“I grow my own saffron.It’s really easy.”
How?
About 3 years ago we built a raised bed and planted saffron crocuses.They grow most anywhere as long as you get cooler fall weather:

they are on sale right now.I planted 45 bulbs and got a good bit from them last year.This year I expect even more.:) When the flower blooms in Sept you pull the red strings out of them, lay them on a paper plate and let them dry for a few days then store in a cool dry dark place.I picked up a few little tea tins a few years back and use those to store it in.
