I thought I would write about my thoughts and the practicalities of being a lazy Urban gardener and cook in Burnaby, British Columbia.  Like many people, we decided that we would start growing as many vegetables as we could ourselves in the small space we have in front and at the back of our house.  Also I really like the idea of making as much of I can from scratch.
I have big ideas - I am going to make my own bacon, types of cheese, learn how to butcher our own meat (but not kill it), make preserves, make bread and perhaps our own prosciutto.   I would love to keep chickens but, unfortunately, Burnaby City Hall doesn't allow backyard chickens.

How am I going to do this?  I am going to use as many resources as I can from the internet, books, local talks and learning as I go along.  I think it will be fun!


Regards,
