Yellowing chives

[Jray8]

I planted my garden about 11 days ago. So far everything looks good except my chives. They are turning yellow. My basil, oregano, thyme, peppers and tomatoes all look fine. Any ideas?
Thanks all

You can try snipping out the yellowed and brown and bad 'leaves'. I often have a few go south when transplanting, try to clean them out, and usually the rest comes around green and pretty.

Yeah chives and onions are like that, they really don't take that well to transplanting. Sometimes an old clump will turn yellow when black aphids attack. For either condition sometimes it is better to cut off all of the leaves when transplanting or they become infested with aphids. If the plants are getting enough drainage and fertilizer, the new leaves will shortly start coming up, usually in a couple of days you will see regrowth.

Actually, your chives look perfectly healthy.

The few yellowing stems/leaves are normal. Just snip them off & toss them.

No worries.
