Yes, I think the trick is to let the dough rest for at least an hour before rolling. I tried that new pastry recipe you mentioned last weekend and it came out much flakier than my usual attempts. Keeping everything cold and not overworking the gluten made a real difference. I also added a pinch more salt than the recipe called for and it balanced the sweetness nicely. Let me know if you want the exact measurements I ended up using.

I checked the soil conditions in the community garden plot like you mentioned and the drainage is actually much better on the south side. The lavender should thrive there since it gets full sun until mid-afternoon. I plan to start preparing the beds this weekend and can send you photos once I have the layout set. The variety of tomatoes you suggested has been producing well despite the cooler nights we have been having.
