These chives are a great indicator of soil moisture in my plot as they droop very quickly if things are a little dry. The picture here is a good indicator of how I didn't water my plants yesterday as it was very overcast, however, they are definitely needing a drink this morning. They bounce back very quickly after they are given a drink however and produce a heap of chives for us.
