It was a beautiful summer once the rain decided to stop. This was the year I was not planning to grow veggies. I planned to just pick them up from the farmers market, and I would only have to do my thing with the saffron plants...

I always fly into a tizzy at this time of year. It’s the darkness of the mornings and nights, and the shortness of the days that simply take the joy out of these months. I want spring and summer to last all year. But it never...

October is the craziest month for bounty from the garden for me. Some years back I decided to fill my raised beds with a saffron crop. Over the space of four years the crocus sativus corms I planted have increased dramatically in...

Vicki Warner I have two sisters in Tassie, and am very familiar with the Huon valley, beautiful part of the world. Wow, that would be back breaking work, and is another reason why saffron is so expensive. Mine in the most temperate region of Canada is grown in high raised...

Vicki Warner @crazyhorseladycx it’s great to know at least your thoughts are with me at this very busy time. Just partially processed another 300 collected yesterday afternoon, and now back in bed to catch some zzz before resuming. October is a very concentrated month, and...

Vicki Warner Saffron is without doubt one of the most interesting spices you can grow. It looks straightforward, but actually there is a lot to learn about it! If you plan to grow it, make sure you get quality corms, the biggest you can afford, and only from a reputable...

The autumn days are here now, and each day seems to be shorter and darker than the last. To be honest, it has always been a most difficult time of the year for me. I crave light and the gorgeous days of summer, even though this...

Vicki Warner @crazyhorseladycx I remember how overwhelmed I was to see the first bloom this year! But now there are blooms all down the long and rampant stem on this beauty. All Hoyas are very different, which is another interesting thing about them. I love the way the...

Vicki Warner @indexer I think my comment above still stands. We have learned from events in the past that you can only deal with things as they happen. And amazingly, it seems to work out most of the time. We have provincial elections coming up shortly, and, although...

Vicki Warner Yes, it is Hoya, and it is a very vigorous one in the sunroom. Unfortunately it is too cold to grow them outside at this time of the year.

Vicki Warner Yes, they’re almost like delicate porcelain. Right now two are blooming, this one, and a pure white one. I have five different types of Hoya. The days have gone quickly this year, and I don’t like to wish them away, but oh, I love the long days!
