They probably multiply more if you make sure they aren't clumped
tightly together. I believe what I've read about growing them in
cottage patches, doesn't talk about digging them up. I haven't grown
them myself. It might also help control disease if you are growing
whole fields of them.
>When you say "sorted and graded" what exactly do you mean?
I believe that's only for commercial growers.
>The the spice the whole or just the pollen of the top of the thread?
A saffron thread is the stamen of the flower, the orange part in the
middle, not the pollen.

>American garlic, salt and pepper be darned! I am on the verge of new worlds ;)
When I was growing up, even garlic was exotic. Cinnamon on apples,
and ginger and cloves for pumpkin pie were about all the spices my
mom used.
