Chives are one of the most useful herbs I grow. You can use literally any part of the plant in cooking and they taste good in just about any sort of savory dish. They don't overwhelm the flavor of dishes either and can be added liberally. Better yet, when you harvest them they grow back and are ready for another harvest in like a week with well-established plants. They basically grow like grass. Just cut them back to like and inch or two from the soil and they'll pop back up again in a week or two. They grow pretty slowly at first and take awhile to get established from seed, but once established they're perennial and will just keep producing more chives indefinitely if you keep them warm. They grow well on a kitchen windowsill too so I usually plant them in containers and bring them in during winter so I keep having chives all year long.
