What did we get ourselves into?

This is our first crack at a blog - be patient with us!

The Lazy Gardener is our hobby/business. We are Lynn and Dave Wilson from the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory http://www.tyendinaga.net/history/ near Belleville Ontario Canada. Our gardening hobby somehow took off. We are not really sure how it all happened or where it is going. When we moved back to the Territory (13 years ago) the house and property had been rented out for several years and there were absolutely no gardens or flowerbeds anywhere, just a bunch of scrub cedars.  We started with a load of compost and a few potted perennials  from our place in Belleville and made two little flower beds by the front steps.

We just kept building a few more beds.  My mom gave us quite a few plants from her flower beds in Elgin County and we bought plants on sale whenever we could. A few years ago we built a small (12' X 30')greenhouse on the south side of our garage/shop to start some annuals for ourselves.  Well, the greenhouse was really a little bigger than we needed so we had some plants left over to sell. Two years later we built a pergola in front of the shop to hold hanging baskets to sell. The next year we turned this into a greenhouse (17'X40'). A couple of years later I got a bargain greenhouse (all in pieces and no instructions) from a neighbour and we finally got it up in 2010.  This Spring we have a new 36X24 greenhouse ready to assemble as soon as the weather warms up a little.

The purpose of the blog is to let you follow our journey, through our notes and photos.  We will try to keep you up to date on our activities as we plant the crops and grow them for sale.  If you have questions or comments, feel free to send them in. We will have fun - hope you do too!
