Hi, I've started chives from seed and will be transplanting to a 6" diameter terra cotta pot. I did the over seeding method. How many starter plugs would you put into a pot that size?
-
Hmm good point. Maybe I'll only let a couple go to seed. lol. I can relate. I am currently having that very problem with "volunteer" horse radish plants that I can't seem to get rid of...lol. Thanks Gary.

Yeah they reseed so well be careful. Unless you eat the heck out of them. Dried chives are great too if you get too many.
-
I never thought of them reseeding. I usually eat them before they have time to flower and go to see. lol. I will let half of them go to seed this year. Thanks!

Chives will keep sending up all new shoots. When mine flower I sheer the whole mound down and new growth comes back. All summer.

I have a chive that is doing very well this year, my question is about harvesting it. If I cut all the chive off will it just keep growing back up throughout the summer?
-
we got wild chives growing all around and the ones I dont eat give a nice smell if I mow over them :)
-
I just bought a chive plant for the first time a few weeks ago. It's doing well. It's nice to know it will last me for years and propagate easily!
-
Absolutely. I ate a piece of an onion flower & it was amazing! :)
-
Now those flowers are edible.

Another great video! My chives have already bloomed. They are so easy to propogate.
