[Sca-cooks] Saffron, yet again...

[Shannon Malone]

I haven't grown them before, but I'm planting them this fall.  Richter's in Canada sells the bulbs -- I think it was $49 for 100 bulbs.

I knew a woman in LA once who said she grew them and it was a pain to harvest.  I like doing that kind of stuff though so I'm excited to try them.
