Can I grow herbs indoors in a basement apartment?

I am very interested in growing my own herbs for cooking. I used to have a herb garden where I grew dill, parsley and a few other plants but that was when I lived with my parents and had a house, and my garden was on my deck.

Now I am living with my fiance in a basement apartment. I was wondering, if I put the herb plants on the window sills, would they get sufficient light to grow? I should also say I live where we have very cold winters and very hot summers.

Thanks!

Do you grow you own herbs?

I really want to grow my own veggies and herbs but there’s a problem?

We moved to an apartment a while back and we have no sunlight anywhere other than my mom’s room, my room, and the patio. Problem is, my mom smokes a buttload outside and I think it’s one of the reasons why our last plants died. We had two basil plants, mint, parsley, oregano, rosemary, and two strawberry plants. All died a couple months after we bought them. Yes they were container plants, but how can mint die!? Mint used to be a weed in our backyard!

What the heck do I do here? I don’t want to have to keep spending loads on fresh tomatoes and cilantro 🙁
Probably could be from weather. It started getting hotter as they started dying. Florida heat is a mofo.
I know the lighting was perfect. They all drained well, but overwatering could also have been a problem.
lol I actually was using Miracle Gro potting mix and their container plant fertilizer. They also coincidentally started going when I started using it 🙁

Maybe I just can’t grow things.
