- I hope you enjoy this video and my chive chatter! I like to harvest chives and dry them. I like to harvest before they bloom, and they grow back! I can harvest again same year or let them flower and beautify the space. If you don't grow chives, I hope this video will encourage you to do so. Thank you for visiting.

Chives not only come back but they volunteer all over, particularly if you aren't watching the flowers as carefully as you should. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.
Thank you sooooo much for this great video. I'm headed to my chive patch now because I finally know what to do with all of them!
If you let the flowers mature. You can just pick the apart they are yummy and beautiful in salads or as garnish on soup.
Oh my gosh, don't throw the flower buds away!!! They are delicious in a stir fry, I add them to omelets, throw them in soup, they are wonderful. I eat garlic and onion flower heads, as well as chives. They are little bites of flavor, with a pleasant texture if you only slightly cook them. when I have enough of them, I add them to another veggies, like asparagus and serve them as a side. If they are large, I cut them in half, so they cook evenly with the small ones. Added them to veggie fritters just two days ago! Try them! You will like them!
Thanks for the tip!
@@SuffolkSusie Glad you liked the tip Susie...here is another treat only gardeners get to eat...the flower heads that sprout on your Kale plants towards the end of the season. I harvest loads of them off my plants and they are delicious fried in butter, or a stir fry. Keep harvesting them and the plant will keep cranking them out. You will get a lot of yummy veggies, that you will never find in a store! Hope you try them!🥬
PS, I harvest them BEFORE they turn into yellow flowers. They are more succulent then, but once they turn into flowers, you can still add them to salads, just the flowers, as the stem gets tough by then. Experiment!
Thank you for this! Did not know the flowers were also edible! 😮 won't waste those ever again ❤
Love this tutorial ❤
We eat the bloom It’s the best part
Those scissors are so cool I’ve never seen them ever !! Wow
Thanks for the great info, instructions, and tips! So very useful! My chives are thriving and massive, and thanks to you I now know how to harvest and dry them!
The flowers go beautifully into a spring salad! Don't waste them they can also be sautedeed With spinach or string beans🌱
Thank you for sharing!
I can't wait til my chives get that big!
After draining your “salad”, place in a muslin tea towel, take it outside and use a brief swing motion to create centrifugal force. Quick and easy to “spin” out almost all the water After breaking two spinners I went back to the tea towel method which is fast and easy.
Great tip! I'm always looking for a good spinner and I'm always rolling lettuce and such in tea towels
On the flower i cut off the woody stem but keep the flowers, I eat those as well I love my garlic chives .
Great idea Susie!! Love those scissors, huge time saver!! We'll have to try this !!
Thanks for sharing!!
Cheers Jason and Colleen 🌱🌱🌱
Thanks for watching!
Such a great way to save chives! Awesome sharing!
ASMR CHIVES GARDENING :) VERY NICE VIDEO.
Hi Susie, I love everything. Your purple flowers are so pretty. Your chives look so good. Thanks for the great chive preserving tip. Susie. I love it. I have some herb scissors too lol. You just shared with me what they were lol. Chives do smell amazing, I love it...TFS👋🏾🥰👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️They are beautiful
Thanks I didn't realize you could dry them good information
Hi Susie, I love your video...your chives are beautiful...thanks for the preserving tip👋🏿👋🏿👍🏿👍🏿❤❤🥰🥰🤤🤤
Good information sister thanks for sharing
love the birdbath!
Great timing. My chives have a bumper crop this year! I just harvested a bunch and was wondering how to preserve them. Thanks so much for information.
