Herbs are not really suitable for growing indoors. They very easily get pests and diseases and are particularly prone to aphids.They really need to be outside with good air with circulation and good soil as most need to be kept moist apart from lavenders which thrive on drier sandy type soils.I do sometimes keep herbs on the windowsill for cooking but give the leaves a good wash frequently to keep them dust free or they can’t breathe. I put them outside as often as possible especially if its raining. Its easier to grow them outside if you have a space for a herb garden near the kitchen door or on an outside windowsill or balcony if you have a flat. the herbs I use most are parsley and basil. Basil is difficult to preserve for the winter when there are no fresh herbs around as it doesn’t freeze and when dried tastes like rotten hay ! Chop it finely when fresh and mix with butter and lemon juice to make herb butter and freeze or put large sprigs into a glass jar and fill with warm olive oil. Seal the jar and keep on the windowsill in the sun. All the flavour will be transferred to the oil. repeat this several times over the summer, straining off the herb and adding fresh ones to the oil and at the end you will have beautifully flavoured basil oil to use over the winter
