It looks like you received lots of good advice. Zone 7!!!?? Really, I can’t get past that. Just be glad that you aren’t in Zone 3!

They also have great prices, because they package their seed for small-plot gardeners. Don't forget the bull's blood beets. (I promise, beets are very easy to germinate--the hardest part will be thinning the seedlings.)

Its not a dye plant, but i have one that i love and is very easy to keep. (or rather, impossible to kilL!) its "Oxalis", it has really cool purple leaves that open up in the daytime and fold down at night. When its very happy it makes really pretty little pink flowers. Even when i forget to water it for MONTHS or leave it outside when its too cold, it always pops back to life and recovers. i've had it for 5 years now, which is a record! i feel your pain! i have a notoriously ‘black thumb’.

I had the EXACT SAME chili pepper! Just one. Out of TWELVE plants. I also planted six tomato plants, then forgot to harvest them. By the time I remembered, they were all rotten on the vine!
