Growing Chives In Pots...

My neighbour happens to love gardening too. Chives seems to be his expertise...LOL Seriously, this guy grows chives like a pro! We're really envious of how beautiful and healthy his chives look in the polystyrene box. It would grow back like crazy after they're harvested. Normally, he would leave like 1 or 2 inches of those chives to grow back. Chives is not hard to grow...well, that is what i've read about chives....but, chives is so hard to grow from seeds. I've tried twice....the first attempt never germinate and the second one managed to germinate only one seed but it died eventually....I've been told by Mr.Google I've read on the internet that it is almost impossible to grow chives from seeds. 

The easiest is to get some seedlings from the nursery or better, from your neighbour like my mom did....:P It was not easy to convince my neighbour's wife, known as Amoi, to give us some rooted cuttings. She insisted on giving the chives instead of the seedlings. But my mom's negotiating skills somehow managed to soften her LOL :P She gave us a bunch of newly harvested chives and some are still with roots for us to grow... and the rest is history....

Thank you, Amoi.....I don't think Amoi is reading my blog....:)

4 days old chives. It's growing back very fast.
