What did you do in the garden today?

For my second attempt at sour dough bread, I baked it in a Japanese clay pot. I think it came out around the same as yesterday's one. Tomorrow, I will bake it in a silicone banneton proofing basket that I just got from amazon, and I will be shooting for the ear razor cut with the new blade I got.

My favorite way to make sourdough, use a ceramic coated cast iron dutch oven that I preheat to 400, then I crank up the heat to 450 with it sealed up for 25m, then take off the lid for another 25m. Using parchment paper to move my dough from the bowl to the dutch oven keeps it from deflating; and from sticking during baking. I always score an "X" on the top of my dough with a serrated blade that's wet before I move it into the dutch oven.

You are pre-freezing your food, right? Save some energy and freeze your foods in food storage bags in the trays; then cut them off of the food and pop them in the freeze dryer.

Yep. My trays have lids. No baggies involved.

We have our very first squash! I don’t know how many years it has been! From bug infestation to poor soil we’ve failed. I’m supper excited.
I love glads
We got our electric fence up then one of the cats went thru it - out other side and now not working!
