Notes

Seeds were very successful. I've ended up with three big clumps, which I'll lift and separate when the weather warms up, looking for corms to continue development. Hope for harvest in a year or so.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
