Nice work in knowing two great plants, @little-peppers! Do you ever dig up the chives and use the little bulbs growing underground? Here's one way I have used the little chive bulbs, with their green stems - and dandelions, too. Backpacking Ramen Noodles with Weeds.

Do your chives last all through the summer? Where I live, in Oregon, the chives are out from the fall, through the winter, and through spring. But they lose their leaves and disappear during our summer. So that's why I freeze and dry them - so I can have them all year long. And so I can use them to cook dinner when I go backpacking.

I'm happy you are starting this series. It's exciting to think of what plants you will show us next. Happy foraging!
