Container gardening advice needed?

musicimprovedme asked:


I am really interested in starting an herb garden in containers that sit either in the windowsill of the kitchen, by the patio door, or otherwise inside, but I live in east Texas so I can probably take them outside every now and then, some days all year long, or if it got out of control.

I would also like to experiment with some breed of tomatoes that can grow relatively upright and stay confined to it’s container indoors so they don’t sprawl all over the house, drop and stain the carpet, etc.

Is garlic appropriate to grow indoors?

Any pointers for me? My fav herbs are dill, basil, rosemary, and I would love to grow some lavender for homemade bath treats, etc. When I look at the prefab kits, I don’t want them all. If I grew all these things together, would the flavors blend somehow, either from being in close proximity to each other, or from sharing the same soil?

I need allll the advice, details details, no experience. Plants, planting, fert, containers, sun, everything!
