Answer 4

you can do it now, but you'll have to keep them inside. Basil can be grown inside from seed all year round, provided it's in a bright place and kept warm enough. Mint I would say buy a plant in spring from a garden centre and keep in a container outside, but you could rear it over winter indoors as well. p.s. mint is virtually indestructible. Even if all the leaves die, the roots tend to keep going and will surprise you by recovering. basil is more temperamental but it's so easy to grow new that it doesn't really matter. All houses/gardens are different, so the best thing you can do is experiment. As long as you don't move the plants too often, try them in different rooms, different places in the rooms. You'll soon get a feel for the conditions they like. You get loads of seeds in a packet, so if it doesn't work straightaway it doesn't matter that much. You can get the seeds from garden centres, DIY type places, larger supermarkets... etc. Good luck!
