I think I'll pass on Fennel Nicos, had one once, am still tring to get rid of the volunteers.

Most of the suggestions so far are for a sunny well drained plot.

This plot is neither, the general view is looking south-east and water has been trickling across from the upside down Y shaped post towards where I stood to take the picture.

Oh and its a windy frost pocket.

Buddlia, Thyme, Bergamot, Rosemary, Marjoram, Borage and Catmint, I'll try.

Thyme died.

The bricks were there to hold the woven membrane down.
Due to normal processes soil and leafmould have built up on the membrane enough to support rosebay willowherb seedlimgs, so its going to be bark-chip mulched, prostrate or ground hugging plants are out.

Any more suggestions, all gratefully recieved especially for unusual medicinal type plants and thanks for those so far.
