Chives
Chives are an essential herb in every kitchen garden.
It is widely used in cooking, to flavour soups, sauces, goes great with cheese and fish dishes.
You can give it a haircut and it just keeps on growing. Toss the cuttings straight into your dishes to brighten them up.
Care: Best grown in moist, well drained soil in a sheltered, sunny position.
Did you know chives also have a beautiful purple flower, which can be tossed into a salad to add a burst of colour!
Chives are also known for their insect repelling properties so they have as much place in your garden as they do in your kitchen!
