Default What are some good indoor plants for beginners?

Hi, I'd like to try growing one or two small edible plants in my
apartment, but I don't know which ones to get.

I've never had a plant before except for a spider plant that I kept in
a glass of water. My apartment is very dry and warm, but there are
drafts near the windows and it's not very sunny. I live in Anchorage,
Alaska, so right now I only have 6 hours of sunlight a day, but in the
spring and summer I'll have lots of light. I keep the apartment lights
on almost all the time now.

I'll be home every day to water and care for the plant, but I don't
have a lot of money to spend on special soils, etc. I also don't have a
lot of space.

Can anyone recommend a plant that would be suitable for these
conditions?

Many thanks!!
