Up- Potting Over-Wintered Chive Seedling Pot 4 May 24.

 Last year I planted this container of chive seedlings some time last year.  It overwintered in the kitchen garden.  Now it's growing again.  I want to give them lots more room.

This is the before photo.


They looked pretty root bound.


Rather than tease the roots apart, I just sliced through the soil with a knife.


All of the roots seem to have reached outward, then wind around.  

I sliced it like a cake, into wedges.


Then planted in a much roomier container.


I don't think these will need much TLC.  They should do fine, until they overgrow this container too.

I find it much easier to grow chives in containers, than in-ground.  Much easier to keep weeds out.
