Any luck growing both in a bounty ? Cherry tomatoes and basil....
any other herbs that would work ?
I’ve done peppers and tomatoes before and I think it was too much. The peppers had a harder time.

I miss having fresh basil (I have lettuce and kale going now....but it’s gonna be time to toss that soon)

Thinking of going that route or basil, parsley, green onion and beet greens.

In a Bounty You should not grow more then two Pepper Plants, Two Tomato Plants or One of each. However, I have grown a pepper plant with two herbs on the other side. I can't see why you cant do a tomato plant and basil. Keep in mind that the tomatoes use more nutes then the basil so that can affect one or the other.

I always have basil growing as I love it too. I keep some fresh in the freezer in case I ever run out as well.

Take a look at some of the member Gardens. You can get some ideas of what they all have growing as well.
