- This is one of the toughest but tastiest plants you can grow in the home garden! I personally think this food crop is a must in the vegetable patch!

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 :)
You are the reason why I started my own veggie garden.
Mark you could sell ice to Eskimos. Every one of your videos brings a new idea or variation of growing something.
Thanks Tim! Cheers mate 🙂👍
Yeah, but it's like dating advice from dudes in NYC. There's so many women that any man can get a date. This 5 acres is in a Florida climate, and when there's a place so green there's usually a reason = it rains and it's humid and warm. Try growing stuff in a place where it don't rain, hot & dry summer, bitter cold winters, and soil like concrete
@@pappyfiddle Every region has it's challenges, I am >1000kms south of Mark, but I can still grow this. Mark has to irrigate his property, this is Australia, we lurch between droughts and flooding rain. Mark has a video about what happened to his garden when he went on holidays and had the irrigation turned off.
I don't know... I'm in Florida. That rain and humidity brings lots of disease. The heat just melts almost everything in summer 🤷♀️

I live in the Abruzzo region of Italy and this stuff is so prolific here that it even grows on the side of the road. I eat gobs of it every day. I have 8 plants going but while I’m waiting for them to mature, I’m foraging most of it right now. It never stops. This is one of the most kick ass hearty plants I’ve ever seen. All year it’s giving you something.
Does it grow from seed or cuttings?

Gardening tips and recipes. Wow. Can't wait for the next one. Please tell your wife she did a great job.
These gardening videos give me a smile at the end of a stressful day in the urban jungle.
I finally got some to establish itself in my garden. It stayed small forever, but then took off over the winter.
Love your greens
Really liked how you (your wife) used her hands in making the quiche. Best kitchen utensils going 🤲
that recipe looks delicious; maybe I can use it to fool my kid into eating something nutritious!!! :D
As long as they're clean, hands are the best thing going, and easier to wash than utensils lol
@@ChickensAndGardening I add pureed zucchini to spaghetti sauce and also in the place of water or liquids in brownies, pancakes, sweetbreads. Grandkids gobble it down...even the picky ones!👵😊
I really learned something here! I had not heard of this plant before. My problem has been the very quick bolting of my greens. Because of space limitations I have been doing "bucket" gardening wherein the 5 gallon buckets on recycled pallets on top of recycled patio tables serve as my raised beds. Relatively good results for tomatoes and peppers but my greens only last a few weeks before bolting to seed. So, this spinich looks to be an answer! Thanks again, and as always KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!
You never need to boil greens or other brassicas. Just chop and add to a pan with a splash of olive oil and garlic salt and a sprinkle of water. Cook on medium heat for a few mins but watch it. The veg should be steamed nicely in its own juices.
i love growing that spinach, it's so easy to grow.
Pastry crust on the bottom and add some fresh minced garlic and you have a CHAMPION.
I’ve never heard of perpetual spinach before. Thank you for the tip. I’ll be looking for some seed to start my own.
You will find the seeds being called Leaf Beet or Leafy Beet as well as Perpetual Spinach, or even Spinach Beet.
Mate I noticed you've got quite a large block of store bought butter there! You should culture your own, it only requires heavy cream, buttermilk and two days of your time, and it's one of the most satisfying things I've learned to make recently :)
Quite the dramatic music for spinach cooking!
My wife just started making a dish very similar with spinach and bacon bits but she used mini-muffin bake pans. You can freeze them and reheat 3 or 4 for breakfast. Yours looked delicious!!
I like the use of hands for mixing.
Bought these seeds at Bunnings after watching one of your older 5 veggies to grow in summer videos.
Waiting for my silverbeet 🥬 to die so I can try it. Although after planting 50 silverbeet in one 1mx2m garden we might be over spinach 🤣
Hahaha, sounds like they’ve grow almost too well. A tip someone gave me was to blanch the leaves, dry them then freeze them. Just thought you may be interested. Happy gardening
Could you do some videos on how to store, dry, preserve stuff from your amazing garden? Such as how to dry and store herbs if we have an over abundance. How to keep our produce fresh as long as possible.

