    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🤣.

    What a wonderful video presentation! The video was brilliantly put together, edited to a very high standard, and your narration was relaxing and very easy to listen to. And the best part was the comprehensive information you provided, from collecting seeds, to growing and maintaining chives, and harvesting and storing, and even some recipes! If only all videos were made to this standard. Amazing. Thank you for your passion.

    I love my chives, I moved them a few years ago (by the way I would suggest avoiding that, I'm still finding them in the old spot 2 years later) and haven't done anything with them other then a splash of water every now and then since, and they're basically planted on hard packed clay but I still get enough to eat with my eggs three or four times a week from only three plants.

    Thanks for the video. In terms of the garlic chives, I know that there's at least two varieties. One of them has white flowers and has slightly broader leaves, the one with pink flowers half an hour leaves. I find the one with the narrow leaves are more tender. In terms of the flowers, the flower stalks can be tough, but you can break it off at the area where it snaps on its own. And use the tender parts for eggs or stir fries.
