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.

Regards, Cathy
