I love chives, so pretty and useful, but I have discovered that they are better spreaders than I’d like. LikeLiked by 1 person Reply
Agree on the spreading! This group I just let go, and you see the result. Thanks for commenting! LikeLiked by 1 person Reply
The flowers are edible, if you want to add a little oniony-touch in a surprising package on deviled eggs, for example. LikeLiked by 2 people Reply
Thanks Doug. Think we’ll gather some tomorrow. I’ve used the chives a lot in preparing roast/pork loins, etc. Is Andy OK? LikeLike Reply
I have never tried my hand at growing herbs, maybe we can give it a try. Thanks for the clue about the blossoms. LikeLiked by 1 person Reply
We started with store bought at the farm store in those little containers. The only one that did not do well was the lavender. Chives, basil, oregano, and sage did fine. Only the basil did not come back this year. LikeLike Reply
