Hi Paul, we're having trouble getting hold of these garlic chive rhizomes here in kampheang pet. Everyone tries selling us spring onions or garlic lol!
Any chance you'd be willing to sell us some?
Cheers Leigh & Toon.
Please let me share my garlic chives story with you and others. About 10 years ago, I had an old, dried little clump of garlic chives I thought to give a chance of growing so I planted them under a rose bush in my back yard (garden). They popped right out and within a couple of years took over the area under the rose bushes. This plant is incredibly prolific because of the huge number of seeds produced in the fall. I simply ignored the plants and let the seeds spred naturally. This became a problem because in late October, my area is subject to very strong winds for days and days. In my fenced back yard, the wind eddys and spreds the garlic chive seeds throughout my back yard.
Within 5 years, about 1/4 of my back yard had garlic chives popping up, producing seeds and spreading. Now after about 10 years since I planted that first little dried clump, about 1/3 of my back yard is covered with garlic chives. What is remarkable is I live in an area of the U.S. that is arid and receives very little rain or snow. I don't water the garlic chives but they do just fine!
Several years ago, I took the time when all the seeds were produced to cut and collect all the seeds produced in my yard before the winds came. I filled a pint jar to the top with nothing but individual seeds! I now mow them to try to top the plants before the seeds are produced, but there are too many, popping out of the ground where ever the seeds blew.
So, the moral of my story is to manage the seeds that are produced by this plant or you too could be overrun by them.
After seeing this video, I bought garlic chives in a 4" pot at the garden center. I harvested the top, then divided the ~16 roots into 5 new clumps which are doing well. I made garlic chive pesto with the tops I cut off before dividing -- great with fish or just spread on a piece of sourdough bread.
It’s in humane too break those poor plants apart like that 😁
Always a pleasure to watch pal thanks for taking us along !
lol, plants have feeling too.
bought garlic chive seeds by mistake, so glad to find this video.
Thanks for sharing this. I’d love to see the fermentation process!
I am happy I found you two. I appreciate your love for gardening. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
And I have been doing this all wrong for 69 years. thank you very much. All the best from Manitoba Canada.
lol, too funny.
You're doing it wrong....
This helped so much with my abundance of garlic chives!! I can harvest it more efficiently and gift the root pieces to neighbors. A wonderful plant, thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
That is awesome, glad that your sharing the crop as well, I hope they keep on giving you good harvests. This is a winner crop for me, they just keep giving.
I can't wait to have a garden like yours. Thanks Paul.
It really is nice picking food out of the garden and knowing how healthy it is. I ate a handful of beans today, they never even made it into the house, can't get fresher than that.
Great harvest Paul. Thanks for sharing. ☺
Thanks Jack.
Thank you! Someone just gifted be a bunch if garlic chives. This video definitely helped.
Man I always love watching your farm videos!
Thank you.
Wonderful information thank you for showing me I only have regular chives next spring I will plant garlic chives
This is as easy as it gets for us, a true cut and come again plant, forever, I like easy.
good morning PAUL that was an amezing video from garlic chives lots of produce from that small garden bed thanks
You don't need a lot of space to grow food, if you grow the right crops.
Woah that's some crazy growth overnight! Thanks for sharing awesome to learn something new!
This would be a good plant to do a time-lapse video on, amazing how much they will grow in a week.
How I wish I can have that kind of garden here in Connecticut . Thanks again for sharing what happen to Leo he is out of the picture this time.
You can, but only for a few months a year...lol
I planted some last year in the bird table bed they did survive the winter. I have clumps of normal chives all over the garden. I will split the garlic chives and spread the love. Amazing how fast they came back
They are amazing growers, my corn is doing good too, have 2 batches planted now, fingers crossed I get some corn this year.
I should be harvesting corn soon ;-)
Your soil looks great. Adding compost makes a big difference.
It does help, but it has been a slow process.
Thats awesome! I have garlic chives & im looking forward in ur next video so I can make some fermented garlic chives! I gotta split mines up too thanks🤙🏽
Another video I need to do, I should start a list...lol
The bug's-eye view looked like a bamboo forest~❤️
I didn't think about that but yes it does...lol
Wow...Chive lawn ! Looks like really well made concrete raised bed. Thinking of making one. Do you have a video on how to build it?
Nice idea 💡...
Thank you so much 🥰
That is a great bed.
Do you have any video of the concrete tub being made,
or an empty one?
I would be most interested in trying one here.
OMG I subscribed to your channel just to hear you laugh! ❤
lol, thanks.
