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 :)

Hey Mark, thanks for keeping this stay at home mom constantly inspired and motivated. We’re in the rural Appalachian mountains of Virginia and I’ve been revitalizing and restoring our family homestead. We’ve spent the spring building a raised bed veggie garden inspired by you, and fueled by your knowledge and positive attitude. Our property is HUGE and daunting. It’s far more overgrown than the beds in this video, and we’ve got morel mushrooms instead of pumpkins, but we’ve been really “getting into it” ;)

@Selfsufficientme 2 года назад

G'day Jennifer, as a stay at home dad for the past 14 years, I know how you feel! My advice is not to look at the big picture and instead divide your tasks or property into smaller projects and tackle them one at a time and this should make it less daunting. Glad that you are getting into it and all the best with your restoration! Cheers :)

Mother sent me this video of you she doesn’t know I watch your videos already but she sent it to me from Florida now that I’m up here in Tennessee since I was living down there just something to share with you family tradition of watching your videos

Hahaha, I am doing exactly the same thing. Fighting the overgrowth one area at a time. Today I discovered a bunch of garlic. Still have a long way to go. Tarantula and snake ran away. I am in Cusco, Peru.

We were starting to do the same thing and clear out our garden enough to rescue the last of our watermelons and zucchini. My garden is attached to my pig pen so we are going to open the gate and let the pigs clear out the garden once we are done for the year. We still have a bunch of pumpkins growing.
