i would like to plant small bushes and perennials on both sides of my front
porch.
there are no rain gutters on the overhang, and these would have to "stand
up" to occasional downpour.
any suggestions?

thanks,

Tough branched bushes may do OK, but plant the perennials where they wont
have to endure a dead-on hit of water.

Get gutters, if you can afford it. Otherwise, listen to the Manellis.