Awesome clip, thank you! 😊
Thank you.
Very interesting! I would love to see how you ferment the garlic chives. This is one of my goals to learn how ferment more foods.
Me too
A lot of people asking for that video...lol
One day I will get it done.
Very clear sir thank you
great video! hope that you will show how you preserve these garlic chives by fermentation!
I have planned to make the video for a long time, one day...lol
Awesome!
Hey mate looks great need to get some of them. The wife said she has never seen them that big
This is the same plant as everyone else around here has, the only secret is good soil and time, most people don't let them grow long enough. Some very nutrient-rich fish water might help as well.
my chives is on their second year in the soil and it's still baby chives like it was germinated from seeds, am I doing something wrong? keep an update on this video!
Great video! Do you have to dig up the root and divide it after you harvest? Won’t the existing roots grow back without being dug up? Just started growing these and love the flavor! Thanks!
I want to know why they didn't just leave the clutch of roots there too. Maybe they just divided it for teaching us how.
Beautiful looking chives
They sure are.
So here I was thinking that 'garlic chives' was the green part of garlic, WRONG! They are a plant in its own self, such an INCREDIBLE Plant, your Missus and you got all that bed from just 6 root stocks! I wonder if this plant is available here in North America or is it an indigenous veggie, only to be found in southeast Asia? Ah,....anticipation, waitin' for your Missus and you to show us how you preserve the garlic chives! :)
It's in America, I have seen people there grow it.
I am really looking for seeds to plant garlic chives but i can't find where to buy.
Wow!!!!!! Nice vid!!!
Thank You
That really is impressive mate. I'm dead jealous.
Give it a try, I am sure you will have the same luck.
This was very fascinating !! I missed the video in which you planted these. Did you plant these from garlic cloves ? Or is this something local ? Do they produce garlic bulbs ? I have never been able to grow garlic here , after a while the whole stem rots. Would love your inputs .
Garlic chives and garlic are not the same plant. I can't grow garlic either, they always rot at ground level. These are planted by separating the roots like I did in this video.
nature is amazing man,
It really is.
Hi, Can it be grown when the temperature is around 35 degrees Celsius, or does it like to wait until the temperature drops below thirty degrees?!
how much to cost to buy a land house and lived over there?
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for having a look.
Ill be trying like that next time. Save buying seeds each year.
Cheers
The plant that keeps on giving.
I would really wish to see the preserve method, quite curious
One day I will get that video done.
I love Chinese Chives!! Thank you so much
No problem.
Hi mate looks good they are tasty in mashed potato keep up the good work
I have not had them with mashed potatoes in a long time I agree.
Wow, I never thought of that. Will have to try it..thanks for the tip! :)
Will check out the cooking channel after this video.
Thanks.
Wow good job 👍
Thanks
Ty my father used to grow chives
Awesome.
Hello 👋 thanks again for the good video. Can you sell it chives
I live in FL. Do you think this plant will grow fast? Do I have I to block the sun or it has to be planted in semi shaded area? Thank you.
I have mine planted in Simi shade, my garden is under 50% shade cloth. My climate here is very similar to South Florida.
@@lifeinthailand Thank you.
I like garlic chives
Good stuff i bet theyre gonna taste great,its good when the mrs joins you :}
I agree, but she is not all that interested anymore.
I saw guy from Thailand doing it like this - didn't believe him!
I always see people cut the leaves at the top. Is it okay for the plant to cut so low?
It is ok chives are like edible grass
How many times can I cut them before they die off?
I have been cutting the same plants for years with no issue.
Thanks! Just had someone give me a huge chive planter with flowers and I would have screwed that up! Sub'd! :)
Good deal, hope they do well for you.
nice i need to get me some
Very easy to grow, easier than the plants you normally grow that is for sure...lol
lol the plant i grow .grow like weeds.lol
lol
So the chives is just the blades Right?
Most of the plant, but they have a round white bottom as well.
Don need anything, and they grow like crazy. Got tons of them in my backyard, at least I got vegetable to eat in case of the Covid apocalypse happen.
Way too late to harvest! When it grows for more than 5 leaves you can harvest it already! I love garlic chives !
I need seeds. I'm from India. Can you send me seeds I will pay.
Just like haircut
My haircuts are very similar.
ok, so if you cut them they will grow back. good to know.
Thailand, nature on steroids.
Only in my garden.
I think your chives are too late to harvest! I was told if the chives has five or more leafs then we shall cut them. Otherwise it will be too chewy
