I have a beautiful and delicious patch of chives growing in my garden.?

Question

Can I bring it inside to continue harvesting from during the winter? How should I do this?

Answer 1

In late summer, dig the clump of chives out of the garden and place in a small pot filled with a good potting mix (do not use one with added fertilizer). Leave the pot outside, in order for the chives to establish themselves in the container. As late fall approaches, continue to leave outside until the tops die back and the roots freeze. The plant needs to go through a cold, dormant period in order to send up shoots again. After a few weeks, bring the pot inside and place in a sunny windowsill. The plant should start growing again in a few weeks, supplying you with fresh chives during the winter months

Answer 2

I believe you can... Get a clean, medium sized clay pot- big enough to hold the amount of chives you want to grow. Then (in the Fall- before the cold weather hits), dig up a chunk of chive plants from your garden & put them in the pot. Place the pot in a cool, sunny window- & water them once a week. You should have fresh chives all Winter long! :)
