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.

I second the English ivy recommendation. Mine survived several near death experiences over the years - coming back after a thorough watering even when every single leaf was dead.

Spider plants are also pretty tough, and supposedly one of the best plants for purifying the air.
