PLANT CHIVES

They’re easy to grow, easy to harvest and easy on the taste buds, plus their mild onion flavour livens up baked spuds, cheese muffins and cream cheese sandwiches. Even their pretty pink flowers are edible so scatter the delicately flavoured florets in your salads or use to flavour herb vinegars. Chives require almost no attention once established, other than water when conditions are dry. Provide a little shade during long, hot summers or plants may become stressed and get attacked by black aphids.
