How about some sweet mint for your Mojitos and Mint Juleps?
Put the sweet basil in with the cilantro. They will grow fine together in the same pot since they don't get too big and have pretty shallow roots. Use the extra pot for another pepper plant. One isn't enough imho.

Looks awesome! We are still a month away here in KC for summer veggies. I did pick my first raspberries off my new bushes this weekend and they are tasty.
Ended up going with some hybrid jalapeño the wife picked up called a coolapeno supposed to have no heat. Next year i hope to get back to growing some hot peppers again. Had some pretty hot habenero hybrids last year. Tried carolina reapers also with little luck.Put the sweet basil in with the cilantro.

Snapped a few pics of the garden today. That multi colored "mulch" in the paths is sawdust from woodworking.
Overall garden... yeah its a cluster F#$*. Had to surround most of the beds with chicken wire due to all the dang rabbits.
Acorn Squash:
Beans:
Moldavian Dragonhead, good for the bees and looks cool.
Herbs: Sage, Oregano, Rosemary and Thyme. Basil is planted around the tomatos and I have a Bay tree potted on my patio. Rabbits built a nest in the middle of my thyme plant and effed it up...
Onions are starting to form bulbs
A variety of peppers. From what I can remember, Ghost pepper, cayenne, tobasco, Jalapeno, Numex sauve orange (habanero with no heat), couple varieties of red and yellow sweet peppers.
Popcorn, yeah I know I need to pull the weeds in my paths...

Continued....
Potatoes, trying them in a pot for the 1st time.
Gotta have sweet potatoes too! Still debating on whether to keep the volunteer squash plants. They should be butternuts.
Tomatoes are starting to ripen. Planted a variety of colors and sizes.
Shallots: My 1st time growing these, didn't realize what a mess they would become. Few more onions in the background.
Some summer squash:
Saw this patchouli while at a nursery, never seen it before so figured WTF not? Gotta try everything once.
Also grow a variety of tropicals, cacti etc... Here is a plumeria blooming. Smells as good as it looks too.
Not pictured....
Watermelons, sunflowers, meyer lemons, eureka lemons, key limes, persian limes, bay leaf tree, lemon eucalyptus tree and other various potted herbs.

Can reach everything pretty easy. It originally started out as 1 raised bed and I added a couple more each year until I hit 10. Im at the point now where adding more would be more work than I care for and can grow a decent variety of stuff.
Stogie, your garden looks awesome.
We had a mild spring. Weather in the 70's instead of the 90's. This has resulted in a bumper crop. The Armenian cucumbers got out of hand. Probably too big to taste any good. But the tomatoes are darn near perfect. I am getting this kind of harvest every two or three days.
Stogie, I love your garden and variety. What variety are the tomatoes that are already ripening? When did you set them out? I am interested in some early ripening varieties and having ripe ones by the middle of June in St.
Louis is great.

I get a head start on my tomatoes starting them indoors in January. I have a couple grow lights to keep them from getting leggy and the plants are usually pretty big by the time I transplant.
Ate my first tomato of the season and had a BLT with cottage cheese topped with diced tomatoes. Love this stuff.
