I clipped the rest of my #chives before the first frost last night. Hoping they'll dry so I can make my #home-grown spice bottle. 3 Nov 2023 #alliumschoenoprasum #garlic-chives #gyo-herbs

Have you tried freezing them? Snip them up and place in oil of your choice in ice cube trays.

@ausgardentags great idea! I've heard of doing that but forgot until you reminded me

#chives going to #seed. I could have cut the flowers off and made it bloom again this season, but I'm trying to multiply these chives so I'm going for seeds for now. 15 June 2023 #alliumschoenoprasum #garlic-chives #allium-seedheads #herbs #gyo #gyo-herbs

Are these no good to eat when they flower?🌞

@sunlovin hasn't stopped me! I'm letting them flower because I want them to make seeds and spread. I still use the leaves all year & haven't noticed any difference in taste.

@sushiwaitress Ok thanks. I’ve had them for years but never knew when I was supposed to eat them. Lol. 🌞

I love this herb. It’s super easy to care for. It cares for itself. Trimming back encourages new growth. It’s never ending, I love it. I’ve had mine for three years and it’s still going strong.

#chives from #tripplebrookfarm coming along nicely along with two #fromseed chives that got munched down to the roots last season by some mystery critter. #ifitwantstoliveitllfight 8 Apr 2021 #alliumschoenoprasum

Last of my #tripplebrookfarm plant purchases, simple #chives -- I'd tried to grow them from seed this year but some critter kept digging them up and then chomping off any growth so I decided to buy them rather than face another year of waiting for chives. Planted in a container so they don't get everywhere. 16 Dec 2020 #alliumschoenoprasum #herb #perennial #ediblelandscaping