Please more cooking the veggies. This is very helpful as well as the gardening and growing tips. Veggie storage and persevered like picking and canning too.
Hello from Florida, USA. We are learning so much from you. Thank you for all you do!!
Yes indeed we are! Thanks Mark
You’re doing some great work brother! You make me smile and feel happier with the empowering info you give freely to the world. I wish you were my next door neighbour.
Thanks Kevin, I appreciate your kind support mate 🙂👍
Congratulations on your over 400'000 subscribers! Have been here for quite some time, good to see you growing!
Thanks Stefan! I appreciate your support 🙂👍
thanks for the tips...I also add garlic to my spin & ricotta quiche
Hadn't heard of that type of spinach. Thank you
I’m growing perpetual spinach here in Bristol England, it’s in its second year, lovely taste
You make your Quiche like I make my breakfast bars, that I sometimes sell. People love them!
Almost exactly a year after this video, I've picked up a perpetual spinach plant and just wanted to know the basics of how to make it thrive, and here you are with exactly the info I need. What a legend
Never heard of it! My kind of plant. Ordering seeds this week!
It was a mystery to me- until now. Thanks for the knowledge!
A number of people have asked for the botanical name. Please provide that. It would clear up the confusion & misinformation of a number of comments. Thank you! I love your enthusiasm!
Wow, this looks so awesome! I can’t wait to plant this and try the recipe. Shows more videos like this. Your awesome! Thanks for the inspiration. 😊
Mark you're having fun with the background music!
I am so glad I found your channel.. I am a vegetable garden freak.. love gardening.. Good day mate from Palm Springs, California...
That quiche looks awesome.
Good to see good Aussie Western Star butter being used. Not quite obvious product placement, but those of us who know good butters, recognised the packaging.
Im growing the perpetual spinach. We have been eaten so much of it for years. I make spinach rolls stuffed with rice and mince meat. It really is delicious
i love the added sound
Only found this guy last week and I’ve watched most of his vids!! ⭐️💟🌈 excellent advice and tips for veggie growing!
You can't beat spinach, my favourite leafy green, I use it in all sorts including my home made veggie sausages.
Love the music getting you ready for the action scene. Chopping time.
Perpetual spinach is one of my favorite greens to grow!
I tried this species of chard after watching your video last spring. The plants lasted through the over 100 deg. F. summer here in south Texas and now are doing very well this winter. thanks
What species of chard? Please and thanks
Perfect ingredient for spanikopita
Thanks for the bonus recipe. Can grow half this stuff but got no idea how to use it. Sure beats boiling it in a pot. Keep up the great videos.
A crustless quiche.... why not?! Looks fab.
Delicious looking recipe and excellent plant. Thanks. So nice to see Australian gardening content as not everything from the US is relevant to us.
I grew this stuff from seed for the first time this year, thanks to this video! Today I harvested leaves for the first time, and tonight's dinner will be perpetual spinach and feta quiche!
The recipe was a nice addition to the video
Just got my seeds. Planting them this week.
Look and see the world through her eyes...
amazing
Thank you for the masterclass
Awesome! Been growing it for a while too! Hope you’re enjoying the holiday! Congrats on 400K Subs 🤗
Picking that spinach sounds so good
Great Video Mate !! I have never tried this !! Something new to Plant this year !! Thank you for sharing !!
Never knew about it but yes I have ordered seeds.thanks
I absolutely love watching your videos, you're so enthusiastic and happy to share information!! Thank you for sharing, and your suggestions are VERY well noted for future reference!!
Thanks Seth! 🙂👍
😊👵👍
Loved the bonus recipe! Real food!
I'm growing the perennial spinach this year for the first time, it's growing, but no crop this year, but I have high hopes for the future, I'm told it's a climber, but i don't know yet, I hope I'm not too old enjoy it's bounty.
Hi Kath. If it's got leaves on it, it's ready to eat. Cut two or three leaves from each plant. It is definitely not a climber.
Good day mate! Love your new video mate! Keep your recipes few ingredients and simple.
Best wishes to you and your family.
In Bengali we call it 'Lai Shaak'. Very popular in Pretty much everywhere.
That recipe looks good. I do the same thing with spinach, mustard, kale, turnip, collard, radish greens. But fry the eggs and cheese instead. Thanks for the video.
It was a mystery to me, thank you.
Darn it! Now I'm hungry!😉😁
Me too.

