What is the weather where you are? Here is what is going on in the south. We can't seem to get ripe tomatoes because we enjoy them green . Early in the morning it is already 84 with high humidity. I start my bread and sit it out to rise. Then we pick and prepare for canning. Go knead. Start canning before it gets any hotter. Go shape for final rise. Take hot jars out and sit aside to be undisturbed. Bake and cook.  The days are busy, long, and hot but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I wish you all good food and happy baking. Anybody else have that first ripe tomato yet? Luckily my friend has a greenhouse and we have really had them all winter.

I have been on this site for over a month. I have baked all our bread. I can't see buying what I can do cheaper and better except for what I can't afford. I have a raised bed veggie garden. I am going again this spring. In the summer there's not much better than fresh bread & tomatoes or salad or greens or beans and onion. Fresh veggies always accompanied by fresh bread. I would to find a site like this in the gardening area. Fresh loaf is exceptional and that is what I am looking for in the gardening area. I do flowers, but food and getting the most out of my soil is what I am after. Just like the bread and the flour. Thanking you all in advance.
