If herbs keep dying, try mint in its own pot, chives, parsley and thyme. Basil can be dramatic if it gets cold or dries out. I used to think I had a black thumb, but I was choosing plants that did not match my routine. Pick plants that forgive you.
Start with lettuce, radishes, bush beans and zucchini if you have space. Tomatoes and peppers are popular, but they are not always the easiest because they need consistent watering and feeding. Quick crops build confidence because you see results before the season feels lost.
