Michael, is that a Bird of Paradise on the left of the picture? If so,
do they handle the cold weather??? I see you are using frost cloth to protect some tender plants. We use it here in the Sacramento Valley too. Our elderly kitty, who wants to be outside, has discovered that if she snuggles into a mound of frost cloth, she stays warm. So we have a bunch of it sitting on our garden bench, just for her.
Lovely home, by the way.
