Garlic Chives: Late Season Insect Lure
September 01, 2009 - Most of the flowers I grow that attract beneficial insects are done flowering or dying at this point in the season. But yesterday afternoon I noticed this garlic chive swarming with insects, most of them I recognized as beneficial. Since I started it from seed last year, this is the first year it bloomed. My intended purpose was not to attract insects, but to use the leaves in cooking where they add a nice garlicky flavor to dishes. Oh, and the plants looks pretty too.
