Beginner question

[cesy]

I would like to learn more about gardening. However, at the moment I lack a garden. I have tried keeping house-plants, but I have a regrettable tendency to kill them. Does anyone have any particular advice on types that are easy to keep? I tend to forget to water things unless it's a very fixed "it needs 100ml once a week" so I can put a recurring reminder in Outlook.

The other option you can look at is to get some nice self-watering containers. They have a reservoir with a goodly amount of water there and a handy indicator for when they're getting low. You typically only have to water about once a week or so, and you won't over or under water because the plants will wick up what they need.
