Description
Chives lend a beautiful magic to the herb garden in spring. Blooming in May and June, the Allium Schoenoprasum, or chives, can be used as a salad garnish, and are beneficial to rose bushes as they emit an odor which repels aphids.
Regarding growing chives;
"I have to laugh whenever I think of chives because it reminds me of what a seasoned gardener said to me years ago: If you can't grow chives, find another hobby." ~ author unknown

Thanks so much Tom. They are in bloom here right now, so just couldn't resist doing them in watercolor.
