Greetings. What a keepsake that your Dad left. Thanks for sharing.

Greetings from the opposite coast. I am glad that this video was helpful. Awesome that you're growing them as well. They are excellent when fermented! Occasionally I will find them in a restaurant's kimchi.

How can I get chives from you ?

@@hojaewon175 Ho Jae Won, Unless you are in SW Florida I don't know how you could get some from me but there are many gardening groups online. Facebook has loads of them. You can join one in your community and be in touch with lots of like minded people. I'm sure someone near you is growing them and would be happy to give you a clump to get you going. Gardeners love to share the love! Good luck.

Nice. Good to hear that you will be getting some rhizomes. You're really enjoy the flowers when you get to see them up close. You're welcome, Ren.

Thanks for sharing. The flowers do attract many bees here as well; especially with fewer summer flowers around. Pickled green seed pods sounds very interesting and a great use.

How did your pickled garlic chive green seeds turn out? I still have tons and would like to do something with them!

Thank you for the comment :)

Thank you. Both kinds of chives are great. Super that you are growing both.

You're welcome, Lee. My great pleasure. I am happy to have helped solved that mystery. :) --brian

Chive dumplings are tasty. You're welcome.

Certainly, Victor. I look forward to making a herb tour video. One of the herbs can be seen at the end of the video. There are Winter Savory in a pot and that pot is sitting on the tumeric that is on the right. I dont have recipes that use it and currently growing it for fun. Thanks for commenting and have a nice day.

Glad you enjoyed it

It is a very unique herb in texture and flavor. Very cool that you will grow it and try it!

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you came across this video.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for subscribing!

Hehe, thanks. Good idea moving a clump away from the strawberries. The berry plant is gonna want to get all the nutrients it can get. So I have recently learned about the seeds!

I harvested mine as soon as they look OK to harvest. Within months. But it did take 2 years to flower.

Thank you for the comment. You don't need to wait until the seed finishes. In fact, it is best to separate them before they start to flower. Flowering is energy intensive and draws energy from the rhizomes. Since you enjoy the blossoms, I would recommend dedicating a couple of plants as mother plants-- and divide them before they flower (aka bolt.) At the same time, garlic chive grow like weeds and it is possible to divide them at your convenience.

Thanks you for the words of encouragement. Awesome to hear that you're getting into growing vegetables. The Chinese classic vegetables are fun to grow and cook up.

Thanks. If you see them at the market and want to give them a try, they are good in fried noodles as well. I recommend cutting them into two-inch sections. Like green onions, barely cook them so they are slightly crunchy. :)

***** 👍🏼

Awesome, thanks! I get more into this whenever I get time to make videos where I use ingredients from the garden to cook up dishes. You can also find more posts focusing on food and history on my Instagram account ;)

@@neverenoughdirt I like a couple Indian films that focus on foods & cooking.

Thanks! and thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, Bob. Hehe, some of the plants and dishes I cook up makes things really ambiguous; don't they? I really enjoy learning about different cultures and cultures within cultures. Food and plants are great gateways. That is wonderful; I hope you guys get to show us your redone pond. Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it.

Have a good evening our friend.

Y'all as well :)

'evening, fellow green thumb dude. Likewise, always nice to meet other gardeners. These plants start slow from seed but, man, before you know it, you've got a field of them. Thanks for checking out this video.

Dude.. I know there's "never enough dirt". lol

haha. YUP!!

Greetings, Ramon. I wish you many years of dividing your garlic chives. Funny, we both count the seasons we've completed ;D

They can take a lot, yup. Especially when their roots establish; which happens quickly. Invasive in wetter climates. They spread quickly through the many seeds that they produce.

Thank you for your comment. I agree, it very interesting that garlic chives form rhizomes while the rest of the alliums form bulbs. It's a slow start at first with seeds but you'll have more plants than you know what to do with in no time!! Seeds too!!!

Thank you, sir. Nice to have you on the channel. I appreciate your support. :)

The roots surprise me every time I dig them up. I cant imagine what it would look like if I left them for more than a year. Awww. I feel you. I have one four legged kid that likes to sample things in the garden. The upshot is that they got to enjoy it. Keep watering your chives. If the roots are under there, they'll pop up!

Note to all: The onion and garlic family is considered toxic to dogs. I'm not sure about cats.

You're welcome, Sherri. I am glad the information was helpful. Thanks for checking this video out.

