No matter what I do I just can't get into gardening. It's like, that's the one thing that eludes me. Even a little window-box of herbs.
They all end up dying no matter how good I try to take care of them so...I just...I can't. I just can't.

A common mistake a lot of new gardeners make is actually drowning their plants (they usually assume their plants are dying from lack of water, so they over-water). If you look at a plant's soil and it looks dry, I'd suggest sticking a popsicle stick or similar wooden item into the soil first to see if wet soil from below the surface sticks to it; if it doesn't, you can water the plant.

Then again, it also depends on the type of plant. Some are ok in shade, others need higher amounts of sunlight. If you put a sun-loving plant in a part of the house that only gets sun in the early morning, that might not be enough sun for it.

Taking care of plants is fun once you get the hang of it. It might take a few tries, but that's ok!

Sorry, anon. :( Gardening IS tricky, and people tend to underestimate how difficult it is. Companies market all sorts of products to newbie gardeners to make them think you can grow stuff when the truth is that a lot of those herbs 1) don't do that well indoors even if it's by a window because that's just not enough light for them and 2) need waaaaay more space than the window box or they'll be sickly, spindly plants.

Don't waste your money on cute little grow kits with tiny pots. If you have some space outside and enough sun, that might work.

I like (attempting to) keep plants but I feel this

somehow I even managed to kill a golden pothos
