Pepper

i was thinking simple flagstone or pebble like ms exced seh to separate the veg section from the banana trees. yuh can even get old stone at some scrap yards if it too dare.

is the banana too close to the fence ? how big dem usually get?


yuh gwine paint the odda section a the fence with white paint too ?

Re: Back Yard Questions

I like the border design in Compry's post...
Plant around the bananas using tropical plants such as Heliconas, Ginger, Tropicanas and Alocacias (Elephant Ears). Border along the fence... not straight border but curvy for seasonal flowering plants. Place the veggie garden in the centre. Don't plant anything close or around the mango tree since it is already so imposing.

Pepper, you may consider a vine plant that is adaptable to your area for hiding the fence... Mandevilla or Carolina Jasmine. Neither vines are known to be evasive and they produce beautiful flowers.

LOL, so it seems.

BTW, for those that don't know.

The term banana walk is similar to orange grove.

Re: Back Yard Questions

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I am going to start working on the banana walk first. I'll get some type of border, and add soil. Then maybe a combination of pavers and pebbles between the banana tree and the veg garden.

The border will most likely be some type of treated wood. While I would prefer the bricks like Compry posted, one hurricane will probably put an end to that wall.

Re: Back Yard Questions

Qk, I don't think those bricks are cemented to each other. Aren't they just stacked in a pattern?

And yeah...a wind blowing at 120 MPH will send a single brick flying.
