Herbs:

A large number of herbs can be grown indoors as houseplants. Good examples of these are Chives, Basil and Parsley which can survive in the more limited light conditions of your home.

If you are going to transplant them from your summer garden, plan to bring these plants indoors just before the first frost. Transplant them from your garden into a pot with fresh potting soil. If you miss the first frost, some plants like chives will go dormant. But once brought inside, they will re-awaken in a week or two.

If you want to start new plants, sow seeds in an indoor container in late summer or early fall. Allow enough time for them to get a good start on their growth while ample sunlight and warmth is still around.
