Ohio State Extension horticulturist E C Wittmeyer explains chives and leek as perennial onion family crops suitable for Ohio gardens. Chives require similar care to green onions and should be planted on garden edges and divided every few years. Leeks are grown from seed, thinned to 4 8 inches, rows 20 inches apart, harvest at specific diameters, with Giant Musselburgh as a noted variety. Garlic is propagated by planting cloves, with white varieties being most common and more demanding but adaptable to most gardens.
