Hi, this month we are going to write about chives.  There are 2 kinds of chives.  Regular chives has a mild onion like flavor.  Use it in salads, vegetables, soups, omelets, cheese dishes and as a garnish.  Sprinkle over vegetable dishes or any kind of dish just before serving.  Cream with butter and lemon juice for grilled fish.   The next is garlic chives which has a mild garlic/onion flavor.  Use it the same as regular chives.  They all taste great.  The healing uses are slim as they are a small plant but they have mild antibacterial and antifungal properties;  mild cardiovascular-systems benefits.  They are a good source of vitamins A and C.  I have a hard time growing regular chives down here in the South, so I stick with the garlic chives.  Don’t forget, the blooms are good to eat, and are attractive in a salad.  They can also be dried for a dried floral arrangement.  That’s it for this month.  The Herb Lady
