Hi!

I have gathered up a 1 gallon strawberry pot, with four holes on the sides, and one on top (of course). I plan to grow these in a mostly sunny spot outside on my apartment roof.

I've also puchased a few herb plants (chives and chamomile), and grown a few from seed (marjoram, basil, oregano, and parsley). I'm nearly ready to fill the pot.
But there's one problem - the oregano is significantly behind the rest of the herbs. I was hoping to put marjoram, basil, parsley, and oregano in the 'holes', and put the chives and chamomile on top. (will this work? or should I do something different?) Should I wait to fill the pot until the oregano catches up? leave a hole and fill it later? Or, bigger yet, change what I put where in the pot? While I have had experience with some of those herbs growing happily indoors (at least for the summer), I have no luck keeping chamomile indoors (this means the chamomile will have to be in that pot somehow).

I also purchased lemon balm, but later found out it is invasive, and so I have decided to keep it indoors next to my 2 year old spearmint and a new chocolate mint.

Thank you in advance for your help,
-Jennifer
