How to Grow and Care for Chives in the Indian Climate
Sowing:
Soil: Use well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.
Planting: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed trays or directly in the garden bed. Space seeds about 6-8 inches apart.
Care:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry spells.
Sunlight: Chives thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth.
Thinning: Thin seedlings to about 6 inches apart once they are 2-3 inches tall to allow ample space for growth.
Harvesting: Chives can be harvested 60-90 days after sowing. Cut the leaves close to the base, leaving about 1-2 inches for regrowth
