How to grow chives
Chives are super easy to grow - well worth keeping a little pot of them in the garden or even on a sunny windowsill indoors.
Chives taste so good not only in soured cream dip but also they add a nice delicate onion flavour to omelettes, egg mayonnaise and are great with salmon and new potatoes too.
- Sew chive seeds in pots of compost in early spring - I keep them indoors on the windowsill until they start to grow and until the weather is warmer.
- You can also buy young chive plants from the garden centre.
- Just cut the chives when you need them and the chive flowers are edible too - they make salads look extra nice!
