Fine, I will plant mint instead.
Actually considering mint for the front garden though. It’s a narrow strip of dirt surrounded on all sides by 10+ metres of paved land. Hopefully it would be less thirsty than using pots and tbh all that is growing in it currently is thorns.
That’s the only safe place to plant mint.
I just planted Mint into my computer
Now to work out how to eat it and ideally says of preserving it too. Mint jelly but it needs apples in season really. I guess an unset syrup should also have a long shelf life as it’s the sugar that preserves it.
Not culinary but if you’re looking for flowers can I suggest mints more prettier cousins nepeta and salvia nemerosa
But the entire point of growing something is to eat it. Or be useful in some way at least, considered bamboo for free canes but it sounds like it can damage concrete around it and even clumping bamboo would try and grow larger than the space I have fairly quickly due to the narrow width.
You will plant native plants, you mean
I think spearmint is native to the UK. Also got rosemary, thyme, chives, sage.
Mint’s a native plant.
Let me present you this one:
That is incredibly unsettling. What is it?
Kalanchoe daigremontiana
I know it as Mother of Millions
AMA on how to deal with your invasive plants
Robinia are taking over unmaintained areas like construction grounds and the edge of the forrest. Some in the forest are full size.
What can I do against them spreading?
My garden patch converted entirely to mint by the end of the warm season. What do?

Just keep cutting/burning it every couple days. It will die eventually.
