This is what happens when a natural born farmer is contained to an appartment
These are mostly star or yelta and heavenly blues.
Brocoli. Just started these out, must transplant soon before the roots start minglin'
Agave and cilantro and genovese basil (sorry for the shitass pic)
I forgot and more cilantro
And a little christmas spirit as sugested by someone here ^_^
This one is getting out of control. I think it needs more soil but I am running out of family members with lawns to give plants to. . .

I'll bet your apartment smells like an Italian restaurant Gotta love basil; one of my favorite tasting herbs and the fragrance is great.

Same here; we had a sudden freeze a couple of days ago and killed off the dozens of plants I had growing throughout the yard. The seeds had scattered everywhere and it has been raining so much that I had 2 foot tall basil plants in my cactus garden.

Oh, the fairy lights are just to keep the plant "warm" it was suggested by someone here that I do that.
I have my plants growing on sunlight that comes in through the window + sunglo light blub + pure white blub. They seem to be happy that way.
For some reason they dont like the sun glo alone, they like the pure white much better.
I'll post some more pics of other basil plants i've grown indoors and then transplanted to a garden. I think they are my favourite to grow cause there are so many different types and they all love the weather here.
Tip: If winters are really cold were you are from try growing irish or genovese basil, they dont seem to mind the cold at all. Mexican purple basil is pretty sturdy too, it will survive the cold, but its not as happy with it as irish
