I bought my little house in the fall of 08 and it had nothing but some hawthorn bushes in the front and a huge sweet olive. The hawthorns are still there because I'm planning to extend the porch the length of the house. But in the meantime, I plant annuals in the little bed in front of the existing porch. That way I can change colors and plants when I want to or when the seasons change. Annuals are usually pretty cheap and if you have the patience you can always plant them from seed and really save a lot of money.
