Chives are are one of the easiest plants to grow, and we enjoy them so much! Not only do chives taste wonderful as an addition to many meals, but they also add a unique look to your backyard and container garden and can help with pest prevention.
A common question that we get this time of year is about the differences between onions and chives. Follow along with Carrie as she takes some time in this video to show the differences between the two and why you would want to have both plants in your garden!

We built the kids a 3×3 flower bed when we first started and this year we gave them an additional 4×4 bed for veggies. Their spring bed didn’t do so well, but they’ve learned from their mistakes and are ready to start over with a fall bed of carrots, beans, and chives.
This video shows how we cleaned the bed out, added compost, and Brooklyn plants the entire bed by herself!

Salsa is a flavorful and versatile condiment. Of course, it’s the fresh and healthy addition to all our favorite Mexican dishes, but it can also brighten even the dullest meals. It tops beans, omelets, and baked potatoes. It replaces ketchup on burgers and, with a little high-quality olive oil, dressings on salads. It can be an ingredient in meatloaf, rice, or grits, and it can be mixed with other condiments or butter for new creations. Oh yea, it’s also good on chips.
