Talking about herbs a few minutes ago reminded me that the chives are

I had a large pot of chives that needed to be split. I just chopped
then into four. I gave two away, planted one in the garden and
repotted the other. The pot is bursting again and the bunch in the
garden is now about a foot across so I think it's OK just to split up
the clump.

Thanks Steve, I may well chop them into more bunches and keep some
just outside the kitchen door some in the herb garden and one in the
flower border.
