Good for you! Gardening is lots of fun. Tomatoes are not for the indoors, as the flowers need bees to pollinate them and cause fruit to grow. It can be done, but it’s best left to professionals. You certainly can start the plants from seeds (use peat pots filled with a loose mixture of sterile potting soil and vermiculite). Cover the seeds with about 1/4 inch of soil, water and let them drain out the bottom. Then cover with plastic and set in a sunny window (not too hot) until the seeds germinate. Then remove the plastic and water with a dilute solution of tepid water and some drops of miracle gro liquid. Allow the plant to dry between waterings. When the plants are about 10 inches tall, with real leaves forming (not the 2 starter leaves), then the plans can be taken outside to be planted (after any frost).
For herbs, I’d buy a kit in the store that has several plastic pots on a single tray. Plant them separately, using the same technique as above. They will also grow well in a sunny window. Use fresh seeds.
