It looks like your bulbs are dividing, Whwoz? I mean the side shoots, will they form little new ones at the end of season? You will have a crop forever, if that's the case.
The middle eastern good stuff is around $252 an ounce.

Roughly about the same price for an ounce of good marijuana in an area that it is highly illegal.
In other words Austin Texas less $150 Conroe Texas more $260.
A field of saffron could be a good thing to consider.

I have a wee bit of the good stuff (saffron) here some place.
