Saffron is a very expensive food flavoring. It is actually the dried stigma (tiny threadlike strands) of the Crocus Sativus Linneaus. Crocus is a spring flowering plant, from a small bulb, shaped like a tiny onion. They can grow in shallow medium. Hundreds of them would not take up much space and they multiply easily.

You would have to grow the plants, harvest the stigma at the proper time, dry them, package them and market them. Do some research for more information.

Starting veg plants from seeds is very easy and could be profitable if you sell them at a local farmer’s market. Tomato plants are fast and easy, as are green peppers. Herbs are great and start easily from seeds.

Hostas are profitable, but you should start those from digging an existing plant and dividing it. Not too successful from seed. Good luck.
