Growing Saffron (1st week of harvest)

View summary
My first week of
#Saffron blooms, they came in daily handfuls of 3, 4 and 5.
By the time today's partially-emerged blooms come the rest of the way out and I pinch them off, today should be more like 15 flowers harvested. I should see those numbers jump over the 2nd week of harvest.
And if you look carefully, you can see that front-most bloom was nibbled on just a bit, where the leaves got eaten but not the spice.
