In this short gardening tutorial, Nicole Johnsey Burke demonstrates the "ponytail chop" method for harvesting chives. She explains how to grasp a clump of chives like a ponytail, cut them at the base with pruning shears, and immediately use the cut stems in the kitchen or freeze them for later. Nicole emphasizes that the plants will regrow from the base within a few weeks, resulting in perkier, healthier chives for the next harvest season.
