Hi
It's a lovely Easter Monday here on the south coast of England, so I've given Shirley a first run out in her outdoor enclosure.
It's still early spring, so not much growing in there, but in a month or so most of the bare soil on show will hopefully have tort friendly weeds and flowers flourishing.
She has places to hide (inside the hut, under bushes, half submerged plant pot, chimney section of an old broken chiminea which you might be able to see her hiding behind) places to bask (the tor and her conservatory) and will have things to eat when they grow. I'm thinking of growing some house leeks and other Mediterranean herbs in her conservatory.
No heating/lamp in the hut, I don't fancy putting power in so it's a summer only retreat.
What do you think?
