Thinking I overlooked a detail in planting chive seed.
From what I have read chives need darkness & 60-70° F to germinate.
My temp was ok, but had them under grow light with the rest of the herbs.
Im assuming that's why seeds did not germinated in 15 days.
Seed pack says germination in 15-21 days.
I just planted 12 more seeds.
I did cover seeds this time.
