The Chives have excelled themselves this year. They looked lovely as they bloomed and tasted good as well as looking fab in salads: the flowers, that is.
Then they 'went over'.
They may look a bit ROUGH. Especially because of the seeds deep in the flower, looking like specs of dirt.
Grab a bag - no, not a carrier .... EVER!
Shake the florrettes, head down into the bag. It only takes a moment.
QUICK AND EASY : )
Tip your haul onto a plate and shake. The petals will separate from the seeds;
EASY.
Pick off the petals ( they're not poisonous) and save the seeds to use in
NAAN BREAD OR ASIAN COOKING.
They keep for ever in a jam jar.
