Usually spring is upon us by March, April at the latest. But this year sucked. It rained from January until April, and we had freezes well into March (usually the last real freeze is mid-Feb). The sun didn't even bother to come out for weeks at a time, and slowly almost everything in my greenhouse died. Outside, the cooler weather veggies were doing fine, and the garlic was going gangbusters. The occasional warm day was enough to confuse my herbs and start their flowering, which was much prettier than I imagined it would be, and also gave me another item to play with in the kitchen: chive flowers. If you like garlic, STRONG garlic, then chive flowers are up your alley.
