Happy New Year, the Primavera, the Earth's regeneration. Welcome to spring, when everything cycles again in our mini-samsara here. The hills are lush, the park is blooming, and our garden patch, which used to look like carp now looks like a shiny goldfish all by itself. Bhumi/Gaia/Tierra knows what She's doing. Still, if we want to harvest what we like, we must sow it. It's simple karma: Our action will bring abundant reactions. So here are ten things to plant in every garden.

Self Sufficient Me is based on a small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland, Australia about 45 km north of Brisbane. The climate is subtropical (similar to Florida, USA). I started to write about Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a website project to document backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online. Cheers! Mark
