How to have endless supply of chives

cant I just go over to spideys and take some while he is at work?

That herb honestly looks like a fine verde basil, it's kinda hard to tell as it's somewhat blurry...other guess would maybe be Chervil but the leaf structure is wrong. Could also be a cultivar of thyme.

Oh and I have rosemary, sage, oregano, genovese basil, thyme, lavender, chamomile and chives as my herbs...

I'll give you a hint. I'm a master of hollandaise, and there is a reason why.

That's why I'm confused straight hollandaise generally speaking doesn't have herbs in it. Unless you count parsley....

Could be lemon thyme??

Chives are truly nigh impossible to kill. My parents have been growing them in a gravely sand that won't grow anything else (except the oregeno that is also impossible to kill). I think growing it in the gravel is a perfect combination because both are so much stronger than store bought or even herbs grown in other places.

And the herb in the foreground is thyme for sure. Possibly lemon thyme?
Also (unless it gets flooded) impossible to kill.

Tarragon vinegar. Sorry, I confuse my hollandaise and bernaise.

That tarragon is like a freaking weed, but glad I have it. Toss it on some fish.

That was going to be my next guess as I finally found a picture. I've never grow Tarragon. My sage is a like a freaking weed as is my thyme. I usually chop both of them back but they just keep coming. D:

We have a half whiskey barrel that my wife uses for her herb garden. Oregano, chives, parsley, cilantro, rosemary, basil, and sage. (I may be forgetting something.)

yes, spidey. I found this thread and bumped it simply by clicking on the tag.

Damn things are starting to flower and it's still 40 degrees. Prolific little bastards. Everyday I'm out there pinching off buds. Chive buds that is.

I have a chive plant. In 3 years I haven't used it once. I get plenty of use from my sage/basil/thyme/oregano/rosemary though.

Even my mint plants get some loving for making mint juleps and mojitos.

Well, I have an endless supply of hives, if anybody's interested.
