Crocus flowers are easy to cultivate. They are naturally hardy, and naturally resistant to insects and disease. The problem is that each corm will only produce 1 flower, and each flower will only produce 3 saffron stigmas. At the end of your harvest, you’ll only wind up with a tiny bit of usable saffron  Although crocus flowers should appear 6-8 weeks after planting your bulbs, sometimes the flowers will not appear until the following fall, a full year after you plant your bulbs. In some cases, planting in spring can produce blooms in the fall. In the center of each purple crocus flower, you should find 3 orange-red stigmas. Wait for a sunny day when the flowers are fully open, and carefully remove these stigmas from each of your crocus blooms using your fingers. Once you have carefully removed all of the saffron stigmas, lay them out on paper towels in a warm, dry place. Leave them alone for 1-3 days until they are completely dry.  Dried saffron should be kept in a cool, dry place. You can store saffron in an airtight container for up to 5 years. When you are ready to use your saffron, steep the dried stigmas in hot liquid (such as milk, water, or broth) for 15-20 minutes. Add both the liquid and the stigmas to your recipe. Saffron can be used for rice, soups, sauces, potatoes, baked goods, and other dishes. Adding the stigmas along with the liquid allows them to release more color and flavor into your food.

Summary: Be patient. Pluck the stigmas from each crocus flower. Dry and store your saffron. Use saffron in recipes.


Carrots and potatoes can be found in village gardens.  When the carrots and potatoes are fully grown, click on them or press the right trigger button on the controller to break them with your hand or a sword.  Each block with carrots produces multiple carrots.  Walk over them to collect them.  You can also find carrots by killing zombies or in shipwreck supply chests, and pillager outpost chests. Don't eat them! You won't be able to grow what your character has consumed already. You can craft a hoe using a crafting table.  Have to sticks and two blocks or bars of the material of your choice, and select them, or place them in the crafting grid in the following positions:  Place a stick in the middle space, and the bottom middle space.  Sticks can be crafted from wood plank blocks, which can be crafted from wood. Place a wood plank block, stone block, iron bar, or diamond in the upper-middle space, and the upper-left space. Click and drag the hoe to your inventory. Equip the hoe and use it on dirt or grass to till the soil. To equip the hoe, open your inventory and place it in your toolbar.  Press the number that corresponds to the toolbar space on your keyboard, or press the right and left shoulder buttons on the controller to highlight the different toolbar spaces.  Place the reticle on a grass or dirt block and right-click, or press the left trigger button on the controller to till the soil. To plant the carrots, place them in your toolbar and highlight them to equip them.  Then place the reticle on a tilled soil block and right-click or press the left trigger button to plant the carrots.  Each carrot you plant will produce multiple carrots. Carrots are ready to be harvested when you can see the orange portion poking out of the ground. The potatoes are ready to be harvested when you can see their distinct brown color. Make sure that you've placed the farmland near a water source, as this will make the plants grow faster.

Summary: Obtain carrots or potatoes. Craft a hoe. Till the soil. Plant the carrots in the tilled soil. Wait.

If you rush into the splits, you may hurt yourself. You must stretch before you do the splits even if you have done the splits a hundred times. Stretching your muscles will help you to ease into the splits more carefully. Do each stretch a few times repeatedly, so to increase flexibility in those stretches. If you want to follow a specific program, try physiotherapist Lisa Howell's flexibility program called The Front Splits Fast.
Summary: Stretch before you do the splits. Do a 10 to 20 minute warm-up, stretching each of your muscles.
