The previous owners of the house planted mondo and monkey grass around every shrub they planted. As I removed the shrubs I dug up the grass to make a border. It involved lots of digging.

These pictures are from Oct. All the bananas pictured there were hit with frost. I don't mind the bananas taking frost, but some of the tropical bamboo and of course the heliconia and BOP will be better off with the effects of frost minimized. I also may try a cat palm in front of the house next year. They sell cheap at wal mart and do well in shade.
