Chives are Budding in Deck Garden / myLot

Was out checking out the plants in my yard earlier. Forgot about the chives. I noticed one tiny bud so far. I usually have enough to use in my salads and potatoes in the summer. They start blooming in the spring. Delicate little purple blooms to brighten my day. Spring is definitely here. Although the weather has cooled off after the rain. Nothing wrong with that. Snapped this chive bud and will share more as the bloom. Do you like chives in your salads and potatoes?

Yes, I love it, as do garlic and onions, but I try not to eat it often for breath.

I only eat a little chives, not strong at all.

They're not a major part of my culinary repertoire,though I enjoy them. I'm going to check my balcony now. I thought I saw some corn poking through yesterday.

Fresh corn is good. Chives are just a little sprinkle on the top for me. More for looks than taste.

I don't recall having chives. Maybe a buried seasoning.

Similar to green onion but not as strong.
