Title: chives
Post by: debster on May 22, 2007, 21:17:29
Hi I planted some chives a few weeks ago in a pot and nothing, everything else has grown but not these any ideas, could it just be a dodgy batch of seed? cant remember where I bought them though

Hi Debster :)

my chives took what seemed like an age to germinate - I'd just about given up but the 2 weeks of rain recently seemed to do the trick.  Maybe just make sure they're nice and damp ?? 

good luck  ;D

Sowed mine on plot next to carrots and they took absolutely ages to germinate. Up now since the rain too.
