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 :)
Mate i have to say its crazy watching your old videos when you were thinking about quiting. Youve done very well congratulations on the success and good on ya for sticking out through the tough times of little or no income. I can say im glad you did
Thanks mate. Yes I agree it is crazy now in hindsight but it was the support of the TH-cam gardening community (and also my family of course) who encouraged me to push on further and harder. I'm obviously glad I did and I plan to do my best in creating content that others enjoy for as long as possible. Cheers :)
. Mark, so glad you're here! Keep up the great content. You are appreciated . I personally get an extra smile from your accent, your obvious love of Nina and the boys and her shyness.
Thanks again.

@@Selfsufficientme Hello friend! I just want to thank you for not only the knowledge, but the companionship you have provided me through this pandemic.
I live in Oklahoma and my husband is immunocompromised. We just RECENTLY got our vaccines though!
Please know that you give this very "cool uncle" or "awesome friend's dad you want to have a beer with" vibe!
Which I think a LOT of folks need.
God bless you, and thank you for your service, in the field and on the TH-cams.
"Sheer exhaustion!" What a euphemism... cheers Mark!
Dead right with your seed usage. I was always too frugal with mine. Since harvesting my own seeds, I over sew and thin out. Works so much better than chasing the season when you don't get enough germinate. A tip that came from you. So cheers for that mate.
Bungers and Tom thumbs. Kids are just missing out on so much.
You just don't know how your videos have helped me with overcoming my sadness and depression. I finally resort to planting and eventually become more resourceful. I am hoping that one day I can also grow a plant from a seed. I have started growing chilli, onion, and okra but none of them yet have grown. I hope it doesn't die on me. But anyways, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am learning a lot from you. Please keep the videos coming.
EI I am so glad you are gardening and it is helping you in your tough times. Keep the faith. Don't give up! Even though it might be raining and storming in your life today, the sun WILL come out again.
My okra didn't do well this year. I only got enough to use for seed next year. It happens. Just a bad year. But you can bet I will not give up! 🤠 I hope you, too, keep trying. All the best to you. 🦋
Brother watching you struggle to say Anaheim was strangely wholesome. You’re channel is my go to for any homesteading needs. Keep up the good work!
Anaheim pronounced “Anna- hime” (like time) :-). Thanks for your gardening tips 🙏🏻
They look like Thai peppers though
Also mark you’re right, Anaheims are larger peppers typically used green, but they turn red. Typical thai chili’s turn red too, I don’t know what these may be, so many peppers out there.
From the city in Holland. The 101st Airborne went through there in WW2.
@@muzzleflash1 They are from Anaheim California. Not Holland. California is where they were first grown in large scale commercially.
@@muzzleflash1 it actually has nothing to do with the city in Holland but instead by German immigrants in the mid 1800s. The peppers are named for the city in California
Im in sydney, I find that chillies take FOREVER to establish when compared to other fruiting vegetables, but once they get going and have a few branches, ths flowers seem endless. :)
Say Anna Hime. And that looks like a tobacco chili's, or some kind of Thai chili. Anaheims are huge!
Try Tabasco not tobacco
@@tomtheplummer7322 Lolol, dang auto correct!! Lol
Slightly related, if you handle tobacco before touching chilli plants, always wash your hands first. You can pass on tobacco mosaic virus. Weird bit of info stored up there.
Agreed - definitely not an Anaheim, Those are big, dark green, glossy, flattish. Mild heat and LOTS of flavor.
{{CORRECTION- I mixed up my Anaheim s and my ANCHOS! the Anaheim are the light green as another poster notes. So many awesome chiles!}}
Maybe it's a birds eye chili?
Anaheim's are lime green and mild 8" long. I use them a lot diced up in soups like Albondigas (Mexican Meatball soup). Barb from California.
Me throwing down $300 at the nursery to make my barren patio feel lovely...
