Now is the time to: shear back chives to about 2" from the base once the flowers have gone over. If you're going to use the leaves for cooking, pick out the flower stems as they have a bitter taste. #advice #tip #chives
Did mine at the weekend @mikethegardener #great minds 👍
I'm still waiting for my flowers to even bud!
Great tip, I didn't know. I just picked off the spent flowers today.
@Diane76 you must be at the very top end of our land...!
