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 love cactus and succulents. You can forget to water them for ages, and they still grow like mad creatures.

Try aloe vera. Keep it somewhere warmish, water it whenever the dirt's looking really dry, and every once in awhile, you can have lovely aloe vera gel from one of the stalks!
