All best - Gavin

Hi James, fancy meeting you here.

Funny you should mention growing crocus for saffron, I played with the idea last year. I hunted around for info and bulbs, hard to get in Holland. Yield is really low but of course you only need a few strands at the time for cooking. Never did pursue it. If you are successful, you will let us know won't you?

john_miller:
 What you are looking for, James, is Crocus sativus. It being an autumn flowering crocus makes me wonder why it cannot be planted in the ornamental garden rather than taking up potentially valuable allotment or herb garden space?

jammyd:
Hi John, thanks for that - didn't want to go poisoning anyone ;)

I don't have a garden, so the lottie is my only planting option. I was thinking of planting a dozen or so around the base of my raspberries though, that might work, and keep the herb bed for other herbs!
