| | Chive Talk |
| | Chives are a perennial that dies back to the ground every winter, but that makes those first few leaves taste all the better early in spring when they push their way out of the ground. | | | If you have a chives surplus, or you just want to preserve some for next winter, you can freeze your chives, but don't dry them--the flavor evaporates with the moisture. | | | And, although we usually just eat the leaves, all the parts of chives are edible: the bulbs the leaves spring from, the leaves themselves--even the flowers! |

| | In a small English-style garden I've used chives not only for a spark of color from the blooms, but for the shape of the leaves -- the grasslike spears are a wonderful contrast to the rest of the more common foliage. | | | Once the chives are producing blossoms it is important to keep cutting them back to encourage growth, doing small sections at a time rather than just trimming the whole top. | | | The blossom is actually a tight cluster of six- pointed pink flowers, reminiscent of clover blossoms, giving it the appearance of a single bloom. |
