if i were you i would buy rosemary, basil (both are easy to grow and keep), dwarf rose, mint maybe. All of them are common. And you can use them in cooking too (except from the rose)

Yeah! My philosophy when it comes to herbs is pick one or some for every category (love, health, wealth, etc.) plant them and then leave it at that. You won't have to buy many more. That way you have the ones that suit your main purposes and if you need to do something unusual, then you can buy some more if you must.

I love gardening and I grow many herbs all around the year in my home. I would suggest you grow those herbs that are easy to grow and maintain. Here are the best ones I came across:

1. Basil
2. Rosemary
3. Lavender
4. Oregano
5. Mint
5. Lemon Grass
6. Thyme

That's a good list, although I had never tried lemon grass indoors, does it do well? The one I had in the yard got super giant, it smelled so wonderful I would use it in a tea with jasmine to open the psychic senses.
By the way, ehsanjadoon come on in and introduce yourself and let us know a bit about yourself and how you got started on this path...
and Welcome to the board!
