Garlic chive is a popular crop in Asia and is often times confused as: Chinese leek, leek, or green onion. It is easy to see why it is often confused. Garlic chive is part of the allium family of which leek and onions are a part of. It has flat leaves like leeks but has the pungency of garlic. Unlike onions, the leaves grow more like leeks. It is a wonder why they are not known as "garlic leek." In any event, this is an easy plant to grow and here are some growing tips.

nice video, thanks.

Get your kids involve with the garden. That way you can spend time with them and spend time at the garden. 😊. Win win situation

We have a lot of these in our garden. We love it.

Some great info. I heard about them being invasive do I have mine growing in a pot for the last few years. They are some very tuff plants. I can sometimes forget to check them.. TFS T

Hey boss, dont know why i wasn't sub'd, ive seen so many of your vids. Great stuff here i endorse and support this message

Thank you! 🌞

are my garlic chives still edible after they seed?

You're such a good gardener! I just let my garlic chives grow however they want lol. I've got two perpetual clumps. I do think I will be moving one clump away from the strawberries this winter. I also drop the seeds all over the place and now have a few other locations where garlic chives are growing. Only 1-2 big stalks so far on these seedlings. Garlic chive flowers and seeds, btw, are delicious!

Awesome video! I love the garlic chives in scrambled eggs, chive dumplings, soups and such. I am working on making the garlic chive flower sauce (Chinese Leek Flower Sauce). Have you done it before?

Awesome video! I was just gifted with a good clump of this- I've read several articles and watched a few vids but yours actually answered all my questions and gave me almost hands on experience. Very well done and now I super excited to have this plant. Thank you

I love chive dumplings 😋 thanks for the tips!

Always enjoy spending time with you in your garden and I don't blame you one bit for wanting to be with your little guy when you can. They really do grow up fast. Enjoy, Brian!

Man, I wish I lived closer.. I'd take a few off your hands.. Its good to know they take about two years to mature.. I always seemed to think I was having major issues.. I see them grow, but then seem to die, but comes back.. but never get any size.

Wow! Thats awesome! I never tried garlic chives only green onion!TFS!🌞

Nice thanks for the video. cant wait for the herb garden tour. keep them coming .

That is crazy! That was a ton of roots in that container! My 4 legged kids ate my chives! I need to plant more😂😂

Again, I need this in my garden! Coincidentally, a work friend is also a gardener and is going to bring me some garlic chives once he divides his plants. I spent a few hours in the garden today and have the perfect spot to grow these gorgeous plants! This is great info about garlic chives that I didn't know about. Thanks!

excellent video .

wow! Yo bro that's a great way to keep growing your stock! 80 plants from doing that!!! Great video. and nice to meet another gardener on YouTube!

Thanks Brian. We were watching you videos again about the pond. Melody said she thought your heritage was Japanese. We have been thinking about redoing HER pond and got some really good information from your videos. Spend as much time with your children as you can. Time passes faster than you realize. Best wishes Bob & Melody.
