>>137038Oh, I thought about saffron briefly when I noticed the price of it at the store. I've never actually eaten it, I was just curious about it. I assume there must be some complex process to it that makes it annoying, like vanilla. It must be expensive for areason.
One of the youtubers I watch about gardening is Australian and I'm quite envious of all the stuff he's got going on. I think I linked him in the thread somewhere. My area gets really hot in the summer but we still have weeks of freezing temperatures so anything tropical is out of the question. Oh, and lavender, which I really like, dies here because of the humidity.
>>137039Yeah, you can get dwarf trees (my family had them when I was a kid) but they're more susceptible to diseases and it explains how we lost all 3 of them during one summer. There's grafting, too, which is kind of horrifying as a concept but it's how most people grow apples.
