Inside herbs are great. They are usually very easy to grow. Rosemary of course. Basil. Thyme is a very tough interior plant. And oregano. These plants though remember if you're going to grow inside, they need a lot of natural light. So put them in an Eastern-facing window or even a southern-facing window. They're going to need more light than you might think. And more water than you might think. Pretty much all edibles are going to be that way.
