The MC was blackmailed to join this shady club that's owned by two other guys, who are really good looking and use the clubs as an excuse to hang out. But the MC had a grandma who taught him gardening before he died, and so he has a love/hate for gardening. Slowly he starts to change the the club and grows close to one of the 2 guys.....that's all I remember.
Umm... Is it this one

Does the protagonist have bad luck? If so, then I believe the name of the manga is Glow!
Like that actually spends time showing the development of their relationship. I'm reading Dear Green: Hitomi No Ounowa which shows the couple from when they were just friends, to moving in, and then continuing years later. It has like 3 volumes of their relationship, which is atypical for yaoi. I love stories like that.
There are a few old-school yaoi series that take ages for the couple to consummate ( http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kusatta_kyoushi_no_houteishiki/ and http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/yatteraneeze/ not to mention the series which starts with this one: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/mainichi_seiten/), although that tends to be the end-goal and the driving purpose underlying those series. Dear Green is a little more complicated than that. Some of the more recent ones I know (which you've probably read already) are:

Then there are the entire Kuroneko, Warui and Mujihi series. And Haru wo Daite Ita of course.
Haru wo Daite Ita,
Hidoku Shinaide,
Bi no Isu series (Bi no Isu, Kobi No Kyoujin, smoke),
Azami series (Azami, Sabita Yoru Demo Koi Wa Sasayaku, Renai-rubi no Tadashii Furikata, Hadakeru Kaibutsu),
and Kimi to Parade series (Kimi to Parade, Paradise View). The last 3 series aren't pleasant or fluffy if you are looking for that. Only Kimi to Parade skips rape or domestic violence.
It starts with the MC liking this black haired guy and they are really cute together. He has a dark traumatic past where he was gang raped by his ex and his ex's friends. The MC's abusive ex comes back and then the MC lets himself be used by the ex. This goes on for mannnny chapters. It's a really dark and sad story.
Yaoi or shounen-ai.

I'm reading Hate Mate right now and omgeee...
I am shipping the MC with the second love interest so hard right now...It seems to be a trope where MC dates a nice good guy but you know they're gonna break up and the MC will end up with his first love, who will typically treat him like dirt till he got jealous.
Are there stories where the MC actually chooses and stays with a good guy over his first love?
Hiranaku to Ryuusei :)
Despite the rarity they exist. Unfortunately, I mostly forgot the older ones I've read but I started collecting them as I read along.
start with 2nd page. http://www.mangago.me/home/mangalist/85007/
The MC has bangs that cover his differently colored eyes. He is a loner and is obsessed with this super good looking classmate. The classmate notices him and they start hooking up. Their relationship is very dysfunctional, towards the end, the MC believes he is being cheated on and points a gun towards his bf. The bf manages to calm him down, they break up, but then ends happily.
Anyone know the name of the manga featuring the three guys on the main banner on this page http://fundashyaoi.tumblr.com?
I KNOW I saw a cover with them on here
It's called Paripi -Party ☆ People- ;)
All I remember was that the uke had long hair and he was some sort of model. He was flamboyant and he lived with the seme who was more serious and was a businessman. The businessman visited the uke while he was doing some fancy model shoot and then they have a rendezvous in the restroom-and that's it lol. Any ideas?

Probably this one. So nostalgic....
This series goes over many years in the life of the MC. It starts by showing him as a homeless young man who is saved by an older guy who rescues him and let's him live in his apartment. The MC falls in love but the older guy refuses to touch him. Then the older guy's wife come back, they reunite, so the MC leaves and they separate for many years. Then the rest of the series just shows the MC older and hooking up with many, many different lovers. But he still can't get over the older guy, who's still married. The older guy and the MC meet again and they start hooking up, but he won't leave his wife. So the MC just continues to find new lovers, and then the last chapter ends with him finally asking the older guy to leave his wife and be with him. But we don't see the answer
Seems sad, but sorry I also don't know..
Yeah, I felt sad for the MC. The story sounds more sadder than it is, but it did have very sad moments. All the characters were really funny though, and there was humor. But the older guy and the MC really do love each other. It's just their timing was never right. They just have a really long and complicated love affair.
