Mmm.. I can just imagine waking up to the smell of rotting flesh outside my window!

Already got a mini veg garden round the back thats got a load of herbs in, could stick some in pots and bring round the front!
Put a trough of mint by your back door, let it grow big (2' plus). Everytime you walk outside you'll brush against it and smell it
As for the front, a couple of pots with box trees in will look pretty smart either side of the front door. They're fairly expensive but you may find diy stores selling them off cheap, I got a couple of balls, prob about 50cm diameter for £10 each. Put fairy lights on them at christmas

Xmas tree in there should be ready in a few years. Could decorate it outside too and save having one indoors.
Rose bush, cheap roses when valentines day?
Something like a small tree which bears nice fruit you like?
A hedge and later be arty and cut it into a cool shape of a sexy women. Dont shave her bush tho.
Fountain?
Some people have palm trees or similar trees, maybe one of them?
Venus fly trap and hit it with all the plant fertilizer and max growth stuff u can and steroids of course and make a Audry 2. (little shop of horrors incase no one got that).

Well I went out to the garden centre today and picked myself up a few plants to put in..
Got a few lavenders, some different hebes, lots of smaller heathers, a couple other plants and the Japanese maple for the middle! Have got the week of work so can crack on and get it sorted this week!

Good stuff, glad you went with the maple! Probably a good idea to get some seeds this time of year also, much cheaper and will give you a splash of colour in the summer. Just get loads of seed trays and start them off indoors.

I would have some sort of evergreen that requires little maintenance and you could plant other things around the base?
Either that or an Acer (not a computer):
These come in a variety of sizes and look nice in the late spring/summer/early autumn (although they lose their leaves).
We've got one in our garden and is very hardy and not too big (4').

Yeh I really like the look of them, it should look great when its got its leaves properly. Wasn't too expensive either, was about £30 for that one. Overall I spent £100 on plants which was cheaper than the landscapers quoted me!
