Default Where to plant????

Hello Everyone, Very new to this, and what a great site! I have some questions, and like I said, I'm really new to the banana world! These may seem silly but, we get 2 or 3 frosts a year, which really burns alot of plants around here, and I've seen some pretty poor looking banana trees after a frost. I have purchased two dwarf cavandish they are about 3ft? tall each,(one has two pups already) and I am thinking about putting them in pots so I can move them around and put them inside if it is going to frost, as I would like them to do well and produce fruit of course. Is this a good idea or am I all wet here???? I have seen people alot further north on this site with them planted in the ground so I really don't know. In ground would be better as I'd like to get several other different kinds going too. Also, what medium would be good for them? I have some compost/manure also planting soil, and of course LOTS of sandy soil here to mix in! Thanks in advance!
