Instead of planting my herbs in my garden this year, I planted them on pots and put them on my deck. For the most part they thrived. My basil however hasn't grown as well as it does in the garden. I love the convenience of having my herbs right outside my door. Next summer I will do this again, but I will put my basil both on my deck and in my garden. That way I can have the convenience of a few leaves to freshen my dishes and enough to make fresh pesto along with some to freeze.
