Very Wet at Yorkshire Lavender
Posted on Friday 26th February 2010
The Bog Garden looking particularly boggy today!
Today is wet and horrible and Julia is potting-up garlic chives - Garlic chives or Chinese chives, as these plants are sometimes
called, are a close relative of ordinary chives, but the normal mild onion flavour is replaced by a pleasantly sweet garlic flavour, especially when the leaves are young.
The other difference being garlic chives have a flat leaf as opposed to ordinary chives which have a round leaf. There are also
'Scottish Giant' chives which are very hardy.
