basil, chives and parsley

in that pot - chives grow like grass, single strands so don't spread. As they grow on you can simply divide if you feel it is a little crowd. For your basil sow a little less than the chives. Also, basil do not like the cold - grow on in a greenhouse or a sun by David 25

Something is eating my chives.

I grow chives as much for their pretty purple flowers as for their culinary use. Now I find that many of the heads have been eaten away, leaving just a green stem with a nibbled edge. I can't see any sign of anything, I would really appreciate a by Jenny Turner2

leeks

be worth thinning them out a bit if they're growing very close. You can use the thinnings like chives, or heel them in a corner somewhere and they may grow to a useful size. Then let the remaining leeks grow on a bit until they're big enough to transplant by Moonlit Hare

Advise please

for slugs and snails as they love the rocket! That's the bonus of a raised bed as you can see them easily. I keep a slug pub topped up with cheap beer, and pop them on the edge so they die happy! I grow herbs which I'm likely to use in cooking... ...chives by Sarahlou67

Planting around Apple Tree

possibly plant something around the tree or would this not be a wise thing to do ? I have climbing roses growing through apple trees, and also honeysuckle. That works, though you need to ensure that the particular climbing plant is not too vigourous by Brumbull
