enlarged enclosure today (pics)

[Laura]

Enlarged the small pen today. Added a 12x 12 area for more grazing. AS you can see, in the foreground, its very short, the new area has tall grass. I wonder how long it will last!?

this is the corner from the outside. we used concrete posts for supports, we screw into the wood. the wood is 2x12x12.

Very tall weeds.

I say those weeds won't last long at all...

Thats A Large Pen, Im Sure They Wont Last long
As Everyone Mentioned Already

we wanted to go bigger, but the lumber yard only had 12 footers, we didnt want to do any cutting and due to where the pen is and how the ground is and ... etc.. we just went with 12x12.
only took about an hour, so we can figure something else out later..

Looks delicious. I've found that, once you have torties, you see vegetation from a whole new perspective.

Nice, I am planning on my outdoor enclosure for Saturday if I can get a rototiller to till the ground for my new seeds. Hopefully it heats up soon though.

They found it and are loving it...

here you can see one tort to the right near the wall. So you can see the area we gave them isnt too bad.. for now!

both rescues:

the area beyond this expansion, is where the big guys are...
This wall is overkill for the little ones,, but its more to keep the big guys Out..

Using the concrete stakes was a great idea.

the stakes are quick,, but they will rust out in time...

I am very proud of the weed growth in my backyard, I am pretty sure the neighbor's think I've gone loony but it is nothing compared to yours!!! Great growth and great enclosure!!

Hi Laura:

When the pictures are first loading, they're big and I got a real good look at "Bumpy's" face with the grass hanging out of his mouth. I love that picture!
