Greetings hivers I'm here posting after a long time as it is winter I'm seeing everything freezing around the world especially the places where it snows .



In my region it doesn't snow in winter but the fear of frost is alarming as we know is a micro layer of ice it freezes liquid or water inside the body of plant which might result as plant's death there we keep fertilizing our crops to stay strong.
Saffron has a long history in past in different times people had used it for different purposes from colouring garments to medicinal purposes it was a time when it was considered more rare then gold andit is stil most expensive in the world.This fall I had planted plenty of saffron bulbs in a rectangle basket I used to place spices jars in that basket but it was a bit broken so I put a cloth inside it and some soil and planted these bulbs they were quite expensive as saffron itself is each bulb coste around 1/2 $ I've bought 10 bulbs they were going well saffron require a lot of direct sunlight but the whole January remained cloudy therefore it became a little weak and even one of my bulb got rotten..

This is the amount of saffron I got cuz there was only one flower bloom it has a deep melodious fragrance.

I had also planted some chia seeds in a clay pot they grew overcrowded so i thinned them and planted separately they are also going well now all of them are blooming very cute little blue colour flowers and now I'm waiting if a pollinater came across i will surely have a handful of chia seeds at the end of season chia are often called superfood as they have a large amount of protein and a lot of other micro minerals and they are often used in shakes.
