Early spring is the perfect time to divide your chive plants. I spent the morning with a shovel and pail, dividing my chives into about 3 inch clumps. After an easy couple of hour's work, I now have 20 chive plants that need to be moved, repotted or given away.

As long as you have a few leaves and a bit of roots, you will be able to move your new chive babies to a different location. Chives are the perfect early spring gardening task that will get your hands into the dirt and help your chives grow better.

Chives pot easily, and make a great gift or early farmers market item.
