Chives Seeds are the seeds that grow a crop of Chives. The plant is a kitchen herb that adds flavour to many dishes.
They suit a survivor who cooks and wants a renewable spice. The crop gives a good yield per plant and has a long sowing season. Its cost is a slow grow of close to three weeks.
The seeds come from opening a Seed Packet - Chives. Each packet gives five seeds. The Farmer is the best occupation for gardening. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Using
A seed goes into a plowed plot of soil. The plant grows for about twenty days of game time. Each plant gives four to six Chives at harvest.
Sowing works from March through August. April is the best month to plant. The months from October to February are bad for the crop.
Harvested Chives work as a spice in cooking. A spice does not take up one of the ingredient slots in a dish. Chives go into stir fries, soups, stews, salads, sandwiches, burgers and many other meals. They can also be dried on a drying rack to keep longer.
Five seeds go back into an empty Seed Packet - Chives with the Put 5 Seeds in Packet recipe.

Locations
The seeds are not found loose in the world. They come from a Seed Packet - Chives. Packets turn up most in florists, greenhouse cupboards and sun rooms. Garage storage crates hold them fairly often too. Closets give one only rarely.
Notes
- Chives count as a spice, so they add flavour without using an ingredient slot.
- The sowing season runs all the way from March to August.
- Fresh Chives spoil within days, so drying them helps.
- Five seeds pack back into an empty packet for storage.