🥰Mark says I’m helping the local economy 🥰
Mark, have you tried companion planting garlic around your peppers? I started doing this last year, and I've found it keeps most of the bad bugs away. Similarly I plant onions with carrots as that keeps the carrot flies away. Oh, and definitely plant garlic & basil around tomatoes...you'll have the tastiest tomatoes ever.
I love how Aussie the accent is when pronouncing habanero is, it made my day
"No fuss and no muckin' about" -- you're my kind of gardener!
Hey Mark, remember me I changed my name from BURNER BURN to this now
I am a 13 year old gardener with my dad just to the south of Queensland in Logan
BTW love your vids I personally :) find it very helpful as I'm still young and still learning and never will stop learning
Im in logan too
You're just down the road... Great stuff SK! It's good to hear young people getting into gardening - skills for life - no doubt about it.
Never stop learning and experimenting, SK! I have been organic gardening for over 60 years, and still learn things every year. Us old persons often learn from the young when they discover new techniques. Even Mark is still learning! :-)
Lol
#stayup :)
I brought in Tabasco and Big Jim peppers for winter. The big Jim I had 9 peppers on I left for seeds. Collected them a couple days ago and ended up with a couple hundred seeds. I'm also keeping the Tabasco for seeds.
Yeah it’s sad kids can’t blow there thumbs off 😂😂😂👍 great video. We’ve recently purchased our first corrugated raised bed, sadly can’t get Birddies in the UK. I’m disabled and looking forward to getting stuck in. Thanks to you I’m proper inspired to go for it
You are an inspiration mate! Keep up the great work! I live in Alaska, so most of the time I live vicariously through your videos!😁 PS: It's pronounced Ana-Hime...Like Ana-Lime. lol
if you put chili peppers close together you get cross-pollination if you want to use the seeds for next year, they can be different, certainly year after year. Cool video Mark.
You are a joy and an inspiration to watch. Thanks for everything that your share with the world ♥️💚
Old video I know but get some lime sulphur to get rid of the broadmite that causes stunted new growth with curled sick leaves.
I've even seen nursery stock with it.
The broadmite are bad in my area of Brizzy.
I’m loving gardening vicariously through your channel when there’s nothing doing here in England ❤️
😂 at unfortunately kids won’t have the same opportunity to blow their thumbs off 🤣 I love it. Love from Idaho USA
Just found but one of my fave vids 👌👏👏👏
Chilli plants self pollenate, so you don’t need to worry about the netting. The wind should be enough to knock the pollen around.
Congrats on your 1 million!
You are super cool for supporting small businesses and promoting them. Good on you! :)
Best content to wake up to early this morning, enjoying with my tea. Thanks Mark!
Absolutely love your show mate, you've taught me so much.
Thanks Joe! :)
A trick you can try to improve the germination rate with chilli seeds, is to soak them in warm water for a day. With some varieties it's the difference between 0% and 95% rate. Awesome channel mate.
Great that the chicken was used. And got buried. Glad you put him to good use mark. Love your vids.
Mark! I love the show and you've got me gardening down in Texas. My wife of Mexican decent would want me to tell you that the word for chili is actually more like chile (chi-lay), but I'd rather you stick with chili so you can keep making those weather jokes.
G'day Stephen, thanks to you and your misses for that info! Cheers mate :)
Good day Mark, I'm I'm inland SoCal, I've been growing my own food on a very small piece of land and all organic, your show rocks, keep going.
"What do they call them 'chilis' for?"
This channel is amazing
The bright green spider was cool.
Dont worry Mark!2M would be easy for you to get!I love how you explain what you did thoroughly and how you gave me inspiration!You helped me so much that my garden is striving for the greater!I would be happy to share my crops produce with you because I doubt it would have even lived without you!Thanks For your great help Mark!Enjoy ur day! :)
Just found this channel and it's bloody awesome😎
Can't wait to be a gardener in quarantine 😋
We’d love to see you when this pandemic is done. You’re one of the best gardener we ever watch and funny! Good day Mark.
Perfect timing!! My little chilli plants have emerged in the pot I've started them all in and soon I'll be transplanting them out.
