Growing Garlic Chives And Scallions (2008-02-03)
I didn't know burying garlic that has sprouted and grown roots would produce garlic chives. I grew garlic long time ago and never thought of eating the green shoots, what a waste! But now that I know, I've been harvesting garlic chives for my cooking, so yum. And the shoots just keep on growing; the more you harvest, the faster they grow!
I do the same to scallions/green onions and they also provide non-stop crop. Just plant 5cm of the bottom of store-bought scallions in the soil and they shoot up really fast. This is a great thing for me because green onions are pretty expensive here in Tokyo.
