Huge thumbs up for showing the progressive results after cutting. Excellent video!
Thank you! 😊
I love how you made it short and sweet and perfectly answered my question
Glad you found it helpful ☺️
That was rapid growth! Thank you for the tip my friend 😊
You’re so welcome! Thank you for watching my friend!
Excellent video right to the point... No BS video
Cheers 🇨🇦
Thank you! :)
Thanks for your wisdom. I wasn't sure how low I could go when I cut them back. Thanks again!
You’re welcome! If it’s a new planting, I’d wait to cut back until it’s established or at least after 6 months and sparingly. I usually wait after a year to harvest more often to allow them to establish. ☺️
We love chives too. I didn't realize they were cut and come again. Great video. 😁
Thank you! 😊
@@LearnToGrow1 You're welcome 😊
Great video, Silla! I've learned something today. Thank you! ❤

Thank You from Vermont
You’re welcome and greetings from Washington State! Thanks for watching! Misilla
Do you have any advice on how to store them after you have cut them. I tried to dry some on the window sill but they just shrivelled up and turned yellow.
Don’t expose them to light , it will alter their color and flavor as well as beneficial constituents.
Hi here’s a video on freezing herbs. Thank you so much for watching!
How to Freeze Herbs - Two Ways To Freeze Herbs - Freezing Chives ua-cam.com/video/2yav2oaS-Gs/v-deo.html
Very nicely presented video! Thanks much for sharing your expertise!
Hi Rick, Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Really appreciate your time in giving tips to grow and harvesting chives.Is Green Dragon Chives similar to what you plant in this video?
Hi no problem! This are common chives with tubular leaves (Allium schoenoprasum), the Green Dragon Chives have flat leaves like grass. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate the effort put into this video.
Thank you!
@@LearnToGrow1 You are welcome. Have a good day now.
:D
You too, thank you!☺️
Thank you! Your videos are the best! I bet your helper is a tad taller, also, lol! Happy gardening!
Thank you so much Athena! Yes she’s grown so much!☺️💚
Wait to cut back chives when they’re established. In the first year, you can cut back 3-4 times. You can harvest or cut back more often in the following years or about once every 6-8 weeks as needed.
Thank you for sharing. What do you do to preserve the chive if not consumed right away? Or do you cut them to be consumed quickly?
Hi Crystal, You're welcome! You can freeze them. Here is a video.
ua-cam.com/video/2yav2oaS-Gs/v-deo.html
hi and thank you. I see that you chives are from the gaarlic family, would this work for onion chives as well?
thank you
Thank you! Chives are precious : )
You’re welcome and I agree! ☺️
Excellent video, I got a baby chive about a fortnight ago now I know what to do when I want some chives to eat
Thank you! That's great!
wow i was scared they wouldn't grow back after such shock!
Hi you can also divide them in the spring or fall for more plants! Here’s a link. Thanks for watching! Misilla

Thank you this is very helpful ⭐️
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
I was wondering if it was ok to harvest them before they flowered, thank you!
Hi! Absolutely! If they’re not allowed to flower, they will have more energy to produce more leafy growth.
Our chives are blooming but are growing in a weird spot that by the previous tenants. Is it too late to move them in my actual garden or should I have moved them earlier in the spring? I'll have to wait to do that next year then?
Hi Cecile, You can wait to move them when the weather is cooler, in the fall and they can be divided into several bunches. Here is a video on chives division. Thanks for watching! Misilla

Thank you for that video. I had no idea how to cut it and when. :)
You are so welcome!
Great video short and to the point
Thank you Sophia!
Thank you for the informative video
Thank you very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! You're welcome!
The flowers on them are so pretty though! If it is cut back to a inch or so, will they also reflower?
You can let them flower first then cut back and you will get more greens!
@@LearnToGrow1 Thank you!
You’re welcome!
The chives you trim off, can you freeze them if you aren't able to use them all right away?
Hi Yes you can freeze them. Here is a video...Thanks for watching! ua-cam.com/video/2yav2oaS-Gs/v-deo.html
@@LearnToGrow1 Thank you so much!!
Great video! How do you get your chives to grow this thick? Mine are super thin lol
Thanks Jasmin! They do best in full sun and I’ve noticed the ones in part shade tend to be leggy and thin. Make sure the soil is rich in organic matter. ☺️
Six hours or more of sun daily is best
Can you do this after it has fully bloomed the flowers?
Hi Brenda, Yes, unless you want to save the seeds.
What happens if they flower? Should they be dug up and new seeds planted?
If you want, you can let the flowers go to seed and collect the seeds or let the plants self seed, but they may grow wild. You can actually separate the plants if they’re established plants, two years since planted. Here’s a link to separating them, but it’s best to do this in early spring or in the fall. Thanks for watching!

