What herbs are best to grow in these small pots?

You could enlarge your growing options by lining the crate and planting in there too.

I have had good luck with Chives in pots. Garlic Chives are a bit bigger and h ave white flowers instead of pinky/purple. You are not supposed to let either flo,wer but I do, as I like the flowers.

Basil is supposed to be good, others seem to grow it well, but not been a lucky plant for me.

You could look in the garden centre herb section and see which plants seem to be doing well in a pot and which you like the look of, then maybe get yourself some seeds and grow from scratch for a bit more fun.

I guess something like Pot Marjoram would not get too big if you kept harvesting bits.

Maybe grow several pots of the things you choose, to allow them to rest a bit after harvesting?

Greek basil would be lovely as it's more compact than normal basil.
Curled leaf parsley?
Thyme is low growing...maybe margoram ?

I usually have a couple of small pots like that of Chives on the go. They are small enough to bring indoors for a week, used, then popped outside to recover for a while while i use another pot in the same way...

Not saying that's the best way of doing it (it probably isn't) but it's the way I've found most effective.
