Snowflake: in my hands, nothing does well in pots. I have the brownest thumb this side of WeHo.

That being said, I have managed to grow a pretty cool avocado plant from a seed. Although at 20" tall, it is no longer "thriving" in the Nine Fine Irishmen glass/vase I have it in. The edges of the leaves are browning on me. May be because the water level got low, we'll see if it perks now (added more water and placed it outside for some sunshine... just before the rain started, LOL). Anyway, I know darn well it's outgrown the glass and is ready to be transplanted into actual soil, but I'm afraid I'll kill it the second it goes into a pot. Growing something in a glass is one thing... I can put that on my kitchen table where I'll see it and know when it's low on water. Gimme a large, mostly immobile pot and it's a whole new ballgame.

I'm serious about the brown thumb... I even killed an aloe vera plant once.

But if it's in my front garden, with sprinklers and sunshine and soil, maybe, just maybe, herbs will have a chance. Again, provided they don't get butchered by the association's gardening hacks. Maybe if I surround my herbs with nice tall snapdragons or something...
