You need to provide more information.

Where do you live? What sort of light would these plants receive (north/south,etc)? Most herbs require high light, especially chives and rosemary. You could grow them under lights unless you have a good window with south or west sunlight.

I have grow lights so the lighting issue is not much of a factor, but im really worried about the size of the container. I live in michigan btw

I lived in NY and grew Rosemary in a pot. It went outside all summer and I moved it inside over winter. I kept it in a sunny window. Rosemary does get big and I believe would grow better in a pot.

We moved to Florida 3 years ago and I still have my Rosemary Plant. I brought it with me and it actually was doing better in NY than Florida. It has grown into a shrub and I plan to repot it in Spring to a larger pot. The Rosemary plant is probably 10 yrs old.

Chives can grow in your planter. They do not need a lot of room and would have room to spread. You can also grow basil under lights.

how big is your rosemary pot jane?

It has been growing in a 10" pot for about 3 years. It definitely needs a bigger pot at this point. I will wait until Spring.

The plant is very busy and wide. I clip the growing tips for cooking and freeze for use later. I love Rosemary for its scent.

I must warn you that Rosemary did not like being moved indoors over winter. It would drop many needles and look bad. I had a spot which stayed cool and did not have heat nearby. I could carry it through winter better than inside the house.

They do like cool conditions.

If you are starting a small plant or from seed, you could start Rosemary in your planter, but it would outgrow it. It should be moved outdoors in the early Spring.
