The old Chinese Chive plants are not thriving at all. They are perennial but I think they are just too old. Some may be twenty years old. Plus, they didn't get good treatment last year. I think some will recover but doubt we will get a lot of meals from them. So I planted more seeds from what I saved last summer. They germinate quickly, about 5 days after planting, on a heating mat.
It takes quite a lot to get enough for a meal. I will continue to try to revive the previous bunches. We may get some meals from them. The seedlings may not be big enough in their first year. So we may have to buy some at the Asian market. That's OK but of course home grown is better.
Starting them now, giving them lots of TLC, maybe I can speed the process.
