herb garden in 1 pot

What herbs grow well in a pot together, and how big a pot do I need?

 I'd like to do basil, thyme, rosemary, and maybe one other thing. 

 Also, at school we grow rosemary but it is a huge bush a few feet wide.  Are there smaller ones?

    How many of each herb do you wnat to plant?  That would influence how large your container needs to be. I grow sage, oregeno, parsley, thyme, marjoram, basil, mint and chives in a 36" diameter container - I have multiple plants of each herb.

    Rosemary is more of a forb/bush.  You can plant a small younger rosemary and tehn prune it heavily each year, but wouldn't grow rosemary in a container unless it was by itself.

  • I wouldn't plant rosemary or mint wth other herbs. They need their own pot. Chives, thyme, and oregano could be together.

    I've never grown majoram. 

  • Sunset magazine has a "Easy Edible Garden" on display right now, there is an excellent section on herbs...lots of awesome pictures to mimick too!
