Harvesting Chive Seeds or Going to Seed
Is it me, or does it seem like everything in the garden is blooming and setting seed a little too early this summer?
I think my chives have 'bolted' so I've chopped them back and saved the dried flower heads to collect the seeds.
Of course, there aren't very many flower heads because I have a bad habit of picking the flowers and eating them as I stroll around the garden. I must have been a rabbit in a previous life.
With a little luck, the weather will cool down and the chives will put on another flush of growth.
Note to self: DO NOT EAT THE FLOWERS

I would agree with you on this one! I don't know know why this is as we have had more cool days. You gave me a chuckle about being a rabbit in a former life! Lovely chives friend!! Happy Wednesday to you! Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteLovely post, and I'm impressed that you're collecting the seeds. Someone once told me I was a canary in a former life...which would explain my fear of cats!
ReplyDeleteI agree, everything in the garden seems to be early this year.
