Homegrown Chives

[Midnight Smoke]

3rd season and doing better than ever. These are great on potatoes.

I've got some going on 5 years, but I'm going to pull them up and start over this year. They're thick like blades of grass now, and don't seem to be as potent.

I have a set going on 6 years.
Pluck those blooms off, that will ensure continued new and tender growth.

We have several bunches, mostly just for the looks, you can also get garlic chives

I need to plant some more. They are good on a lot of things: salads, potatoes, potato salad, etc.

 

[Phubar]

Nice!
Very good with eggs too!

Got basil and parsley growing,got them as seeds.
Phirst attempt growing my own herbs.

Those look good Terry. I have a bunch growing right outside the kitchen door(real handy). Like Phu, I need some more herbs next to the chives.

I did not know that. I left them on because they looked cool.

It is so hard to get things to grow in the Desert that any green is good.

I have to replant chives this year. The last one was about 6 years I think. Here in SoCal I can get almost anything to go multiple years, including my peppers and tomatoes.

You can eat the blooms or use for plate decoration.
