Bulbs!

You know spring is close when bulbs start popping up. The very first are alway the crocus. If you look at the yellow stamen, these are what are picked and called Saffron. Saffron is ued to add flavor and color to Indian dishes and rice dishes like risotto. I've never picked home grown Saffron, but maybe this year I will give it a try. I also posted a picture of some lilies that are starting to pop up. Next weekend is St. Joseph's day, so we will be planting some stuff on Saturday!
