Hello!

Thank you so much for reaching out!

I was just getting ready to post some photos to a member that helped me a LOT a couple weeks ago.. I was having big issues and now I have PLANTS and less issues (with those at least)!! lol WOOHOO!!

At this point I would be willing to PAY someone to grow my (other)seeds! LOL:confused::confused:
I haven't had much luck with the seeds that I bought to provide variation, I think this is because not many of them were...pollinated..(I think) beforehand. and in my greenhouse that can't really happen.. I know it'll take a long time to establish plants but boy, I am the most impatient person around!! LOL o_Oo_O

By the way, I am in Rochester, where abouts are you, if you don't mind my asking? :D
Hey, @HappyHermanns! I'm in the metro Detroit area too! Sounds like your gardens may benefit from some natives. They are more resilient to our crazy Michigan weather and perfect for our bugs and birds. Also perennials (plants that come back every season) save you even more hassle. ;) I've found plenty of Michigan natives that I've included in my tortoise garden. Here's my garden thread: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread...r-russian-tortoise-enclosure-and-garden.92343 It's been a lot of work to get going but there's always more tweaking to do as you go. :D

Here is a list of Michigan native suppliers: http://www.mnppa.org/members.html We just this spring tried Wildtype Nursery in Mason and loved it. They were so helpful!

The Native Plant Nursery in Ann Arbor has an awesome database too: http://www.nativeplant.com/plants/search/input

You can't use turtle wax on a tortoise lol , so a good scrub with a soft toothbrush really cleans them up Thortoise slept for a good hour after a bath might have been a little much for him today

Showing my little addition, cherry head tortoise 4 months old! Telling you I am obsessed with her. Finally decided on Koopa as her name. Excited to be a part of the tortoise family
