More Info

Harvest-  It is very important to only harvest your Chives after your herb is completely established (normally about 6 weeks after planting) Cut off the stem as close to the soil as you can.

Chives- You can eat your Chives herbs fresh or you can freeze them.  I do not recommend drying your chives, they loose most of their flavor.
