Thank you for the information :tort:
Luckily our Moringa trees have survived and we are able to feed it to them often! (Covered by a wire ring)
I will keep your advice in mind.
What are some good fall/winter or desert plants that I might find for it? I was thinking some bushes or trees for shade. Also, should I block off the patio? or would it be too small then? Thank you.
I tried to grow some pasture grass last year while I kept the torts in a pen, but I didn't let it establish enough and it was trampled, eaten to bits, and dried up by the summer sun I beleive anything I try to plant now, other than prickly pear, will die from the heat, but I want to be prepared...
