How I did it: I'm trying to care for BASIL indoors in the A/C (because I don't have a yard).  I believe it gets enough direct sunlight, but it wilts a little so far.  But then, it is also growing noticeably taller, so I think its working.  I've snipped fresh basil from the pot sparingly about 4 or 5 times already, too. 

Lessons & tips: If tending indoors, feel the dirt regularly to keep it watered well AND make sure it gets plenty of direct sunlight near a window.

Resources: I grabbed whatever main brand of potter's dirt they were pushing at the local hardware store and dropped it into a flower pot large enough that gave it some room to grow.