You can eat the flowers too.
Very helpful, thank you!
You’re welcome ☺️
Good video.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
thanks this helped a lot
You’re welcome! Glad to hear that. Thanks for watching!
Thank you !!😊
I'm still learning. I wasn't aware that cutting chives down would make them grow. I've been cutting a couple at a time when I'm making dinner. Can I cut chives while the blooms are in flowering stage? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love my garlic chives. It's one of my favorite herbs and I've been growing mine for four year's.
Hi yes you can cut back established plants at least 1-2 years after planting. The blossoms can be harvested cutting the stalks at the base. They’re great to use for chive vinegar, herb butter, or salads. If you cut off the blossoms right when they emerge and before they open it will put more energy into producing more leaves instead of seeds.
@@LearnToGrow1 : Awesome! Thank you so much. I use chives in almost every meal I make. I was just cutting what I needed when I needed it. I really wanted a bigger chive plant and couldn't figure out how to go about doing it. The information you gave me will go to great use. I'm now trying to grow more, but my seeds aren't popping. I thought about transplanting some of the existing chive plant to two of my pots. I'm hoping this will work. It's my fourth year gardening and I've had trial and error with it. I had rust for two of those years and figured out how to combat it organically. It was frustrating, but worth the fight. My fruit trees are blooming like crazy and my berry bushes finally look amazing. My chives were the only plant I never had problems with so it's kind of my favorite. I would just like more of it.😁
I’m so glad to hear your plants are flourishing! I hope you get a bountiful harvest! You can divide your chive plants, but wait till late summer or fall when it’s cooler or you can also do it in early spring. Here is a video I shared before. Have a great weekend! 💚

By the way keep up the good work!🙌🏽
You can eat the flower bulbs?
Yes, chive flowers are edible.
@@LearnToGrow1 Thank you for such a great and informative video. And for keeping it short and to the point lol.
Teach me how to take care of my cilantro! It hates me I swear.
Thank you so much for this video
You are so welcome! I uploaded a shorts video on harvesting cilantro :)
Here is the longer version of harvesting cilantro, and they do best in cool weather, spring and fall: ua-cam.com/video/XFxBMoYBjgY/v-deo.html
Can someone explain why it can only regrow 2-3 more times? Idk anything about plants so in my head it would make sense that something like this would last forever if the plant is well kept
Hi yes chives will regrow over and over and it is a perennial plant so it goes to a dormancy stage in winter then reproduces the following spring.
For new transplants allow it to establish for the first year and cut back about once every 3-4 months. Once established, it can be cut back once every 4-6 weeks during the season. I’ll upload a new tutorial on dividing the plants.
Plant in full sun and fertile and well-draining soil for best results.
Can we do this with onion chives also? Thanks
Hi Are you referring to bunching onions? If so, yes you can cut them back a a few times through the season. Just make sure the soil is fertile so the plants will continue to absorb nutrients.
Thanks
what do I do with them all
Hi Joseph, Chives have a mild garlic flavor so they can be used in many recipes. We put them in potatoes, eggs, pizza, pasta dishes or soups. Thanks for watching! Misilla
What are the watering needs? Mine is in a container
Hi keep the soil moderately most, not saturated. Water when the top inch of soil is dry to touch.
How do you store them
Hi you can cut them into small pieces, flash freeze then transfer to a freezer bag.
It reminds me people in stock market
Only 3-4 times?
Wait to cut back chives when they’re established. In the first year, you can cut back 3-4 times. You can harvest or cut back more often in the following years or about once every 6-8 weeks as needed.
Eye 👁 nah koh cebu cebu 😘
Salamat
Very cool video. It seems the youngster has noticed women wear make-up.
😊
Was rethinking that and wondered is she is using mouthwash.
I planted chives, and this is not what grew. They put the wrong seeds in the packet.
Oh no! Did you figure out which plant it is ?
Mine didn’t flower either. I’m using an aero garden . They end up with black seeds on the end?
Less talking please
