Don’t forget the savory, both summer and winter. Also coriander, the seeds of cilantro. Not sure if you can do cumin where you are.

If you can grow crocus, you can grow saffron; it’s the stigmas of the saffron crocus: 3 strands per flower; 3 or 4 flowers per plant.

While I use cumin rarely, the others I don’t care for at all. Corriander and cilantro not my cup of tea.

14,000 to make one oz! All hand picked! That’s some intensive hand labor. I don’t know if I can grow crocus or not might look into it. I think that there is a Marigold that they call poor man’s saffron that has similar taste. That I know I could grow.
