Growing herbs indoors? [View all]

I'll cross-post this in C&B too.

I'm rearranging things in the kitchen/dining area, to make use of a corner that has good windows facing E/NE and SE/S. It has radiant (floor) heating set at 66 in the winter, and it gets down to about 66-67 F at night, but with passive solar it's quite warm during the day (73-76 F.) This is the Southwest, so it's fairly dry, naturally.

I cook with gas, but the stove is a good 12-15 feet from this corner area, so there's not much direct exposure.

Given these conditions, what can anyone tell me about success with growing herbs indoors, in pots. I'll be wintering in my outdoor pot of lemon grass, to start with. What else might do well, given that we're talking comparatively warm night temperatures?

curiously,
Bright
