It could be that when your chives went to seed, the wind carried the seed into the yard and they are all the same. I seem to have chives popping up all over this year too!

TK, our neighbor has a ton of wild onions in their field...I love to be outside when they mow...it just smells wonderful! I think I can prevent your question being the dumbest ever posted by asking....how do you tell the difference in wild onions and wild chives? ![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)
My garlic chives in my herb garden look just like wild onions...so how do you tell the difference? ![[nutz]](im/graemlins/nutz.gif)

Ummmmm ok i'll bite
The size?
this is probably the dummest answer ever but...![[thinker]](im/graemlins/idea.gif)
I've never even thought to look up the differences between green onions and chives I use them pretty much interchangable. Being a city kid for the most part. chives are what I find dried in the seasoning section and green onions are what I find in the produce section of the grocery store.
I can hear past gardeners groaning and rolling over in their graves as I write this ... I'm sure they will come and haunt me tonight.

Okay TK...(I'm crackin up here!)Don't start this into a contest to see who can come up with the dumbest questions...and now answers! I know that onions have "bulbs" on them...but honest to Pete...my chives look like a bunch of wild onions...so I was just wondering the difference. I know we probably have all of the seasoned gardeners in stitches by now! ![[Big Grin]](im/biggrin.gif)
