Does anyone have any experience growing chives? I planted them from seed and in the perimeter around my tree bed. They sprouted up well but died off soon later. I might have given them a drink of a too strong mixture of seaweed tea/molasses but I’m not sure this was the issue.

I've got chives growing, they just grow slow for me. I never really had a problem with them.

I’ve have chives in pots and basically ignore them. Planted one in a pot a few years ago and its seeds have blown into other pots ... where they have taken over. They come back year after year by themselves.

I planted some chives around the base of a tree, after I had started them in a pot, and they were needing to be repotted. They have been coming back year after year.

If your weather is too cold, you may have to treat them as an annual.

Chives don’t take much care. Aside from watering, I ignore them.

News just now saying this is the year for the 17 year cicadas.
