Sowing

The process of sowing Chives with Medium Leaf is straightforward and does not require specialised skills. Proper soil preparation is key to ensuring the plant can grow unhindered. Regular watering and protection from weeds will undoubtedly support healthy growth.

Sowing Depth

For optimal results, chive seeds should be sown at a depth of 1-2 cm. This depth provides the seeds with the right amount of light and moisture, encouraging germination and the growth of young plants.

Direct Sowing Period

When should you sow Chives with Medium Leaf directly into the ground? The optimal period is April, when the soil is sufficiently warmed, and the risk of frost is minimal. This allows the plants to root quickly and develop.

Sowing Period Under Cover

When should you sow Chives with Medium Leaf under cover? You can start as early as March, allowing for an earlier start to cultivation and the first harvests in spring. Under cover, the plants are protected from adverse weather conditions.

Planting Time

The best time to plant chives is in May when weather conditions have stabilised. Plants planted at this time develop quickly and provide abundant yields throughout the season.

Plant Spacing

The correct spacing is 30x30 cm, which provides each plant with adequate space for growth and development. This distance also facilitates care and harvesting.

Site Conditions

Harvest Period

Harvesting chives can be done from May to October. Regular trimming of the leaves stimulates the plant to produce new shoots, ensuring a constant supply of fresh herbs throughout the season.
