Where do you live?

I was going to ask that!

Grape vines need it very sunny and hot.

Mandolin is a vine type plant, to bad about the grape plants, they are perfect.

 

[ckromulus]

How safe is it for the tort to have unfettered access to mandolin?

Sweet potato vine should grow well for you - Ipomea batatas

Boston Ivy is a safe vine,

My apologies, it is called mandeville, unsure on the spelling. red or pink flowering vine, mine don't like the rest of the plant, just the flowers. Have you tried any of the various squash plants, edible both leaf and flower. Just to satisfy my curiousity what species of tortoise do you have>

Mandevilla do grow well in sub-tropical climes, but are not safe for animal enclosures.

Boston Ivy is a temperate zone plant, and does usually not thrive in Florida.

Maybe I'll give the grape vines another try they started to grow and then died out of the blue!
