I have areas around the front and back of my house that used to have plants in it but we didn't like them when we moved in and we removed them. Now the front seems so bare and I'd like to have something that is easy to grow and looks nice to line the front and back of my house. I live in NE Kansas and I'm guessing that if I want something there I should probably get started on it. Any ideas of things that would look nice?

TIA
