    I am blown away by the level of details, the amount of research, and the hands on experience you have in this video. Thanks! and hope you keep doing more of them.
    Ps. Glad you included container grow - I don’t have a garden and indoor container is all I can do.

    I started a chive plant in a container last year. We had a cold winter so I figured it died. But! It came back and blossomed! I’m so excited for this hardy plant and looking forward to using the blossoms for vinegar and all the other uses you mentioned. Thanks so much. I’m a new gardener and have so much to learn but thankfully we are supplied with some easy plants to learn with. And good videos like yours!

    Oh wow! That was very thorough! I was going to plant my packet of chive seeds, but thought I’d check YT to
    See if there was any advice on chives. I am in zone 9. The package says it is a perennial, but due to my hot temps, it may be an annual.
    We’ll see. Your video helped me very much! I will have to be patient if it takes 21 days to sprout. Usually I am freaking out way before then, thinking they were dud seeds🤣.
