Req info: Harvesting chive seeds

Depending on climate, the garlic chives should come back anyway... you can collect the dry seed heads and put in a paper bag; when they're good and dry, crumble with your hands and you should see a bunch of black seeds in the bottom, just like onion seeds but smaller. Pour between a couple of containers on a breezy day, or just mix with water and float off the chaff, sort of like panning for gold, then spread out in a big sieve to dry immediately, so they don't think of sprouting. I do this successfully for leek seeds.

That's been my experience. I put in some chives about 6 years ago and every year I get a nice crop for use all summer and fall.
