Garlic Chives

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My garlic chives seem to thrive on neglect. Once in awhile I remember to sprinkle some water on them. They were grown from native non-GMO seeds and therefore are adapted to this climate. They look like grass until you get close and catch a whiff of garlic. When I cut them, they grow right back. Not only are they adaptable to their environment, they are also a great substitute in recipes such as a loaded baked potato. They once resided in the raised garden but now are in their own pot where they are quite content.

Characteristics: Low maintenance; Like a trim now and then; Transplant well
Water: They appreciate a sprinkle here and there
Sun: They do well in partial shade
Companions: Beets; Lettuce: Tomatoes: Kale; Cabbage; Brassica; Carrots (improve their flavor)
Enemies: Peas; Beans
