[Sca-cooks] herbs for hanging baskets?

[kingstaste at mindspring.com]

How about a variety of thyme, somethine creeping that would hang over the
edges.  They have small leaves, so should look good, although you may want
to plant several plants in a 14-inch basket. You could even go with a couple
of varieties, like lemon thyme and a dwarf creeping variety.
Rosemary likes good drainage, make sure your box can provide that, adding
lots of sand helps.
Hot tub and herbs on a sunny southern porch, gee Stefan, we may have to make
a field trip from the rock over to your house someday soon.  How does your
wife feel about visitors that will cook?

I've recently added four 14-inch hanging baskets to our screen porch.

I'm looking for something that will serve dual purposes. To look good
in the hanging basket and provide useful culinary or other useful herbs.

The hot tub is in the center of the porch,

This is on the south side of the house and the baskets could
hang on either the east or west side.

I also have two window boxes/raised beds outside the screen porch which
have sprinkler heads attached to the lawn sprinkler system,

I have a Rosemary plant which I also bought yesterday which is likely to
go in one of these boxes.

Thanks,
