Chives....all year round....potted

Joan from Masterton District

I used to grow the small grasslike chives but I found that they very quickly went to seed and I wasnt able to keep them going all year round.

However a few years ago I somehow ended up with these chives which have taller thicker leaves and they dont go to seed readily and even when they do seed there are still plenty of leaves to pick and use .

As a result I have chives all year round. The plants survive through the winter and the Summer in a big pot that I have them in, and I'm never short of chives .
Theres a number of plants in the pot for sale which you could divide up or just put into a larger pot.
I have included a photo of the mature plants growing happily in a big pot. they just seem to run on from year to year. The plants for sale are in the smaller black plant pot.
Very easy to grow and give great reward.

Thanks for looking.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
