Chives are one of the easiest herbs to grow and their slight oniony flavour means that they go well in nearly every savory dish.
We have several chive plants in our garden and spend the entire season (spring to autumn) adding them to stews, soups, salads, omelettes, sandwiches and stir fries.
The leaves, bulbs & flowers are edible.
Chives are good companion plants and ward off pests and diseases to protect carrots, tomatoes, grapes and roses.
They grow well in the ground, in pots and on windowsills, so there is no excuse for not having this wonderful herb in your grow-your-own patch.
