Apartment Gardening?

I really want to try my hand growing some fresh herbs and/or veggies of my own, trouble is: i live in an apartment.
I know growing food can be done in an apartment, but I was just looking for suggestions for things that would work well in that environment. I have a large enough window to give things sunlight, but I'm not sure where to start?
Any help would be appreciated!

Another idea, plant in any old pot but use a UV light intended for reptiles.
I have a tortoise. Before I got him, I killed every plant I looked at. In his enclosure, I can grow anything. I plant seeds, and quite literally within two days I have a jungle on my hands.
Obviously it's not worth the expense if you're doing it for a bit of fun or just a few herbs, but those lights aren't that expensive and are the answer to indoor gardening.0 -
Basil and Rosemary both do very well in pots. There are also some tomatoes that have been cultivated for growing in pots. Good luck!0

Thanks for the suggestions! And a UV light is a good idea, because knowing me it would die if i just put it in the windowsill :ohwell:0

You could probably grow lettuce in a container too. Do you have outside space? If not, lettuce should do fine on a windowsill!0
