Most people assume you need a large rural property to grow a meaningful amount of your own food.
But I live just 10km from Brisbane city on a standard suburban block, with only around 120m² dedicated to growing food—and in this video I want to show you just how much you can actually grow in a small city garden.
I’ve got four raised garden beds, two border beds filled with fruit trees, and a mix of grow bags and containers that all work together to produce food year-round.
In my garden right now I’m growing broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, leeks, lettuce, and a huge variety of herbs like coriander, dill, thyme, oregano and sage—plus plenty of flowers that support pollinators and overall garden health.
Even though the space is small compared to what you often see online, the key is constant succession planting. As soon as something is harvested, I already have a seedling ready to take its place, keeping the garden productive at all times.
So far this year I’ve already harvested a huge amount of food including tomatoes, rockmelon, pumpkin, watermelon, dragon fruit, corn, lettuce, pak choi, herbs and much more.
I also grow fruit trees like mulberry, banana, avocado, citrus, mango, figs and more, which provide additional food throughout the year with very little ongoing effort once established.
For me, growing food isn’t about total self-sufficiency—it’s about producing as much as possible, reducing reliance on supermarkets, and enjoying fresh food straight from the garden.
Thanks for watching and being here—I really appreciate it 🌱
