My husband had never eaten a chive bloom and thought I was nuts to harvest those. Until he ate one. :-)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024791145077764161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316897386594749432.post-41729164829076236842011-05-30T11:36:39.467-04:002011-05-30T11:36:39.467-04:00foodgardenkitchen - thank you!

I also am a sucker for rescues and I had horses for 25 years until I lost my horse of 15 years in a tragic pasture accident 4+ years ago (which led to gardening as my new [and much less expensive] hobby).
