Can I grow Basil, Rosemary, and Thyme in the same pot?

I have a very large pot on my deck and would like to grow some fresh herbs this year. Was not sure if these would be ok in the same pot. Meaning are they all full sun, shade etc.

Can I grow Basil, Rosemary, and Thyme in the same pot?
Rosemary and Thyme for sure. Both of them love the same conditions. ( dry)


Basil prefers the soil to be watered a little more often.





That being said it is possible but you may be sacrificing a little on the basil.





All herbs need sun to get their full and best taste.





Do not add mint as it will take over.





I would also definitely add chives ( unless you don't like them)





Have fun and good growing and good eating. It is such fun to nip into the garden and snip off some fresh herbs to throw in your meal
Reply:If you have a deck..then do what I did for my herb bed... I bought common aluminum rain gutter from Home Depot and the plastic spacers and aluminum spikes made for them..drilled holes in the bottom for drainage, added a little vermiculite,perlite and compost together and grew lots of herbs..A 10 foot section cost me 4.99..plus the cost of the spacers ,end caps and spikes..total was about 20.00 for A 20 foot herb bed...You will need alot less dirt/compost mixture here and can grow more herbs than that...I would put the rosemary in a pot for itself for it will grow up to 5 or 6 foot tall providing the pot is large enough..and if not..they are happy rootbound and they like the soil alot dryer than the other herbs..I then paintedd the gutters the color of my deck hand rail....actually paintedd it first and not the herbs lol..here are some pictures for you..The first three pages of my flickr album is all herbs and veggies...

Reply:Buy a large container. A 14" across the top will do. We bought plastic at WalMart for $5.00.
