I like how you placed the smaller pot in the new bigger pot, filled in potting soil to match levels and then firmed up a ready made planting hole. I’ve been digging too deep or too shallow and having to redo it this Hole time. Thanks for the tip!
So glad you found it helpful. Thank you so much for your comment!
This is great, as I live in a big city and most clips are for the backyard in suburbs/country side. Not for everyone. For me I am mostly interested in container gardening starting from seeds, so this was perfect! I just bought chive seeds so I will try this out. I am following your clips for growing parsley and coriander from seeds! They all sprouted and just about to transplant them into bigger containers. I got deeper windowsil planters so I am transplanting them and keep them in part shade (only morning sun). Hopefully they won't bolt too soon! Thanks for the videos, quite nice!
Sounds wonderful. I don't have a big garden either and mostly do container gardening. If done right, you will be amazed on the possibility of plants you can grow in pots. Wishing you a great harvest and thank you so much for your comment! 😊🌱
Excellent!
Thank you so much😊
Thank you 👍
Thank you so much!💚😊
Thank you...I've tried growing chives once or twice but didn't get anything. I'm inspired to give them another go.😃
I inherited a garlic chive plant from my mother. It's at least 30 years old and doing great!
Your videos are excellent and super inspiring!👍
Chives are slow to germinate but usually are easy to grow. Wow 30 years!! Great job by you and your mother for taking such a good care👏👏
Happy gardening and thank you so much for always leaving an inspiring comment!💚
Thanks.
You're welcome. Thank you for your comment!
My chives came back after winter and grew the most beautiful flowers. I didn't know what to do next, so thanks for the video.
Wonderful! Happy gardening and thank you very much for your comment!
@@TowardGarden I'm learning to garden as part of my retirement plan, and it's almost hilarious how little I know. I'm constantly watching gardening videos now, and I really appreciate every bit of wisdom I find. Videos are so time consuming to make, and I appreciate them so much.
@@careya Glad to be of any help. You will learn so much by doing it. Your garden is your best teacher 😊Happy growing🌱💚
I have never gotten chives to grow from seed! I've always had to dig up and divide lol. I'll give this a shot, ty for the video!
Dividing them is a great option too. Happy gardening and thank you so much for your comment!
Very clever ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for your comment! 😊💚
I just started mine today.
Wonderful! Happy growing and thank you for your comment!
You water your seedlings the same as me! Poke some holes in a water bottle. I’ve tried so many different watering pales & this works the best.
Right on! the best way to gently water the seedlings. Thank you so much for your comment!
Great video! Is it too hot to start sowing chives seed if the temperature is already above 80-90°F?
Although chives prefer cool weathers, they grow quicker in warm weathers and if you keep them in part shade you can harvest leaves for a while. If you see they start flowering very early, snip off the flowers to extend harvesting time. Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!
can you send the link to where you bought the small and medium orange plastic pots? I love orange vs the usual black containers.
There are few listed on my amazon page you can check www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-3dd9a3b6/list/2RDH8JIP3GENI?tag=onamzgagikkes-20&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d . Look for 4 inch and 6 inch pots. Thank you for visiting!
Can I put them in the house or outside get some sunlight?
If indoors, put them in a sunny windowsill. And for outside, part sun or shade will work too. Chives don't necessarily need full sun to grow. Thanks for visiting.
I am a New subscriber. Thanks a lot for sharing this. Shouldn't we thin seedlings? Or its better not to disturb them?
Happy to have you with us👋 Chives usually starts in 1-2 stems but grow more as they mature. even if you thin seedlings and plant them individually, they will grow in bunches (in weeks). But if you decide to separate seedlings at the time of planting, just like onions disturbing roots is not an issue and they will thrive. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment and for subscribing!😊
@@TowardGarden thanks a lot for clarifying.. I really appreciate your help.
@SA-nk8sc glad to be of any help. Happy gardening!
Mine always grow thin is there any reason for this ????
It is hard to tell without seeing. Maybe it is due to not enough light, no fertile soil ... Either provide adequate light or feed more frequent. Good luck!
I know chives are extremely easy once you have some, but how long does it take for ONE seed to multiply and make a bunch? Everyone always grows them in bunches, it is hard to tell how individual plants behave.

Hiya. After seeding, can I keep them indoors at 15C - 21C until they start sprouting? Also, do I need to cover them with cling film until they sprout? And will seedlings survive 8C night time temperature if outdoors? Thanks.
Hi there. Yes you can keep them inside until they germinate. If you keep soil moist (but not soggy) you don't need to cover them. And yes, 8C is ok, chives prefer cold temperature. Hope this helps and happy growing!
@@TowardGardenokay great. Thanks for the info!
What's the song called?
Which general liquid fertilizer did you use?
I use Dr. Earth 1-1-1 or fish emulsion 5-1-1. Thanks
Can you give them 2-4 hours of evening sun instead if your options are limited? Maybe additionally watering a bit to keep them moist? Just planted them this afternoon.
I think so, you can grow them in part shade/part sun. they don't need too much direct sunlight. Happy growing and thank you for visiting!
how often do you water chives?
It depends on the growing condition. Chives are cold crops, so if it is cool, you will need to water them every 2-3 days. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and definitely don't let soil dry completely. Thank you for visiting!
How many times can you harvest this chives ?
Once established, you can harvest leaves every few weeks. They are perennial and will come back year after year, so basically you can harvest constantly. Happy growing and thank you for getting in touch!
@@TowardGarden Thank you so much for the details. Your videos are very helpful, excellent🧡🧡
@arsiembroidery so glad to hear it. Thank you very much for your comment😊💚
Infinitely many as long as you're nice to them!
Excellent vid! Subscribed 😃Thank you!
Aged mature+coir+perlite = 2 parts chicken manure: 2 parts coir: 1 part perlite?
that or equal parts work too. Doesn't have to be precise. Thanks.
Watering can is no longer available. Do you have other recommendations from Amazon or any other retailer?
Here is same item from different vendor amzn.to/3SFOWIH . thanks.
@@TowardGarden Also unavailable
@@wendyward2585 These are similar but smaller in size amzn.to/48CPFAn .
I thought you just drilled some holes into a plastic bottle!
@@lauracrittenden2478 The water bottle for the seeds, yes, it is same as you said. The other comment is asking about the watering can I used to water pots. thanks.

UA-cam has the mute option just for you. use it.