My chillies have started flowering i can't wait to try some
i think you might be right about those anaheim chilis, i recall anaheims being larger than jalapeños and light green
Hello Mark love the tomato videos me and my mum loving watching ur vids
G'day! That's great to hear and tomatoes are my favourite veggie/fruit too! Cheers :)
Yes!! I grew up in NT as well (Tiwi) I do miss firecracker day. Fond memories :)
You are hilarious, besides the great gardening and practical tips your channel is a must watch for me weekly. Thank you. 👍🏻
MARK!
Those habanero's you've got look F A N T A S T I C! Great job!!!! I'm so jealous. They look absolutely goregous. Also, I say it (when i'm imagining the phonetics of how you speak, how you'd say it) is "ANNA-hime"
Hi Mark, I live in Florida, and it is interesting to see how similar the things we can grow here are the same as where you live. Your videos are so inspiring, going out in my garden to plant more seeds right now!
Thank you for making this video brother the chillies will be great to use in many meals and the way you fixed the old garden bed up looks great. Take care and stay safe and keep up the great work God bless you and your family and friends peace be with you all.
Yeah, I should’ve made it myself. I need to go back and watch from the start. I love your channel. Now I can start from scratch :)
California native here. It's Ana (like the name) Hime (like lime.)
Your are a joy to watch and the vids are so educational. Your land is beautiful. Your ideas are so creative and thoughtful. I could go on and on, but this is one of my favorite gardening channels.
I live in South Africa.
I just leave all my pepper plants outside throughout Winter. It keeps producing in Winter, even though it does get quite cold. My pepper plants are going into their 3rd season, this year. Every year the production seems to get better.
I've been wanting to grow chilli's for some time now! Perfect timing
Hey from Texas. 👍Big thumbs up. I just plant garlic here😎
Me Too!! (Central Texas!)
I love watching this channel on the other side of the world! ♡
For the thousandth time here, I'm sure, Anaheim is pronounced Anna (with the A sound of lap not father) and hime, like time. Nice channel, mate, quite enjoyable. Hope you make the 2 million.
Congratulations on a million subscribers! You are a blessing!
Question?
Do you, when you get a fantastic looking fruit, split apart, dry and reuse?
Great video compilation.. love it.🥰😎
so funny to see nature in a complete different season. Cheers from Germany, Europe.
The hen sounds like me. I’m so dead. How did I miss this? Gosh I’m slow. And I’m exhausted too. I feel this on a soul deep level. 😂😂😂 I love you. No one makes me laugh this much Sunflower 🌻
saved my only pepper plant that made it through the summer. It's going to be huge by spring. It is in the kitchen right now.
Hi Mark, you don't need to pollinate them. I have a net over my chillies bed, never pollinate them and they never stop producing 🙂 A part of our QLD fruit fly, there are the birds which they will never leave them alone. Happy gardening 👍
Where I live (Norway), we refer to capsicums and chilies as ''Paprika'' for the ones with no heat or low heat (under 1000 scovilles), and ''chili'' for the hot ones.
As mentioned already, it is pronounced Anna hIIIIIIIIme. It is a type of green chili which I love to grow. This year, it was too hot with months of 110F/43C days this year in Tucson, AZ, USA, to have any of my chilis and peppers to set fruit. Now that it has cooled off I am finally getting some to set fruit. I'm going to try to overwinter my plants as we expect a warmer winter this year. Can't wait to see how yours do!
chili peppers are named after the country of origin where they were first discovered by the Spanish in the early 1600s namely chile.
the original Chilean wild peppers are small about the size and shape of a small cherry tomato they are very sweet and very hot if you go there you will see the native children eat them like candy, so heat in food really starts in the crib in chile!
“Sheer exhaustion.” 🤣
Lol... on my death certificate: “sheer exhaustion from dating. The poor girl just couldn’t take anymore...”
LOL I love the mini existential meltdown in the beginning
Wow! That's a crazy looking spider! I too use hay or straw as mulch. I love how it breaks down by end of summer and adds to the tilth of the soil. Yes i say hay. I know it gas seeds in it, but I put Preen on the dirt first so the seeds done germinate.
awesome! it is pepper planting time here in Northern California, thank you!!
