Good Morning,

I have some general questions on herbs.

I have chives and time planted in a half barell that I planted several years ago. Should I do any triming etc. The chives continue to grow back each year and are much thicked in the stem, flavor seems to be getting weaker though. Any thoughs? Oh I am in INDY

Usually trim the thyme back each spring...Have had some of the same plant for years and it fills out nicely.

Fresh soil in the barrel as you may have depleated the minerals from whats in there.
