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 want to line my driveway w/bulb flowers and my question is "is too late in the season?" I bought tulips in the container w/small sprouts.
Thank you.
these tulips were outside in their pots and the week ahead shows temps in the 60’s and 70’s during the day and no freezing temps at night so far. I am going to plant them and the driveway gets full sun so I am hoping for the best.
thanks for the responses.
