Mike is probably right about the hab, but I've grown a cayenne, successfully,
in a small pot (five inches dia.), while it may not have been fair to the
cayenne, it did produce super chilies throughout the summer on my deck and
that was after wintering indoors. About the basil, they are so super easy to
grow from seed that I'd recommend your going and getting a packet of seeds
and have successive planting regardless of the plant your folks brought you,
Jonathan. I have a lot growing on my deck (haven't quite started in the
garden yet) and a couple seedlings growing in somewhat poor lighting in my
kitchen. Basil will not be denied! <g> You do have to be careful about
overwatering it, however. It is a Mediterranean plant and used to drier
climes.
