Chives and Bee Balm (Monarda) were the ones that were up today.  I'll be interested to see how the Bee Balm grows because I debated whether to start it early or direct sow it.  It's hardy and natural to this area (read: weed) so that led me to consider simply direct sowing.  The packet instructions recommended starting 8 weeks early though.  We'll see how big it is by the time we reach our frost-free date.



I love the cute little curlicue the chives make of themselves when they first poke through.
