Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in water for a few hours before planting to enhance germination.
Prepare a seed-starting mix or use potting soil mixed with compost.

Sowing:

Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds in seed trays or small pots, covering them lightly with soil (1/4 inch deep).
Outdoors: After the last frost, sow seeds directly into the garden, spacing them about 1/4 inch deep and 12 inches apart.

Germination:

Temperature: Seeds germinate best at temperatures between 60-70°F (15-21°C).
Time: Expect germination within 7-14 days.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves and are strong enough to handle, transplant them into the garden.
Space the seedlings 12 inches apart to allow for proper growth.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy.
Pruning: Regularly trim chives to encourage new growth. Cut leaves at the base, about 1-2 inches above the soil level.
Pests/Diseases: Monitor for pests such as aphids and fungal diseases. Use appropriate organic or chemical treatments if necessary.
Harvesting: Harvest chives continuously once they reach 6 inches in height. This encourages more growth and ensures a constant supply of fresh chives.
