Windowsill Herb Garden

[Chris Hopkins]

I'm toying with the idea of growing some herbs on a windowsill in my kitchen, has anybody done this or does anyone have any advice on the best way to go about it?

Would it be best to buy a rectangular pot and the herb seeds or individual plants already grown?

on another note my kitchen faces north and doesn't get alot of sunlight although I do have a south facing garden area, would they be best out there?
