I got the cover finished this weekend. I also way over estimated how long it would take for the testudo mix to grow. I can only imagine how tall it will be once I get the tortoise.
Unfortunately a destructive group of caterpillars () destroyed what I previously planted so I had to start all over again. I had never seen a single one in my yard until I planted the weeds...very strange. The resident will be arriving very soon and this is what its home looks like now (some caterpillars have returned and I have tried to pick them off, but it's a challenge).
