Hi,
Just discovered your blog today and am enjoying looking through it :0)
You are clever to grow so many tropical fruits! Too cold in UK for that! I just grow veggies in summer when its warm enough to venture outside! HeeHee!
My Mum has a chive bed in her garden and she harvest chives for stir-fries, omlettes and dumplings. I don't like chinese garlic chives so I always refuse the offer of taking a clump home to grow!
I think they are easy to grow as they come back every year. Much cheaper than the oriental supermarkets!
You're missing out! The chive is very good to eat when you cook it right...lol. I'm not sure about cooking with egg though...lol. It have a stronger smell to it when cook with eggs.
