    Strawberries are not good as after you've finished harvesting you should cut them down. Not very attractive most of the year.

    Herbs such as mint and rosemary are hard wearing plants difficult to kill and spread like crazy, also when you brush past them you get an amazing scent.

    Rosemary gets these pretty blue flowers and mint comes in different varieties so different shades, I am particular fond of chocolate mint, dark green and brown leaves and honestly smells of chocolate, and pineapple mint for a yellow green.

    Herbs do better if you keep cutting them, don't have to use them in cooking if you don't want to, either just throw away or add them into flower arrangements for a bit of something different and a lovely smell.

    Or a final idea could be to plant a 'lawn' of clover, very easy to maintain, long roots so tough and it flowers.

    I dont

    and if people do, thats only to maximise next years harvest
