Chives Picture
This chives picture shows a lovely lush green growth of the herb and will help you identify it. They are very useful, having a delicate onion flavor which doesn't overwhelm the taste of other foods. You use them by simply snipping the long leaves into pieces with scissors or chopping with a knife. They are very easy to grow. If your clump has become weed infested, then you need to dig it up and tease the bulbs apart. Do this gently, removing the weeds as you go. You then replant the chives in clumps, firm down the soil with your foot and water well. They are hardy perennials and will come up year after year. Divide them when they get overcrowded - you can either replant them in your own garden or pot them up and either give them away or sell them.
For an explanation of gardening terms that you might not understand, please check out the Growers Dictionary section. I found that I was either skimping on explanations or giving too much information on the individual pages so I have posted all relevant terms in one section - if there's anything you need to know, please drop me an email.
