I mean whip the cling film off. You're meant to thin the plants out individually but i just plant a clump and they do fine......easy peasyDo you mean cut them back to make them grow a thicker stem?0 -

Oh right cheers, so do you have any clues as to why mine is still like 'hair' and not thicker stems i can chop up to put into cooking thanks:beer:2016 Money challenge - £2900 -
I'd say it's because they are still baby plants. Mine are like that too, and I am assuming that they will thicken up as they mature. What I don't know is how long that takes.Oh right cheers, so do you have any clues as to why mine is still like 'hair' and not thicker stems i can chop up to put into cooking thanks:beer:0 -

Mine are just the same. They've been at more or less the same stage for a while now. I was getting a bit worried, but after reading this thread I'll just give them more time and see what happens. And possibly buy a plant in the mean time!:heart: Mummy to an amazing little girl

Cheers, mines in a metal bucket pot, which all my herbs are and they look good as ive now made a window box for them.
Its a case of let them grow and get thicker then i can start using them!
Oh and eating the flowers, im not sure id fancy eating flowers, just the foliage will do.:D2016 Money challenge - £2900 -
I planted chives beside my carrots as apparently they help to deter carrot fly, and NONE have germinated. Probably just go and buy a plant now

(he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

You sowed chives you mean, you plant a plant and sow seeds.I planted chives beside my carrots as apparently they help to deter carrot fly, and NONE have germinated. Probably just go and buy a plant now
Chives are quite slow starting as some of you are finding out. Really, if I sow a pot of chives I wouldn't expect to be cutting them for use until the next year. I could, but I wouldn't, letting them build up their energy.
Buying a chive plant, is one of those plants that either I don't mind buying, or I don't mind telling people to go and buy.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0
