Growing bulbs in pots. Hints, tips and advice?

I’m just about to move from a house to a flat with a balcony. I want to have a couple of pots on the balcony, one with a rose bush and lavenders in it and one with bulbs. I know I want Snake’s Head Fritillaries, Gladioli and Snowdrops as they’re favourites, but what do I have to do about rotating and storing the bulbs? Any other suggestions for seasonal colour (and/or flowers to cut and bring indoors)? I’m also considering herbs in pots – are these best on the balcony or on the kitchen window sill? I’m not particularily green fingered but I’m working on it! Any help appreciated, thanks in anticipation,
Sorry Patriots, I deleted the last version of this question as the only answer I had before yours just pointed out the typos in my question rather than answering it – but that meant I couldn’t read your answer when it came through! If you read this, please answer again – the first bit that showed up on my notification email sounded like it was a really useful answer! Thank you,
