[Sca-cooks] question about chives

[King's Taste Productions]

The more they cut them the stronger they will grow back - chives are
like that.  They can be snipped with scissors where they grow, and then
you can dehydrate them or freeze-dry them - they don't have a lot of
inherent moisture so they dry quickly.  They also loose their flavor
fast, so they would probably be best cooked into something before they
were frozen.  
Does the city also spray the area in question? If so, don't bother - you
don't want to eat what they are spraying.

Subject: [Sca-cooks] question about chives


Greetings unto the list,

I am unsure if chives are period or not, but I do have
a question.  It seems in my yard, they are growing
wild, in abundance!  I hate to see them mowed down,
considering they main portion they have decided to
grow is usually mowed by the city.  So, hence my
question.  I would love to be able to clip the
bunches- but then what, is it best to dry them or
freeze them and what is the best method for this?  

Thanks