That's a great idea and I love those herb scissors. I have a few chives come up in a planter on my balcony each year and they take forever to cut up with a knife. They're great in potato salad but dried ones will be super easy for soups. Thank you. :)
Beautiful garden! Thank you for sharing my new friend, have a fantastic weekend stay connected 💕🌷
I usually just throw the flower heads back on the ground to allow them to reseed. Then take the flower stems and keep them for making stocks or cut them up and put them in a spice bag into the stew pot or chilly pot (so they can easily be removed) as they have a nice strong flavor. I don't have the same kind as you do so I wonder if yours will get much bigger than they are now? Mine are the Chinese White Flowered chives and THEY ARE HUGE already have gotten 3 harvests this year alone! Never attempted to dehydrated after the last time. I tried to dehydrate them but they turned brown and lost all flavor! I'll have to try again now! Great video!
My favorite salad spinner was a cheap kitchen aid …I hare my OXO and others just don’t spin enough.
Good idea 👍to harvest them now. I was thinking to let them flower so that I get some more seeds.
So nice 😍
Thank you!
Nice! I have never seen the herb scissors before but now I want one. Just started learning to grow herbs this year, and my chive plants grew like crazy. Loved your video -- thanks!
Temu has them fairly cheap.
🇨🇦. I pick my herbs put them in a cup or bowl and go crazy with ordinary kitchen scissors. Very fast and no mess. Thanks for your video.
A very beautiful garden! I also like this business) A new subscriber is here. Great job!
Thanks and welcome
Good idea,my friend 👍👍❤️❤️ greetings from me 🙏
Very appetizing chives
big like 5 amazing presentations nice video
I have 18 double bricks around my new little garden. I put different herbs and flowers in them. Thanks for showing me how to harvest and use.
i have a farm school they learn how to grow and harvest the seeds and grow from them the exit year too they learn to harvest and dry their herds to make spices from them too i gown learning all of this also i was put up for adoption when i was born my great-great-grandparents adopted me I am the only one did gown a garden and use it too
now the children have got the taste of growing a garden and have the harvest from it to learn to collect the seeds too and to replant them exit year too they do have to take notice of the gardens too they learn to spell and write reports in that too the first year student struggle first few months you will see them learn to spell or do the math to
CHIVES I bought and powdered is bitter. What can I do
Hi Susie chives are one of my personal favourites and val does them virtually the same as you from what I've seen , we like cream cheese bagels with chives .😋😋
Can i freeze dry onion tops if so how long?
Thank you for your videos
I do what the same exact way you do
So after you cut them, do they just grow back on their own or o you have to do something to get them to grow back? Thank you. I just chopped some of mine and am following your lead.
They will grow back in under a month.
Where to get those scissors?
Could you put a link for the scissor? Also, maybe it's just my speakers but it was hard for me to hear you. Thank you. Good info.
Herb Scissors; www.amazon.com/Scissors-Stainless-Cleaning; I do have a low monotone voice... I have to remember to speak up. Thank you so much for visiting.
Okay the parts u call flowers, I’m not the professional gardener, but I was told those parts are the seeds for new/more chives. I was going to plant some this year, should we leave some of the flowered stems unharvested ?
Also, L💖VE the cement block.
If you want more plants then allow a few flowers to mature. The seeds spread like crazy or you can put tulle bags around the mature blossom (after pollination) to capture the seeds
is it OK to dry them direct sunlight?watching from Philippines
I slowly introduced them to the sun. Now direct sun is perferred. Thank you for visiting :)
Is there a reason for the only few second vinegar wash ?
HI for the responsable concern about remove bugs from vegetabl, a common reason for washing them with vinegar. It's always good to to take reprecautins fo food safelty!
Do you grow them from seed or a plant and they spread??
I grew them from seed and they return bigger every year 😃
Are there different types of chives? Mine have white flowers?
I have white flower chives it's garlic chives.😊
@patsyjohns3012
How long will they last in the jar
over a year!!!
Opps I meant Cuisinart,,, !

I have heard best time of harvesting is early morning because there is a much fresher taste.
You are using a broken salad spinner that is why it is not your favorite! You need to ensure the top base is attached to the top plunger.. you can clearly see where it snapped off when you lifted the lid.. yours is obviously broken. Also, you can get through all those chives MUCH faster with just a sharp chef's knife and cutting board.
