CarolineScott said:All of those herbs should grow well in containers.
Use a good potting or seed starter soil mix.
The soil mix just has to be damp, and not wet.
Sprinkle the seeds on top of the damp soil mix.
Cover the seeds with very thin scattering of vermiculite or peat or soil mix.
Pull a plastic bag or some other clear cover over the containers,
but vent it so air can get into the container. This is to keep the moisture in ONLY until the seeds sprout. When you see green sprouts, remove the clear plastic cover.
The containers need to be in good light and warmth.
It is better to water from below rather than washing the seeds about.

Thanks for the reply.
Is it a simple flower mix that you refer to when you saying "potting soil mix"?

Coppice said:Seek out already started plants. transplant them into bigger pots with added soiless mix, and compost or osmocoat fertilizer pellets.

Indoors is too dry and light levels are too low in summer. Grow your herbs on the porch till fall. Then you can move them into a brightly lit windowsill.

What does "added soiless mix" mean? Or what kind of a mix is it?
