The hidden green treasure you've been lacking in your yard is chives! Here's why you should give them a try:
They can grow in sacks, small plots, containers, or the boundaries of fields, among other places. They don't require deep soil or a lot of room.
Water-wise, they may withstand dry spells better than many vegetables because they are a robust herb. Ideal for our climate!
Aphids and other insects can be repelled by planting chives next to tomatoes, carrots, or sukuma wiki. Fewer chemicals are required!
Eat and earn: Healthy eaters, hotels, and urban markets all adore their subtle onion flavour. You can sell seedlings, dried bunches, and fresh bunches.
reduces the expense of purchasing onions: When you can cut fresh chives from your garden every day, there's no reason to purchase imported spring onions.
Beautiful purple flowers draw bees, which aid in pollinating your other crops, making the garden more aesthetically pleasing.
Start with a small number of seeds or seedlings. Leaves will continue to grow again if you cut them off at the root. A real "cut-and-come-again" winner!
