What have you got outside your front door?!

[Bladed]

Looking for ideas to replace my dearly departed potted yucca (I think it’s a yucca - something large and spiky anyway).

Any suggestions please? Pictures welcome too :)

Winter jasmine, it’s gone a bit nuts and needs a chop. I recently reddened the step. The tin said it was brick red. It lied, it was salmon pink. I have re-painted in a vaguely more brick red.

I have an old Belfast sink with sedums in. It's not particularly pretty. But it's got all year round green and I don't have to do much to keep it looking good.

A fairly large, standard bay tree. Some hanging baskets, will be swapping the summer ones for winter ones within a few weeks.

Salmon pink step would stand out!

I like the idea of an old sink. I actually have one in the garage but would have to enlist help to get it out the front.

Scaffolding and a load of muck I'm hoping the rain will wash away.

A large planter with skimmia in it.

I so want to say a queue of people I haven’t answered the door to.

But I’ll stick with two box balls in pots.

Wellies one side and a mud kitchen on the other, that's the working front door. The real front door (that doesn't open) has lan old red rambling rose on one side and a pink one on the other, there is a potted olive tree in front of the door to stop people knocking at the door.

A door step

A dead box and lot of cobwebs. I should probably do something about that.

2 bowls of water(different heights) for wildlife esp hedgehogs. Also cat food for the afore mentioned.

2 square terracotta planters with an olive tree in each.

A load of pot plant my mum helped the kids plaint… they’re eclectic and mostly half dead in all honesty. Also a random collection of stones ranging from pebble to head size stolen from various locations and painted enthusiastically by the same kids that have murdered the pot plants mentioned above… we also have a ‘broom’ (large piece of driftwood Cole ted by one of the kids on a random lockdown walk) and a hideous solar powered lantern my mum gifted us last Christmas… generally it’s a death trap / eyesore but it keeps the front of the house looking like some (with not taste) lives here so I suppose it serves the purpose of keeping the burglars away

We have a cordyline in a large pot that I then put bedding plants around the base in the summer months.

2 big zinc planters, each with a twisty stemmed bay tree in. A large coffee sack filled with compost, sweet peas and hot lips salvia. 2 little zinc pots with lavender. And 2 massive slugs, due to todays rain! Haven’t seen any all summer!

A hanging basket and a door mat with usually one of my 2 cats sitting on it especially at night as they are like a “security team” looking for mice, frogs and anything that moves.🫣

Three apples trees, a clematis, a load of herbs, a couple of roses, a dahlia, a something else I can't remember, etc., etc., etc. All in pots.

I’m loving the answers, thank you :). I wish I was more imaginative.

The first Christmas we lived in this house I put a miniature Christmas tree decorated with wooden soldiers outside the front door, and someone stole all the soldiers 😮

I couldn’t understand why they didn’t just whip the whole tree away rather than taking the time to take all the decorations off it but ever since then I’ve been reluctant to put anything that’s nickable out there.

A bit terracotta pot with a very big geranium plant in it. It's gone a bit wild actually. I also have a couple of smaller pots either side of the large one.

I also have a very nice doormat with pictures of bay trees on it. It really brightens the whole step.

A plastic plant. Real plants died as it's an open porch north facing so no rain and no light. I'm not the best plant waterer.

Just a plate of dog biscuit and a egg for the fox in the evening , a water bowl
In the day ( and overnight )for the wildlife
I feel I should get a feature something other than a door wreath that's on there
I have a couple of wooden reindeer but they usually live in the back garden until December

My entire garden is at the front of my house. Next to my door is a clematis climbing up the wall on one side and on the otherside of the door way is a couple of hanging baskets with fuchsias, petunias, lobelia and nasturtiums. There is also a collected pile of stuff next to the door step that we've found on walks over the years. Animal bones, shells, funny shaped sticks, broken crockery, glass bottles n the like.

What have you got outside your front door?!

A big, wide world.

A pair of walking sandals that DDs friend puked all over on return from a day out at a theme park.

I am waiting for very heavy rain.

I've got various pots which change seasonally plus a hanging basket. This summer's pots are a bit random but I like them - they include a sedum spectabile I grew from a cutting last year that's quite big now, a couple of white scabious, some deep pink begonias, a hosta, a fuchsia, something I've forgotten the name of...
In winter I have a sweet box, probably some cyclamens, then bulb lasagnes.

A potted hydrangea that came from my granny's garden. She had masses of them and it makes me smile.
