yeah, chives are amazingly hardy. I actually had a pot of them that I forgot to water when I brought them in for winter. Months later I stuck the pot outside and within a few weeks, the chives were all popping up. Crazy. Chives are about the only thing in my garden coming up now. Chives, a little catnip that the cats already discovered, and a huge swath of parsley that's still in it's earliest stage of regeneration. Most of it just looks like dead, washed out veggie matter.

I'm surprised your thyme over-wintered. That's great. Mine's dead as a doornail.

That pepper should do well. They really are perennials in warmer climes. As for the peat pellets, I've seen them in most larger nurseries and most lowes/home depot's. I'm going to start a few plants tomorrow myself. I figure I might as well. I got nothing to lose.

I planted a bunch of seeds directly this weekend. Snow peas, transplanted overwintered claytonia, arugula, beets, carrots, radishes (I really like the Munich beer radishes), and lettuce mix. Also some bergamot seeds. We'll see how they do. It felt great to get back in the garden. And the soil was loaded with worms. I bet they're feasting on all the compost I threw in there last year.
