Well, if you're going to dream, dream big!  Set your sights on a lovely,
PERIOD knot garden!

You will have no trouble with thyme; rosemary, if well cared for, will
get big, so plan to move to a real house in a year or two.  ;-)  I'm not
sure how dill does indoors; I've only tried to grow it outdoors (once)
and it got eaten to the ground in two days by a very hungry caterpillar.
