Ours are big square wooden planters that my husband built and there's plenty of room for herbs so one box has thyme and the other has basil. I added hyacinths to each for my own pleasure but have to keep mesh on each box to keep the horrid deer away from both the hyacinths and the tomatoes. The crows would dive bomb the tomatoes as well if they weren't covered.

Here the spinach is near the end of production and the almost invisible tomato is planted deeply in the center. The basil gets planted in June.
