I want to start a little garden?

I want to start a little garden, but heres the problem. I live in an apt. with a small pattio (ground floor)So i cant actually use their soil, I see it in my mind but know nothing of gardening, all house plants i have ever had have died very quickly and it didnt help that my cats ate them too...any sugestions for a good outdoor garden I could do in pots and would be hard for me to kill?

I'd suggest using your patio space because it's away from the cats. Hanging plants do well on patios. Try airplane plants. They are easy and they give you a little more time between watering. When they look dried up you still have a day or so to water them and they come right back. They really muliply quickly! Green and white stripes. If you have very little sun, Kalanchoes will do okay in pots on the patio. They bloom in a variety of colors, and they don't need much care. You could plant some ivey and let it wind on string up one side across the top of your porch and then back down again. A bigger plant on your patio, like a palm tree, will make a big difference. Try a self watering pot so you don't have to do it every time. Just get into the habit of taking care of them on a daily routine and you'll have a beautiful patio view! Don't forget about herbs. They do well in pots and they are great in your food!
Reply:you can plant many plants and flowers in pots. In a pot try things like - geraniums, petunias, begonias, sweet potato vine. If its sunny you can also grow tomato plants in pots
Reply:Almost any of the plants you see in a garden can be grown in containers. Check out the container gardening forum at www.gardenweb.com , they have lots of info, and tips.
