Chives in second year are producing lots of flowers and looking a bit
tatty, how should they be treated to best get good crops in future, or
is it best to grow again from seed each year? Is it best to cut all
the leaves from a plant then let it regrow, or what?

Keep them damp. They don't like the weather. Chives like cool,
damp conditions. Cutting off the flowers makes them produce more
leaves, but the weather makes more difference.
