slow food baking and gardening

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.

Have you checked out the Dave's Garden site?

 Mariah,  Have you visited the Dave's Garden site?  DG is a wonderful online community, especially for those interested in gardening.  There are many wonderful forums with a lot of good information there.

Mariah, Here is another link for you:  http://forums.seedsavers.org/

This is the gardening forum at Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa.  I am in complete agreement with you on gardening.

Thanks all. Between Taunton and seedsavers I may never get off the computer. So much to read & learn.

Mariah,

I grow all our fruit and veg, bake all our processed foods and butcher local animals, curing our meats.  We have chickens and a friend up the street has goats that I milk and make cheese from. 

I would second Dave's Garden but the best is if you can google for a garden forum or blog in your particular growing region.  Where are you located?  Seed Savers is great but the seeds are not meant for my climate so I buy from other heirloom OP seed sources.  That way I can garden year round with little to no losses since the plants have been tested in my climate. 

Good luck to you!

Warmly,

Annette
