Love chives. The grow fast. I've been cutting mine back once a week the past 2 wks. I put some in salsa yesterday as an experiment, gave it a whole new fresher taste.

We love chives too! Great idea since it does have a mild onion flavor! We added some to our twice baked potatoes last night. Have a good night! Thanks for watching! Misilla

I have several spots of chives. They grow like weeds.i harvest them and drain dry then I cut them in small pieces and freeze them. I can put them in almost every recipe. Like cheddar biscuits, potato, eggs muffins. Stir fries etc!

Good morning Misilla! That is a very healthy looking clump of chives you are working with there. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy. Happy Gardening! -Bob...

[@LearnToGrow1]

Thank you, Bob. You too!

Love chives! I think I love a potato with chives and sour cream! I’ll have to plant them in different areas to deter those pest! Thanks Misilla! 😊

[@LearnToGrow1]

I'm new to gardening and I planted chives last year in a pot. They were so thin I thought they were blades of grass. This year they are so tall and obvious that they are chives and I was unaware that they would come back the next year 😀

[@LearnToGrow1]

Hi that’s great! Now you can divide them for more. Such a versatile herb to grow. Thanks for watching! Misilla

[@EssayonsFG]

Great how to Misilla. A great way to be more frugal in the garden. Take care, Rob

[@LearnToGrow1]

Thank you Rob! Have a good night!

[@ltlbnsgarden]

Your chives plant looked great and it gave you more plants. I have one chive plant and it it starting to fill in nicely. 😊

[@LearnToGrow1]

Hopefully you can separate them this fall so you get more plants! Have a good week my friend.

I am just loving your videos!! We are probably doing this same project tomorrow! 🤜👍🤛♡♡♡

[@LearnToGrow1]

Thank you so much, Aname! Have a good night! Misilla

Nice work

[@LearnToGrow1]

Thank you!

Sweet video, Misilla. I tried growing chives last year from seed, but something didn't go right (probably me) and nothing grew. Your video inspired me and I will give it a go again this year. Those chives looked GREAT! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@LearnToGrow1]

You’re welcome Evan! Glad you found it helpful! Don’t bury the seeds too deep since they’re so tiny. Seed depth is 2X the width of the seeds. Have a great day!

[@dandsarahyrudder8650]

i’ve tried chices from seeds many seasons w no luck. finally someone gave me a bunch so I’m happy to get going w a head start.

You’re welcome!

[@ethanboyd7843]

Just did this, what's the regrowth time like in warm weather?

[@LearnToGrow1]

Hi Ethan, They grow quickly as the weather warms. If it's very warm and dry make sure the soil is moderately moist. I cut back a clump last month and grew 12 inches in about 3.5 weeks, but it's cooler here in the PNW.

[@herdsofhavanese9745]

So will those small clumps eventually be as big as the original was?

[@dandsarahyrudder8650]

@@herdsofhavanese9745yea the little bulblets are rhizomes and spread underground.

[@simryusom8811]

Hi, Are they perennial?

[@LearnToGrow1]

Hi yes they are perennial to zones 3-10. Thanks for watching!

[@jameseden9380]

I make chive pesto!

[@LearnToGrow1]

Yum!

[@pastapiano8202]

I want some for my eggs 😓

[@WernAncheta]

cant help but notice the accent.. are you from the Philippines?

[@LearnToGrow1]

Hi yes I’m Filipino, but grew up in the states. Thanks for watching!

[@ericnyamu9981]

Basically you have not gotten more chives.i thought you would divide one bloblet to get more chives.

[@LearnToGrow1]

I did divide one clump into 5 clumps which I divided again last year into 18 clumps. It’s a way to propagate to get more plants and yield bigger harvests.
