Do I understand this. All winder they will continue to grow blades of leaves, then dye by summer and regrow in the fall and then I should pick the flowers and harvest saffron? I'm from Pa.

One discovery was your blog, it was a pleasure to meander through it. I think I may be giving my daughter Forking Fantastic for Christmas and am now off to try out your recipe for Fall Quick Bread. I have no idea how I missed your gracious comment two years ago. Thank you. I’ve been reviewing and pruning out a few odd comments this afternoon.

Perhaps the fried bacon oror was also a repellent. We did some covering wiht bird netting this summer and it works well as long as it was pegged down and we left a lot fo slack for plant growth. This really helped our peppers which regrow very slowly. I know deer don’t like it when they sense a barrier but can’t see it well. Perhaps the fried bacon oror was also a repellent.

I was a little hesitant to get my hopes up because I read all these warnings about watering and how your bulbs wouldn't flower the first year, etc.... BUT the little guys, even with all my neglect, sent up two flowers per bulb already! It is SO satisfying to walk out on the deck and harvest the saffron. (However, it is a bit less satisfying to come into the kitchen and find DH using the paper towel you were drying your saffron on to blow his nose. We've decided all saffron-drying towels should be appropriately labeled with a warning: Your DW will probably freak out if you move this paper towel even an inch. She can't be held accountable for anything that happens to you if you blow your nose on it.) I finally tried growing saffron crocus this year.
