you plan to set them out. Use them fresh to liven up salads and dressing, or garnish eggs, soups, and fish.
Planting depth: Cover seeds with ¼ inch of soil.
Care: Provide consistent moisture until seeds germinate.
Container growing: Chives is an excellent container plant. For a mixed container, combine it with
other herbs, such as sage, rosemary, and thyme, in a large pot. Good drainage is essential.will need some green leaves to renew itself.
Hint: Chives are best used fresh, but if you like to save herbs for the off-season, chop the leaves and freeze them in water in ice-cube trays. Once frozen pop them out and store in the freezer in zip lock bags. Add to eggs, soups, stews, sauces as needed

I have never grown my own chives but I'd sure like to. In addition to the great taste, I think they are just plain pretty when they're growing!
(Are you having TFWS like I am? That's "Tea Friend Withdrawal Syndrome" after our big week in Kentucky!)
Pretty AND edible! A win-win
I used two containers of frozen chives this winter. Sooo my chives better get going quick! Thanks for all of the good information! xo
