Aerogarden. High tech gadetry for it. Extremely nice if you can find
one at a yard sale but we got ours at a model clearance sale at Bed,
Bath and Beyond. Endless home grown winter basil and other herbs.

Plants care about the timing of their light. The sun is not up long
enough in the winter. You can cobble together a timer on a grow bulb
and it will work just as well as an Aerogarden.
