I love having fresh herbs on hand, so, for the past couple of springs/summers I've placed a window box outside with basil & parsley. This year both grew so well that I vowed to move them inside before the first frost. Well, the first frost happened while I was away, so my herbs didn't survive(I'm not sure if they would have made it inside my warm, dry apartment for very long, anyway). Tom got me a indoor herb garden starter kit for Xmas. I picked out the four that I thought we'd use the most; basil, parsley, chives & cilantro. I have been diligently following the instructions that came with the kit & even bought a plant light that I keep on for 10 hours at a time, but the things look so pitiful. Tom comes home from work & checks them then looks at me as if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not. I think we should have waited until springtime to start the garden. Here's what they look like. Pretty sad isn't it?
I started mine in winter, too. But I bought mine perfectly healthy and already growing at the farmer's market. I got basil, rosemary and two interesting thyme mint oregano things, one of which has already died. The basil was doing great until the big storm took temperatures so low, now it looks sad. The rosemary seems to be doing okay. Perhaps I need to re-pot them. And you know how I love doing that!
I swear it is just chance that herbs live or die. I've had some that just seem destined to die, no matter what you do, and others that shoot up at the first hint of warm weather and go to seed in no time. Ah well, they aren't overly expensive..

I have had the same problem. I gave up. Although I love the idea of having a kitchen herb garden. Let me know if it works out. Good luck!