Never Enough Dirt I followed your video and dug mine up and replanted smaller sections of rhizome in a container. Looking forward to how it turns out!

Wishing you lots of big plants! I cant believe it's already that time of year. I need to divide them up again.

Other than saving the seeds (which I will do), do you only eat garlic chives fresh? Or can you dry or freeze them to use during the winter?

You're welcome :)

You're welcome, Chris. Thanks. I am glad this video was helpful and that you have some garlic chives to grow. I also appreciate your comment and feedback. Thank you again.

Thank you, man. :D

You can find the recipe in one of my videos or on YT ;D kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNmle8emyc2Zd5c.html

I will give one to my local Thai Hybrid Restaurant at end of my street !!!!! She will LOVE it. .... :-)))

Thank you, Shane. Thanks for commenting. I am sure the camomile gave a good try. I hope you get lots of nice chives! That's really nice of you to be sharing. I am sure they will enjoy fresh chives grown with love. Speaking of Thai restaurant, you may want to check out my video on Holy Basil. It's long video but after the video you may be interested in growing Kra Prao (Thai Holy Basil)? All the best, Brian

Thanks. Pepsi Cola is my favorite kind of cola :D

Thank you, Candace. It is nice to let some of the flowers. I too enjoy the flowers. --brian

Two years will come and go before you know it! 😝

Funny story with a great ending. How are you using them?

Hello, PANDAK1NG. That's great that you're growing garlic chives. You've picked a good one to start with. hmmm, for the first year, I would not recommend cutting the plant. I would imagine that allowing the plant to grow during the first year will give it a chance to develop its roots. However, I am an advocate of experimentation and seeing for yourself. Perhaps, you can try following the recommendation on a some plants to compare how they grow? In the first year, my advice would be to allow the plant to mature in a sunny location. Maintain regular watering (moist but not water logged). Balanced fertilizer or compost is also a very safe bet. Very nice that you found the channel and great to have you here. Happy gardening :) --brian

How do you find out what zone you're in? I'm in central Utah, so we get extreme cold and extreme heat....

@@fomocowboy farmer almanac. Put in your zip code and it will tell you.

Thank you :)

Nice growing!

Do you have any tips on growing from seed? I'm struggling so much here in Australia!

@@katyb2793 not sure what could help. In the UK temperatures are lower than in Australia, maybe this had and effect. First I use small pots and grow chives inside my house. Once they grow about 15cm, then I transfer them to my garden (remove pot and put in soil. It was easy. The chives still grow incredibly strong and plentiful.

@@mateuszrakowski1203 we've actually had unusually cold weather here (snow down to 1000m this week even though it's supposed to be summer). I've managed to sprout some in jars on the windowsill and they're finally growing, albeit really slowly. They're so delicate though, transferring them to pots won't he easy I think. I also found soaking them in water for 2 days helps. I'm not sure why it's so difficult, but at least i have some going. Thanks so much for your help :)

Thank you. :) Those are all tasty ways to enjoy garlic chive. I have never heard of garlic chive flower sauce until just now. Very interesting. Also recently discovered is that the green seed pods are supposed to be stronger in taste. ...how is the sauce normally used?

The sauce is served over rice dishes or with lamb dishes such as boiled mutton in Northern China. It is also a common condiment for hot pot. It has strong garlic and chive flavor, so a little bit goes a long way.

Sounds very interesting. Will have to seek this out and try!

Where to purchase? I cannot remember seeing them in stock anywhere. If any place, try Armstrong Nursery.

How many times can you harvest them in year ?

@@dingdong6005 They grow back pretty fast. Like a month or so.

Can never have too many gardeners in the neighborhood. They are a good bunch ;) They surprised me as well at first-- still cannot believe that they and other veggies (like artichokes) take at least a couple of years. Thanks for checking in and have a happy Friday.

@@neverenoughdirt . J

I appreciate that very much :) They really do! Cant believe he's already 2! Thank you!

(odd, this evening YT shows that there is no reply to your comment). Only from rhizomes and seeds, yes. Surprisingly, two years comes and goes pretty quickly. For rhizomes, try ebay or etsy. I've seen them there before.

Greetings. Thanks for sharing. It is nice to know that garlic chive thrives at 700m. That spread sounds delicious.

My container is a repurposed container. When residential collection of recyclable material first began they used this container. It has drainage holes, yes. If you're looking to grow in a container, one that can provide the plants with 10 inches of soil would work best.

Thanks!
