Anyone succesfully grown Chives from seed?

Funny!
not a single person
and people here think they can grow a victory garden!

Gosh. I just throw some seeds in a flower pot out back on the deck and the chives grow. I figure they are really weeds so they are hardy. Try not to "spoil" them. (I'm in NC so the temp isn't freezing all the time. The chives have wintered over.)

bit of soil.
bit of water.
seed out.
bit of water.
bit of light.
walla chives.

usually just broad spread (throw) seeds out on the ground in the spring and fall.

i liek this idea of stealing their buisiness for green onions to convert to chives and also seems, Tax free!?! Mwuahahaha!!!

I have grown them before, but I didn't know what to do with them (how to dry them for use) so they rotted in the pot

do you give it water only to the roots? water it from below*
keep them spread out enough so they don't mold and keep fresh air exchange going?

Yes , I did ,but I used an Aero Garden.

A few years ago I threw some chive seeds in the corner of a flower bed- they sprouted, and come back thicker every year- never fussed over them. The area they're in get morning light and then partial sun the rest of the day. To harvest them for winter I just chop and dry them.

Wow. Your Doomed. Chives are like weeds in my flowerbed

You probably have great soil. Check out the book All New Square Foot Garden by Mel Bartholomew. It goes great detail on how to mix soil so vegetables will grow if are not blessed with good soil.He also has a websight. www.squarefootgardening.com

Chive seeds require a period of chilling temperatures to help them break dormancy.

If you place the pot,( with well drained soil mixture to prevent rotting the seeds), outside for a couple of months during the cold winter weather,the seeds should sprout for you once the temperature of the potting mixture warms up in the spring.

Yes, I made the mistake of planting them in a plastic planter that I kept outdoors. They grew beautifully in the pot first and then all over my back yard. They were everywhere every year from then on.
