The chive seedlings are growing REALLY long. They flop over and get tangled up with one another, because of the breeze through the window. Should I clip them back a little, so that the leaves can stand tall more easily?

I cut my chives back several times per season. I think the fresh growth (ie thinner shoots) taste better than the "mature" thick ones.
