How to Get Started: If sowing from seed, start indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Transplant as soon as your soil is easily workable. Choose an area of your garden with full sunlight and moist, well-draining soil. Place plants 4-6 inches apart, and keep soil regularly moist. Test with fingers to determine if a watering is needed.

When to Harvest: Harvest your chives about 60 days after you sow the seeds. From then, cut plants bac monthly because they do grow extremely rapidly! Use a pair of kitchen shears to harvest your chives when needed. Toss them in one of your favorite recipes.

What to Plant It With: Onions, kale.
