I have been watching Mark's videos for a few years now and joined the forum a while back, but have not gotten around to participate on the forums - I plan to spend more time here, as there is so much that I can learn from the members here.
I live in Johannesburg, South Africa. We have a temperate climate, with hot summers tempered with summer rainfall and very mild winters, so I can grow most veggies pretty much throughout the year. I try to be as sufficient as possible in my urban environment , with the goal being to grow all my food, herbs and medicine. I have so far managed to grow enough of almost everything without having to purchase anything in the stores, except for potatoes and onions, but I aim to remedy that this year.
I mainly grow all my fruit, veggies, herbs and medicinal plants in containers on my patio, but will be planting my fruit trees out into a dedicated "fruit corner" in my garden this winter, once I have removed massive Agave plants, which currently occupy that space.
