Thanks guys, I think obtuse has near nailed my thoughts. I think I need the time and its time for change.

Will be going hardcore with garden and plants, and other mad shit...lol... idle hands will do the devils work :lol:

There is always a time to "strike"....just gotta have open eyes :wink:

May even do my own thing again, that said I just like to "do the work" without all the other bullshit.

Feijoas... thats a pic off a little one, I still baby it for winter. Have another 2 mature ones, and they pump them out some years,

a bit on and off though. Not sure if its me, local climate at pollination set of just the nature of the plants.

On a good year I could never eat them all, bad year dont get enough...lol....I do love em though.

No fancy stuff....lol...straight into them with a teaspoon. If anyone knows of some fancy tricks keen to hear 'em.

Piccies tommo :wink:, took a few today, was a god with the chainsaws today and broke down some sizable trees and I'm tired....

not old you bastards...lol...just tired.

nailed it DS :wink:

Some years I forget to look at them, and only find spent flowers...fafafafafafa...lol

Best picked when first open, and dry, then into a warm spot.

I've heard of people using ovens at low temp/door ajar,I just put them on top of the hot water cyclinder (in cupboard) for a day.

If I forget them though they are spoilt.

Dont mind at all mate :wink: Doesnt mean I will tell ya...lol

Seriously, I got the original corms off ebay from a bloke down here. I went through a few different sources before I found good stock. There might be something "off" with some stock (viral maybe? Poor corm production for propogation...about to crap on about that...lol).

As an aside, I do know there is a "goldilocks zone" in regards to mother corm depth, for optimum daughter corm size. Bigger is always better :wink: well not always.....but in this case yes. The mother corm gets dragged ( actually pushed maybe the mechanics) up in th soil profile by daughter corms. If you don't "reset" the mother each year (if going for corms), then the daughters increase in number and get smaller (too close to surface). If you are only going for saffron as such, no need to be so anal.

Some push the love , and sell out some pretty damn average starting material IMO. Its where a lot of people get failures

I can do you a few corms when they go dormant again DS to kick you off...lol...I may need reminding :lol:

This pot will have a few more plants popping up yet. Another flower today, and there is now about 5 flowers I can see growing through on the first plant to burst through, more to come :) . A bit more saffy love...

gettin there again , doing the clean up and fill holes phase of the vegie patch, had a rat setback....lol....not anymore :uzi:

i've noticed plants pushing themselves out of the ground before. Strange thing for a plant to do, you would think.
