IT DECIDED TO BLOOM!

What did I learn? Saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) seems to need a cold shock and/ or short days to get the signal to bloom.

This means, that I probably (hopefully) just need to wait until the days get shorter. Optimistically. Or, worse, it needs cold temperatures, which means, that I have to place every pot with the bulbs inside onto my balcony, making the indoor plant aspect obsolete.

Also, I accidentally dropped a pot, so I had to repot the already germinated bulbs.

I noticed that the skin of them peeled off and started rotting. I really hope that this won’t attract too many fungus gnats, or I’ll get mad. This means, that I have to flush the pots now regularily to get off any dead plant matter. This fucking sucks man.

I really really hope that I even like the taste of saffron. This is such a fucking pain. If it also tastes like grandpas’ arse, like the only time I tried commercial saffron, I’m gonna cry man.

Cheers.
