Thanks for the tip – it’s ceramic unfortunately! It’s a nice pot so I think I will use it for something else next year, with an inner plastic pot. I can’t help but feel if I actually liked chives better I would be treating them better!

For making holes in your chive pot – if it’s plastic, use a red hot skewer – you are unlikely to crack the pot, and it’s simpler than using a drill or a nail. I hear a metal skewer ( a long one) on a gas hob….

Just be sure to know what all your plants look like. You don't want to end up like these guys

Yes, it is nice to eat to food you’ve grown yourself but, I wonder, what’s the best use of eight square metres? How many calories can that produce in a year? Is it best to specialise in, say, herbs or go for variety so that, at least occasionally you can serve up a meal of home produce? Anyway, best of luck with it.
