When is the best time to harvest chives? How long does it take from sowing to harvesting?

It is not suitable to harvest leeks in the year when the seedlings are planted. Starting from the second year, from spring to early summer, the suitable number of leek harvests is 3-4 times , and most of them are harvested manually.

Leeks are ripe

Chives are different from other vegetables. They grow very fast and can mature all year round. It only takes about 50 days from planting to harvesting , so they can basically be eaten at any time.

Chives grow very fast and can be harvested many times a year, for example, 3-4 times in spring and 2-3 times in autumn. The commercial value of leeks in summer is not as good as that in spring and autumn .

Leek Origin and Yield

The origin of leek is in China. There are many production areas in my country. The more common production areas include Hebei, Shandong, Hunan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Inner Mongolia, Hubei and other provinces. Moreover, my country’s leek variety resources are also very rich.

Leek is a fast-growing plant and can be harvested about three times a year, with an average yield of about 3,500 kilograms per mu. However, if leeks are grown in arch greenhouses, the yield can be even higher, with about 18,000 kilograms being harvested throughout the year.