I'm begging to think i need that shovel now, it looks so much easier and less stressful to use.
Not sure if it’s already been said, but Anaheim rhymes with “banana rhyme”
Thank you for the video, peppers seem to be the only thing I grow well haha
Thank you for being so inspiring!
"Ana-HIME'
Came here to say this too.
Anaheim, the city in California, sounds like ana-rhyme.
One more thing is kinda funny if you're interested in word spelling around the world.
Here in the United States when the things you're planting are written in the plural form, it looks the same as what y'all in Australia have written on that plant tag = Chillies.
But written in the singular form, only one L is used =
Chili
Why? Who knows?!!!
The English language!
It can be soooo confusing!!
And WHY DO THEY call them Chillies anyway???!
Maybe it's like when you name something the opposite of what it is? Just like when you have a very large friend called "Tiny Tim"?
Tiny Tim...
Does anybody remember Tiny Tim!?!
Not sure what made me think of THAT person! I was only a kid when he had his 15 minutes of fame!
What a weird blast from the past to jump into my brain!!
And what does Tiny Tim have to do with Chillies anyway??!!!
sheesh...
@@gardengatesopen chili comes from the Aztecan word chilê, meaning pepper or pod.
@@AraceaeFanatics ohhhhh.
Well, there ya go.
Thanks Paul! ♡
No! You added another syllable 😂It's just "Ana-hyme", "ana-hi-mmmm"
The duck and chicken story made me spit out my coffee I laughed that much
I like that your potting mix came from a pot.
LOL...
Anaheims are my favorites. The are rather large and harvested green. Excellent roasted on the BBQ
This channel should be called, "Let's see what I buried."
Today I hit one of my neighbours in my car, so I'm going to bury them beneath my chillis - in a raised garden bed of course; to see if it will give a better harvest :D self sufficient meeee
@@MaxFuckinFightmaster ha ha ha.... lmfao... 😆😆😅🤣😂 .... seriously rotf here!!!
@@MaxFuckinFightmaster ikr
cracked me up hahaha
LOL
And I live in QLD Australia
So do I RC. Lots of storms last weekend. I also follow a TH-cam channel about Homesteading in Alaska. Such a different lifestyle.
I live in CT USA. Hello for up over!
@@guidedandblessed Me too Redbank 😊
@@oliverclothesoff5397 Hi from Australia
I like that you still try to like some of your fans comments despite having a million subs, good guy and love you videos, at first I kinda wanted something like melvin wei from day 1 to harvest, but yours is also good i look forward to more.
Thank you! Yes, I wish I could answer everyone's comments but unfortunately, I simply don't have enough hours in a day to do that so I try to answer as many as possible because people use their valuable time to comment it's only right of me to try to answer them. Cheers :)
Anaheim: Anna-hime (like lime). Love your beautiful garden, Mark!
Ana hi m - is along Chile n can vary in heat. Eaten green n then let to go red and dry them, then ground into powder.
Great video sir, im opposite season so my assorted peppers are about to be dug up for inside overwintering
That was a wicked lookin lil spider at the beginning. Cool looking too.
Love your videos have my own garden and grow cherry tomatoes
Great stuff - I absolutely LOVE cherry tomatoes they are the easiest to grow out of all tomato varieties and I reckon the best tasting and make the best tomato sauce! Cheers :)
@@Selfsufficientme Thankyou so much and they are the best in tasting
Love watching your videos packed full of great tips, our chillies gave us wonderful supplies which l just freeze. Production has slowed, from watching one of your other videos l realized its probably time to plant new ones. As always thanks for sharing.😀
Was about to head off youtube and then I see an upload from you, thanks Mark! Haha.
Dang! I sure wish I could be growing chili peppers right now. My sweet bell is still alive, but it's too late for any new guys.
