AUGUST 30, 2022 CHIVES

Chives are used in cooking as are other plants in the Lily Family. The botanical name for Chives is Allium schoenoprasum. The better known Allium plants are Garlic ( Allium sativum ) and Onion ( Allium cepa ) Chives are the smallest of the Onion Plants. They do have a delicate onion taste without being overwhelming The flowers are edible as are with Garlic and Onions.

Chives are easy to grow in pots. I always grow Chives because it adds a wonderful flavor to food. In addition, I eat the flower. Chives like partial sunlight and plenty of water To get new growth always separate your chive clumps.

Energetically chives excel at protection ( as do Garlic and Onion) and absorb all negative energy

Grow all Allium plants in your garden

Until tomorrow…
