People do their best and they think they've failed, when the truth is it's just not possible to succeed. If you absolutely must try to do this, you will need a strong fluorescent light aimed right at the herbs for sixteen out of 24 hours. Maybe you could put it on a timer, as one does when starting plants indoors.<br><b>References : </b><br> I really hate to see these indoor herb garden questions, because it is virtually impossible to give herbs enough light to grow indoors.

Outside is always the best. I know, it's 115 out there but what about north side, east side under shade cloth, under a covered pation, and with a mister? You may just have to grow between October and May and forget the heat months.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yeah, simple florescents will work but the lights have to be down close to the plants and still they get leggy.
