HERB - Chives

I had something similar happen to the row of garlic I put in ("Look honey, 
this garlic's started to grow.  Let's plant it.")  We, too, were having a 
hot, dry spell when it happened... I came home to find every trace of them 
gone.  I chalked it up to the heat, figured I hadn't watered enough, and 
decided they had at least added organic matter to my heavy clay soil.

Sounds like you've got a nastier culprit!  Good luck with it!
