Never had any success growing them inside but the ones I did plant outside in a window box were very successful. Had great luck with rosemary, basil and parsley. Not so much luck with cilantro....it bloomed but fairly quickly was "used up"...wouldn't do again. I froze the basil by laying out on a cookie sheet till frozen and then putting in freezer bags but, learned later I should have blanched briefly first to maintain the beautiful green color. My parsley I froze in ice cube trays and then when frozen put in freezer bags as well. When I made soup I just plopped a cube of parsley in it.
