Any advice for a beginning urban gardener?

Answer :

answer:Geraniums are virtually unkillable, they grown in a lot of climates and are pretty worry free. They also come in lovely colours. They usually come in either an upright growth habit or an ivy version. Impatiens are pretty and colourful too. Great for baskets and window boxes. They are quite hardy as well. You could look at Gazanias too. I have brown thumbs and I can’t kill Gazanias. They are pretty and come in a range of hot shades.
