Indoor Small Kitchen Garden: Herbs
To grow produce indoors during the winter, you need a lot of light… probably a lot of artificial light if you’re trying to grow vegetables and fruit. However, many herbs do well with far less light.
According to Allecia Vermillion of GateHouse News Service
Certain herbs thrive indoors. Here are some basics for starting an indoor kitchen garden:
Basil: Once you have a ready supply of this favorite, you’ll be amazed how many recipes call for its fragrant green leaves. Basil needs more water than most other herbs.
Oregano: Transplant a cutting from an outdoor plant into a pot and flavor your pasta sauces year-round.
Mint: This flavorful herb can take over in a garden, but easily grows by itself in a pot.
Parsley: Give it a sunny windowsill and watch this hardy kitchen staple thrive.
Rosemary: Strong and fragrant, this herb can grow all year in a sunny spot. Don’t overwater it.

I second the recommendation about basil. It’s incredibly easy to grow… I started some by accident one year as I explained in After Frost in a Small Kitchen Garden.
