I love chives. I love the way they look, and I love the fact that they are apparently indestructible, even in Colorado. They are cheerful volunteers, but I don’t find them as invasive as mint.

They're also one of the herbs I enjoy cooking with, but insist on fresh. One of the few things I planted this spring was a pot of chives, so I'd have some fresh one after my move (provided I remember that potted plants need to be watered).

I've actually not used the herbs that I grow in past years but plan to do so this year.

Cheerful. What a nice description, and they certainly do appear to be.

Thank you. (Love the cat and moon icon.)

It's not quite Mr. Whiskers--no notch in the right ear--but it reminds me of him somewhat and comforts me some.

Love the chives, very cheerful. Belated birthday greetings! I hope your day was wonderful.

I didn't realize chives were so pretty when they bloom.
