Could Saffron Help Vermont Farmers?

Just in case someone who hasn't read the cautions in prior saffron streams
decides to grow it, be aware that voles can eat every bulb in one season.
At my previous residence, I had a few thousand bulbs under half inch
hardware cloth
(http://homedepot.com/p/…

protection. The first year I got one blossom and not a one since.
