Tulips care

chivesIf you haven’t done so already, then it’s quite time now to get some of your outside supply in a pot to survive the winter indoors.

Although I have a so called "root parsley" that survives winter outdoors. But normal parsley, chives, sage and thyme better survives when you take them inside the house.

Anything fresh to give you the extra vitamins in winter is needed I find, so this is a simple way to "prolong" the normal season.

Chives

I just love chives (Allium schoenoprasum) cut in pieces over any fresh salad. Especially when the nice purple flowers are blooming, it’s a great show of on any fresh salad.

Each autumn, I do take a big bunch of chive plants and put them in pots to survive winter indoors. And I do find it has a nice decorative touch as well, although so far I never succeeded to get the purple flowers blooming inside a pot in winter.

It seems that autumn is here to stay, finally :-)

So yesterday we harvested our chicory roots, which was a nice way of spending a decent sunny day.

In the picture above: quite healthy looking chicory plants and on the left some skinny leekplants we got from our cousin…

I admit, we were quite late with planting these leek plants, yet when the fridge is full, the best place to store your leek is outside!
