Saffron?

Are those crocuses? I think I have some popping up too!

Yep, saffron crocus! They’ll be ready for Thanksgiving. Have to plan carefully since it’s a limited batch!

@Dana
That’s awesome! What do you usually cook with them?

@Dana
The color contrast is stunning! You have to share a photo when they’re fully blooming :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

It’s so lush and green! Are you planning to harvest for food, or is it just for looks? Wonder if my chickens would love it if I tried planting wheat :joy:

Thanks! Yep, the goal is to harvest and mill it into flour in spring. First time trying this, so I’m learning as I go.

@Vivian
That’s amazing! You’ll have your own home-grown wheat supply! Keep us updated, and a video would be awesome if you decide to document it!

Oh wow, I’ve never seen a white one before!

This is one of my favorites. I’m adding it to my spring list :potted_plant: Does yours bloom both in spring and fall?

Love how nature just takes care of itself! Are you growing milkweed for the Monarchs?
