Planting chives in recycled pots and then observing their differences with other very similar ones

It's a pleasure for my fellow Hive gardeners to share a new post here in the #hivegarden community, especially since I can share some excellent photos I took yesterday afternoon. I also hope you can appreciate the differences between scallion and garlic plants. My mom was given these scallion plants this morning and used them in her cooking, so she asked if I could plant them and hopefully have our own harvest here at home.

Since I don't have any pots to plant them in, I cut a 2-liter soda bottle to make two. Then it was just a matter of adding a little water to soften the soil. At the same time, I separated the scallion plants into several different root systems so they could grow individually even though they were planted together.

Once I had that step done, it was just a matter of digging a hole, trying to center it and making it as deep as possible so the future plant would have enough room to grow and produce a wonderful harvest. Then I secured the soil by pressing it down a little more with my hands so they were firmly in place, before watering them and leaving them where they would stay.

To finish my post tonight here in the #hivegarden community, I took some pictures of both the scallion and Chinese garlic plants so you can see their most notable differences. I must confess that they are an excellent option for adding flavor to our dishes. In fact, I planted them close together so my mom would have a variety of choices when she was making her selections. Very soon I'll show you some other sweet pepper plants that are growing unexpectedly, a blessing from nature, so it's up to me to make the most of them.
