Growing Chives

Chives are as easy to grow as putting some seeds in a lot in the corner. While other plants are very difficult to grow, chives are very easy. You can se them in your soups, dips or simply as a garnish. If you want to grow them you should have them in a sunny spot, as they love the light. Still, they can be kept in a less sunny place as well. If you want to plant some chives, wait until the winter is over and frost is no longer a danger. With a ready and moist soil, put the seeds of the chives inside and tamp them down a bit.

If the seeds of the chives are bought from a store, put them in the ground as soon as possible, as they’re usually less viable over longer periods of time. When you plant them, they will clump together and those clumps should be divided in clumps planted every two years or so. You can do that by digging the chive clumps, getting them into groups and getting them back into the ground. In that area more chives will grow.

What I love about chives is that they are quite resistant to pests and insects, much more so than normal herbs and plants are. The great thing about them is that you can put them in the right places and the garden will be protected from pests. My flower garden has chives in it and I really recommend you to keep them as well.

If you’re keeping your chives in some pots or inside some containers, keep those either near your house or inside. The plants need a minimum of five hours of sun on them, so make sure they get it. It would be a good idea to turn the plant every day or so, in order for it to get sunlight on all its sides.
