I'll be moving into a new place next week and I'm looking to brighten up both my room and my cooking with some home-grown herbs. Any of you have tips for growing indoors? Specifically I'm hoping to grow cilantro, chives and basil. If I go real crazy, I might even try jalepenos and tomatoes, though I don't know how those would do indoors in wintertime. Help?

Oh, I should mention it gets quite cold 'round here come winter, I live in the mountains. That's why it's all going to be indoors. Also, how to keep the dog from trashing the garden? Or should I just keep it up high where she can't reach it? Thanks.
