It’s time to plant saffron crocus bulbs! 🌸 This little autumn-blooming flower has one of the longest and richest histories in the world — prized for its deep golden-red threads, it was cultivated in ancient Greece, traded across the Mediterranean, and even mentioned in Homer’s epics. #fall #diy

Today we took our five borough tour to Staten Island, which too often has been caricatured or ignored.
The truth is that the story of Staten Island is the story of New York — a city built by generations of immigrants, where everyone wants to be able to afford a dignified life.

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:
"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

The Justice Department’s decision to fire a judge-appointed U.S. Attorney and reinstate Trump’s preferred pick, without Senate confirmation, isn’t just unusual. It’s a direct attack on the separation of powers that defines American democracy.

Try taking a 6–8" healthy stem cutting, remove lower leaves, dip in rooting hormone (optional - can be found in most garden stores), and plant in moist soil. Keep humid and out of harsh sun. In a few weeks, roots should form and start a new #mulberry!
