Herbs: Gigantic Chive Patch

 
This is my Dad's huge patch of chive in bloom.
I have never seen so many chives in one spot and the purple flowers made such a pretty sight.
The bees love them!
It may not show in the photos, but the patch must be three to four feet in diameter.

Anyone know any good uses for chives? I might try drying some to use in the winter.
