 I've killed my chives...twice
Hi all out there,
This is my first time posting on The Grapevine and I need some help if you can. I'm most definately what is classed as a newbie...
Last year I grew basil, tomatoes, pumpkins and chives from seed. All went well other than the chives. They germinated, I got about 5 leaves out of them and then they shivelled up and died. (They were started in a heated propagator, and then brought out onto the kitchen windowsill) I thought it was the cooking fumes and heating etc that killed them last year.
This year I bought a chive plant from a garden centre where they had been stored outside, brought it home repotted it and now this one is going the same way. Is it usual for the leaves to go yellow and then die? I'm guessing not. What am I doing wrong can anyone tell me please... any suggestions would be greatly received. I just cant work it out...
Many thanks for your help. Andi |
