I would like to grow some culinary herbs. Due to the fact that I live in an apartment complex, space is limited. The only place where it's feasible for me to grow the herbs is a small patio area outside where I would set up a small table where the herbs would receive adequate light. As a result of limited space, I have no choice but to do container herb gardening; planting the herbs in the ground isn't an option.

That said I need to know which size pots specific herbs need (obviously I realize this varies from herb to herb). Please provide the diameter of the pot in inches (12", 24", etc.) for each herb and how many gallons the pot should be for each herb type (1/2 gallon, 1 gallon, 2 gallons, etc.)

The reason I need

the the inch size in diameter is because pots aren't labeled by the gallon size where I live but by inch size (as in: 12", 18", etc.).

These are the herbs I would like to grow ( I'll be growing them from seed)

Basil

Oregano

Marjoram

thyme

chives

lavender

parsley

cilantro
