The Chives Forest

In my ongoing quest to have too much of everything, we split up the chive plants (dug them up and sliced them apart with a spade) and re-planted them underneath the grapes.

The bed directly underneath the grapes were proving to be a challenge... last year I realized (when I accidentally dug up a root) that the grapes had become so large that their root system had spread throughout the bed (duh- out of sight, out of mind.) So that effectively takes those beds out of action. What to do? Herbs is the answer. Once planted, if the herb stays healthy there no need to disrupt that section of bed every again. It's easy access from the kitchen, so it's a good spot for them anyways. Once all the split mature, we'll have *allot* of chives.