Great video Mark :)
@@markgolvani8469 thanks for the link Mark, and Mark Valencia for the channel ofc ;-) Im following the channel for a veryy long time now and I hadnt read the blog on the accident. Jeez Im even more proud of Mark Valencia now. I wonder what he said to the doc: "Just get into it!"? :-)
Same here Tyrian.
Thanks Tyrian! :)
Hi Mark - I'm a 'chilihead' so I'm SO jealous of your pepper planting! We are growing habanero, chocolate budlea, jalapeno, ornamental, etc. That pepper you asked about - it's named after Anaheim, CA - you pronounce it as Anna - hime (it rhymes with time)!
Anaheim (an + uh + hym) chiles do grow larger and are on the milder side. The have slightly more kick than bell peppers so they can still be used in salsas and are great cooked down with onions and garlic. The size and heat make them perfect for stuffing and are the go-to pepper for chiles rellenos. In America they are also knows as hatch peppers or New Mexico chiles which is actually where they originated from. They were brought to California in the late 1800s by the founder of the Ortega brand of Mexican products, Emilio Ortega.
You one of the reasons im moving to Australia,started the immigration process. id love to meet ya one day! keep the videos coming, they are great!
All the best with your move - there's plenty of room here that's for sure! Thank you! :)
I have a few jalapeno seedlings growing just hardening them then im planting them. Great video
Mark, you always crack me up mate.😄 Good on ya👍
Hahah i love hearing you try and pronounce anaheim.. the OG disneyland is in Anaheim CA. Also you can make some great salsa using roasted anaheims with a couple jalapenos or serranos for heat, onion, garlic, salt, and vinegar. Super simple but really tasty and one of my favorites. You're correct that they should be a larger chili, I get them in the 8-12" range from the market fairly regularly.
Yep. Looks like a bird’s eye. Anaheims are much a much larger pepper with a flavor between a bell and a poblano. They do eventually ripen to red, but they’re about 8 times larger than that before they start to turn.
Whiteflies- Try companion planting? There are many plants that repell pests too. Think 'mater, calendula or marigold, onion. Then do crop rotation, followed by every 7 th year letting the ground "rest"
i just planted some cayennes this afternoon, what a wonderful coincidence is to see this video!
You’re correct in thinking that’s not an Anaheim (spoken; Anna hime, like Anna time). Anaheim’s are definitely larger (15-20cm) and green. They’re mild and a favorite for making the Mexican dish, chile relleno.
The last part of 'anaheim' rhymes with 'time' or least it does in the Western US. Glad to see Aussie's aren't afraid to rock shorts above the knee. I get stares here in the US till I just say "rugby'.
i am so envious! zone 7b, pleasant weather, but summer is gone.
Sorry it sounded like I was being a smarty below but I wasn't as I love your channel & wouldn't miss one of your videos. Cheers Denise
Strong work my friend. Lol to burying dead Voodoo chicken!!
It's fall here in south west Florida so coming into our winter. My 2 cayenne pepper plants are loaded with peppers that just aren't turning red with our cooling weather. They have produced like crazy all summer, they are still doing so, just not turning red.
I wouldn't think that 4X4" post would need to go into the ground and I like your bug cover idea and might be handy for cold weather protection.
Always enjoy your teaching Sir
Yes that's right John, the posts in this bed were not buried/set into the ground they were placed at ground level and the sheeting screwed on. The frame could be used for cold and also shade cloth if required. Cheers :)
Anna-hime (long I)
I live a few miles from there, the town is where Disneyland is.. in the 1950s, the area was all farms and citrus groves including pepper farms.
Today its all city scape. Kinda sad but I guess thats southern california as a whole, great weather and fertile farm land brought people from all over the world to settle here.
Just what I was looking for. We live in the Far North of New Zealand & I’m just about to plant my chilli, capsicum, & egg plant seedlings out. ❤️
I am sure everyone else will do the same but it may be easier to say it, Ann-a-Hyme . Awesome content either way.
Down in SA we've had some weird cold and rainy weather for the time if year, God knows I needed some advice to keep the chillies alive!
