We have had Herbi 2 years now Kazz. He is about 6 years old so not fully grown yet. Funny you should mention a tortoise called Speedy because that was one of the names in the running for Herbi

Regarding Porsha and the run I may put one of the others out with her. Was going to wait and see who she most gets along with

It's been a big debate flags re grass but I think we have decided that to flag it all - roughly 100 square meters would a) be extremely expensive and b) look a little too much flagged. We might compromise and do a sort of half and half. To be honest I need it done as quickly as possible now and think turf will be the much quicker option if only as a put us on until we can do something more permanent.

Claude is handsome! Love the tortoise; sure Porsha will be happy in her run. As to flags, I had the lawn (awful nuisance to mow) replaced with them, and am so much happier with the patio...!!

Shouldn't your supervisors wear helmets? Except Herbi, who *is* one, I mean.

Re: Garden - work in progress with helpers!


You used to see tortpoises advertised all over now rarely I imagine its because of the way they transported them over here the ldeaths must have been enormous

I would still go with flags - even if you only do a section - choose nice ones you like and start like that. I did a litte every year or so
