Thank you. I used that same list yesterday and was picking off the list and asking...took me an hour to pick out 5 plants...lol. I got a bit overwhelmed, so I think I will print the list and take with me and then just compare on it. They actually had desert torts there and so once I mentioned torts, they completely understood. They have a mulberry tree and said I can grab leaves here and there if I want since I don't have space for one at my house...very nice people. Even hung out with their torts for a bit...fed them mulberry leaves...totally made my day. Then when home I cross referenced the plants a few times to double check myself. I got some work in today. I went with ice plant for the cinder blocks, got the hibiscus and deer grass in the ground today. I decided not to run the wood around the cinder blocks and to use it to build a shade cover for them at the opposite end of this photo. I need to get more blocks to run along the back of the fence as my ocd is kicking in on that. I am also going to make different levels in the enclosure. I dug down a bit and covered the clay pot. Am hoping the ice plant will spread a bit and trail over for some more shade for them. Still work in progress but it is coming along. Am also going to set up a sprinkler system as well once I get everything in place. Thanks again for everything...you have been very helpful. Even though our air quality is horrible with the fires around us, I just had to get out and work on it. Wish I could have brought the torts out today but won't during these conditions.
