Hey,
I do plenty of flowers (mostly perennials), but I also have tomatoes, peppers, and mega herbs. I love a beautiful garden, but I also like production for the kitchen. Fresh chives are wonderful.
From my grandmother, I inherited a love of the perennial garden, but my mother planted edibles. Both find a home in my garden.
For some reason I seem t have the proverbial black thumb when it comes to flowers. They just don’t work for me.
The shrubberry around our house was here when we moved in 5 years ago. We trim it, but that is the extent of it.
OTOH, we add a few 100 square feet each year for herbs and veggies — it’s that mush less grass to cut!!!!!!
Do you dry your chives? I have a bunch and have heard they can be dried. What method do you use. I’m a novice.
