The Chives, Garlic seed pack that my wife brought home tonight - the flowers look a lot like the wild onions we have growing here. Every early spring - they are all over the place. I saw some flowering a couple days ago. I was going to take pictures today, but it was drizzling most of the day.
As long as they germinate, (I don't count chickens until they hatch) I want to plant some chives and garlic chives in containers and some out in an area that gets morning sun. The afternoon sun here in Texas is brutal on plants - and us. I have to provide mid-day shade for pepper plants here.
We made six large raised beds that get shaded by oak trees from 2pm through sunset. We built the beds in late 2015 - early 2016, and have only grown in them last year, but they didn't need added shade.