;)
That recipe is sort of like our Bosnian Zeljenica but we make a phyllo like dough and either roll it or layer it. That simple version you did does exist, but we also add corn flower to it if we do it that way.
Nice tips and the cooking was great mate
G'day Mark, Damien from Brisbane here. Followed your recipe tonight, although i did add Mizuna, Rocket and shallots which i had in abundance after the rain last week. It was great. My girlfriend loved it also. Thanks mate
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know Damien 👍
Thanks for sharing. God's blessings always. Hallelujah Grace Shalom
I always make frittata with anything in my garden, it’s incredibly satisfying and tasty!
Love the videos. Some more peaceful or happy music would be nice since I watch your videos to relax at night, but they're fantastic either way.
Big green thumbs up Mark! And next year I'm growing some so I can clickety-click the stalks as you do! Thanks for sharing your yummy recipe too, and blessings to you and your family! I always enjoy your videos and great attitude and personality. Your place is so lovely too.🙏👵🐕🌺👍
Thanks Melody! 🙂
Nice to see Russell Crowe has been eating well after the Gladiator movie.
@LagiNaLangAko23 lol not until you just brought it up .... ty for that :)
That is hilarious! 😂
😂🤣😂
Damn that's
funny
You have been a great help with my garden and I am very thankful
mate i just saw this plant in the store and wondered if it was any good. I haven't watched in a while and this was a great episode to come back to!
Love it, thank you for sharing. I think I would have to grow this one in a bucket for it to survive in Central SW Florida. The ground is saturated with water, endless rain for days with no end in sight and temps at 100 degrees. I wish I was in your winter right now, hot, humid, soaking wet and still raining. Looking forward to your next video. God Bless Florida Girl.
Its a wonderful plant! When i had rabbits I grew like 5 of these plants to give the buns a treat.
LOOOOVE the cooking bonus, quick and easy, "awesome"..., make more of these please.
Love your videos, five stars. Thanks.
OK, I am going to plant perpetual Spinach this spring! I am convinced!
Best ever. ( I always comment on your vids for the algorithms) you deserve more views
Great looking quiches Mark👍👍
I didn't know, thanks for further educating me.
When the music started I was searching my entire computer... Where is that coming from. I have watched so many of your videos that I didn't expect it and until I paused the video I couldn't tell.... lol
That looks delicious and I would eat that all the time!!!
Din Din's have not heard that for ages! Will start growing this, thanks for the video.
Fantastic plant I started to grow it this year from seed and love it bonus because my son eats it too ❤
thanks for the cooking section. so often I'm introduced to new veges and don't know what to do with them. like parsnips, I didn't grow up with parsnips on the table and if they taste like a radish I won't like it. but i love horseradish with seafood or roast beast.
I got my two shirts I ordered and am so impressed with the quality! They are really well made and I LOVE THEM! Thank you!
Thanks for showing how to strain manure fertiliser.
I grow rainbow chard and it is very similar to your version of chard. Here in Las Vegas (USDA 9b) it is a perennial. I am on my 3rd year and while it is not the best tasting green it is great for stir fry and soups and best of all it takes the 110+ degree temperatures in stride.
I love watching this channel grow. You content is so good. Hoping to see 1 million+ subs by the end of the year. You deserve every click you get.
Never even heard of this plant, so thanks!
Love your videos. I learn something new in each one. You are super awesome!
Looks delicious Mark
love your videos, I will be ordering seeds this week . I also purchased some Egyptian spinach for this year. Thanks Tom
Ohhh I love spinach and grow tones of it for all the family and all my animals it's an amazing plant
I'm hoping by next spring or at least next fall hopefully that I'll have my square foot gardening going still got a lot of planning to do and watching people like you has given me a lot of ideas of course being a truck driver in the states I'm going to have to make a lot of my guarding automated
Best of luck with your garden and let me assure you that a reasonable sized food garden requires less work than most people think once set up 🙂👍
Thanks Mark, I went to my local nursery and ordered perpetual a spinach plant.
I’ve been veggie gardening in Victoria for years but never heard of it, so thanks again. Cheryle
Thank you for your recipes!Yummmmmm!!!!
Hi Mark, Just wanted to say you are appreciated. Thank you for all your video's. Always very informative and entertaining.
Thank you for taking the time to say so and for inspiring me to keep creating 🙂👍
Hey Mark I'm from Western Australia and love watching your videos, would you be able to make a how to grow a ton of watermelon video that would be awesome. Thanks mate😁
