Deep shade and veggies don't mix. They require plenty of sunlight in order to manufacture produce. I'd suggest that you go with some shade loving annuals...something that you can switch out seasonally for a bit of change. Depending upon the type of plant you select, you'd probably only need one or two.

How long have you had the palms for? If this is something that has happened suddenly then its got to be something that they are getting differently (could chemicals from washing a car or something like that have gotten into the soil near the palm?). If they are recently planted (within the last year or so) then whatever it has, it got from the place you bought them and usually if it's not too serious, the problem corrects itself in those cases. If the browning isnt worsening and the new leaves are not an unhealthy looking color, then I think you will have to wait for new fronds to replace the old, damaged ones, and see how those look. If the browning is getting worse, then that means the problem is still there. Try not to water too much right now and see if that helps the problem. Don't let it dry out too much though since they do like water, but since you are in Florida, you usually get plenty of water this time of the year naturally. Good luck! Keep us updated! -Alex

Definitely a cat palm. They are great palms for the tropical look, but they are kind of a challenge to keep indoors so I dont want a negative experience with this palm indoors to discourage you from growing other palms as indoor/ourdoor plants. The important thing is to never give it full sun outdoors (looks like its in a good sun exposure where you have it) and to make sure it has a lot of bright light, maybe even a window, indoors. They like water, but not too much, just dont let it dry out. Outdoors you can water once every 2 days or so during warm weather and indoors you can water twice a week. Good Luck with it! I personally find that Spindle palms, Solitare palms, and Bamboo Palms have done best for me as indoor/ outdoor plants. The Solitare palm and Bamboo palm prefer shade (and do well indoors by a window) but the spindle palm can handle sun or shade pretty well and seems to be resistant to a lot of pests that other palms get when indoors. -Alex

yellow sedum, in my experience, prefers shade. You can probably underplant with other sedum varieties. You'll have best results with succulents, I think, because they can thrive with little soil - your palm (NOT a king palm (archontophoenix) but rather a canary island date palm (Phoenix canariensis)) probably has that entire area filled with a solid mass of roots. Cotyledon orbiculata can pretty much survive on a tiny bit of soil and can go months without watering. It will get to about 2 feet tall over time. Senecio vitalis gets about that same height and will also do well in shallow soils. Others that come to mind are euphorbia tirrucali and aloe (striata or vanbalenii). Queen palms also have VERY aggressive root systems. They will usually choke out any competing root systems as they age - and I see you have a couple of those nearby. I have my queen palms underplanted with aptenia as groundcover, and aloe vanbalenii.
