I'm glad to hear you say that about chives. I planted chive seeds in a pot this spring, the first time I've ever grown them. The oak sticks are so my wife's cat won't lay in that pot. I don't know whether I should bring these inside for the winter or not - it can get a little below zero degrees here, though that's rare.

I've posted before that I've kept a pot of Maui Purple Peppers going for many years now. We bring it inside for the winter, of course. I suspect that any small pepper variety that likes to be crowded, like those, will do better in a pot than in the ground. The individual plants only live 2 or 3 years, but they reseed themselves.
