Small Kitchen Garden Needed

My organic heirloom vegetable garden is located quite a distance from my country kitchen, so I've been looking for a planter I can put on my deck to hold fresh herbs such as basil, thyme, and rosemary.  Over the long weekend, I found a planter for the deck made of old recycled fencing.  It's the perfect size for the deck, and this week I'll buy some good potting soil and plant my herbs currently residing on my kitchen counter.  The combination of sun and shade on the desk should be perfect for these items that will go into my fresh salads, soups and chicken pot pies.
