Growing chives from seed is a popular way of starting an herb garden. It offers fresh herbs all year round instead of having to wait until the plants grow and then replant them outdoors. If you have never grown herbs from seeds before, learning how to plant and maintain your own herb garden is a great learning experience. You can also learn a lot from other people’s experiences when they share their secrets about herb gardening.

If you are interested in planting chives, you need to know the best conditions for growing them. They are best if they are growing in partial shade and full sun. A sunny window will provide them with enough sunlight to grow well, but they do better if they get about half hours of direct sunshine each day. The cooler the weather is outside, the more shade they need to grow well. They can tolerate frost, so plan your planting based on that.

Some of the most popular chives flowers are the white, blue, red, purple and gold. You can pick seeds that are a pure white or those that have different colored flowers. Some colors look better together than others.

When growing chives from seed indoors, you will want to keep your pots about six inches deep, but not too deep. A good rule of thumb is that if your potting medium is dry, it is ready for transplant. Most seed indoors should have a protective covering. Place your seed at the bottom and water gently. Remove the plant from the pot after it has grown to about three to four inches. Keep it out of direct sun and place it in a dark place.

Most herbs do better in pots rather than seeds. It is important to make sure you select plants that will thrive in your climate. Also, you want to be sure to remove dead leaves or blossoms before plowing them away. It may take several growing season to get your herb garden established. Most people will have a garden by the time their first child is born.

One of the problems with planting chives seeds germinate in garden soil is that they tend to be bitter. If you use low nitrogen fertilizers or don’t water the plants often, you could end up with an unpleasant taste in your mouth. If you are growing chives from cuttings, you might want to make a full seedling planting a part of your gardening efforts.

If you plan to make a full plant from seedlings, you will need to find a sunny spot with good drainage. Chives do not like being over-watered. In addition, if the area you choose is not large enough for growing a large quantity, you might consider compacting the soil. Compacted soil will allow water and nutrients to be absorbed more quickly by the roots. If you have a small pot, you can try growing them in one hole in the ground, covering them with a layer of compost. A larger pot will allow several holes to be filled with compost.

When growing chives from seed, it is important to provide your plants with everything they need to grow healthy and strong. The right fertilizers and soil care are essential. Chives tend to grow slowly and mature in three years. If you are growing more than a few at a time, it is a good idea to divide each plant into three separate pots before planting them.

Harvesting and planting are easy once you have decided on what size your seed will be. Harvesting your plants will only take about three weeks. Keep in mind that harvesting should be done just after the last frost. After harvesting, your plants will be cold and dormant for a few months. If you harvest in the spring, the leaves will be green and some of the little buds will be visible. This is a perfect time to clip the plants gently with a pair of garden shears.

Planting is another simple step towards beginning your indoor herb garden. Start by preparing the soil by adding compost to it. Next, choose the herbs you want to grow and place them in pots or small containers. Make sure the pots are large enough to hold all of the plants’ needs without overcrowding.

Finally, we’re going to cover the flowering phase of the plant. Flowering chives go through two distinct phases during their growing seasons, the Myrtle flower phase and the scarlet flower phase. During the Myrtle flower season, the flowers start out large and bright, then they turn a purplish red color. During the scarlet flower phase, the flowers change to a deep pink or rose pink color. Both of these bloom at least twice a year, so you won’t have to worry about replanting if you decide to move your plants indoors.
