11.10.07 ALLIUM ALWAYS


Several years ago my wife planted garlic chives in one of the flower beds. Its a beautiful and useful plant. Grass green ribbon-like leaves and pretty white flowers are used in asian cooking for a mild garlic flavor. It is a perennial, the clumps expanding slowly. This time of year the flower stalks turn to seed which spread easily throughout the garden starting new plants whenever a seed can find a tiny bare spot of ground.

05.20.07 HERBAL HATS


The Chives in our herb garden have been blooming for about a week now. Their little pink/purple fuzz balls bouncing in the breeze like fairy balloons.
