I have one big pot that has two basil plants and a single cherry tomato plant. I've been pruning the ends of everything to keep them compact. So far, so good.

If it works out, I may expand next year. Although it's kind of a pain watering the pot every day.

ETA: Ohhh, baby cucumbers. Pick when it is no longer than 5", rub on your pants to get rid of the prickles, eat. Nom nom nom.
