what type of tomatoe plant I have, and I only have 3...hahaha...good video, loved every minute of it....
The custard apple changes its color greenish to dark greenish with black spots and the hardness goes away. Also you can pluck at this size( in video) cover it in newspaper and keep it in warm n dry place they are ready to eat after 2-3 days.. They develop cracks n smell quite sweet when ready to be eaten.
Hi, your fruit tree garden looks great. I would love to know on a large scale like yours how you keep all the grass from growing into your garden beds? Cheers and love all your Videos 🤩
Best channel on RUclips. So inspiring.
happy place
lovely as ever, Mark! i can’t see enough of it!
WOW! That's a lot of fruit trees! A blessing to be able to have such a beautiful food forest! :-)
custard apple feels softer when it ripens. also slight change to yellow-green
Cheers for the vid, man i can only dream of having something like this when I buy my first home.
Mega jealous of what you have, thanks again for making it all.
Wow, an amazing tour of an amazing orchard! Thanks for taking the time to show us everything!
You should do a live Q&A. Love your videos.
An update on the garden would be great! I’m especially interested in the finger lime.. thinking about growing one where I am in Melbourne
Happy Australia Day, thanks for the video.
Good work Mark , love your efforts in planting and growing... 👍
Dude! What an amazing patch you have going! I'm in awe, and hopefully inspired. I'd love to have a setup half as varied and productive as that. Living in Michigan, I'll have to pick different plants, but I love what you've done with all the fruit trees. I'd love to see a video of your picks of low maintenance edibles. I'm planning on having an uncontrollable fartichoke patch in my side yard someday. Thanks!
Wow, you can grow everything in Australia.
What a tour, man! Congratulations!
The custard apple goes a little softer. I have childhood memories of eating them. So 😋 sweet...
Thanks for the guided tour. Very interesting and large collection of fruit trees, etc. Which direction is "the Left Side" - North, South, East, or West? Every time I turn, my "left" changes! Thanks! :-D You've got a wonderful array of bush tucker, and a beautiful garden! P.S. When I was younger, I lived and worked in Papua New Guinea, and I'll never forget some of the fruit I encountered there! The wide variety of bananas, papayas, guavas, etc. But, your grapefruit brought back memories of one especially fantastic grapefruit that was red like the reo red grapefruit. It was on Manus Island, in Sou (Northern side & middle of the island, where I was staying with friends.) The people were kind enough to let me have one of the fruits from their "gaden" in the bush. It was about as big as a basket ball, (I'm not exaggerating), and so juicy! I'd love to have a tree like that one must have been! Also, I lived 9 years in Argentina, and there were a lot of interesting fruits there - nispero (loquat fruit), and I had lemons, navel oranges, kumquats, pomelo, and jasmine ornamental bushes. One I'd love to see is the guaraná (from Brazil)! Thanks for the tour!
Hey lemon myrtle is a native bush tucker to subtropical central QLD it smell beautiful it is edible, mosquito repellent and has anti inflammatory properties. You should get it
Yes we do have a few small trees thank you 🙂👍
I'm late to your epic adventure, we love your channel
This is just what I needed to watch today. So good for the soul. Thanks mate :) I can't wait to build what you have
Citrus have some of the best smelling flowers.
Long ago I was hiking in Azusa Ca. came across several avocado trees still alive from an old orchard. One was loaded with fruit, they were small, round with very small seed. And tasted like a good Haas. From memory I think they were Mexican Plum. Tree was only about 15 feet tall.
I know about Azusa..cool! Started an avocado, friend says you need 3 for them to produce...but years to get any but his has fruit, interesting.
Hey mark love to see a garden update like a full tour :)
Beautiful video! Loved watching your garden and the trees. Amazing!!! Looking forward to seeing future videos. :)
