Chives are my only plant that has survived anything. Even the great texas snow storm and the great ice storm. Literally the honeybager of plants


IronEagle20

Yea this thing is a tank and conquers anything that gets thrown at it 😆 it’s even outcompeting the spearmint growing around it


95percentdragonfly

I think ours is 5, I wish I knew more ways to use it. Literally only on my potatoes... lame I know


asiannumber4

Try Chinese recipes.


IronEagle20

I put them on everything you’d put onion on, pizza, bagels, soups, salads, burgers, eggs, etc. Trick with chives though is their flavor is best when uncooked so always throw it on right before eating. Great way to add a little oniony punch to just about anything.

Ours happens to be garlic chives! So they have a little extra yummy! I've not put them on a burger, I think I will! Thanks!


IronEagle20

I actually didn’t know garlic chives were a thing until this year. I planted one this season and will hopefully reap the rewards for many years to come!

My friend makes chive vinegar by soaking the flowers in the vinegar and it makes the most gorgeous fuchsia colour and is great on salads


IronEagle20

Yea I’m gonna try that tomorrow.


HussDelRio

Sounds great, do you know what type of vinegar?


DepressionSiesta

Probably just a white vinegar. If you soak red onions in white vinegar, you get that super bright pink color.


BrovaloneSandwich

Yeah just White vinegar but you can get creative with it

I love how it's coexisting with a bed of mint


pushdose

They’re both unstoppable forces of nature.


hypno_tode

Alliums for all!

My chive plant is only on year three but looking good-it’s always one of the first things to come up in early spring!


Noimnotonacid

Put the flowers in any vinegar and it gives an oniony flavor to them


cheeseballgag

The best sandwich spread is kewpie mayo blended with chives, garlic and black pepper. Absolute banger on a burger.


IronEagle20

Oh hell yes this sounds great


FLSpaceJunk2

Does it produce year round near tropical climates?


IronEagle20

Good question I’m not sure


Ok-Fox1262

The chive is alive!


BenHowardFan34

I’m just amazed they’re not overtaken by the mint


IronEagle20

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object


xXStreetlamp_03Xx

Ooh it looks so pretty


catsgomoo

I jive with chive
