Super fantastic green house , that's what I want to do across my smal garden, with planting around the edges , so it's good for the torts and good for us too. Love it, hope you don't mind, but I've saved that pic for my tort enclosure reference file! How nerdy am I !

This is my tortoise Garden and my garden too, so it needs to be useable for all of us, so I thought I would get rid of the scrappy bit of grass and replace it with paving and gravel with suitable planting around the edge for the torts and between the paving, and it will be good for the torts and us and look pretty. A bit like the picture in this thread.

I love your garden, especially the table and chair - what a beautiful colour.
I'm lucky that we have a wraparound garden, which has been separated into different areas - the side path and weed patch, the patio and lawn, the kids log cabin and then the animal area, with tort enclosures, guinea pig enclosure and chicken run. It's nice because if you sat on the patio having a meal you'd have no idea there's a little zoo around the corner. I still dream of having a much bigger garden though....so I could have a couple of Aldabra!! It's good to have dreams....they do often come true!

That little pot in front of the football is where Patina Apple goes to get away from the girls so works for her too !

Is that a cordyline in the blue pot? We bought one 15 years ago and planted it in the ground. It's now a huge palm tree! We thought it'd stay 'shrub' sized along with our dwarf conifers, hebes and azaleas.

I've had no joy in trying to grow Hollyhocks from seed. I've grown Lavatera too but they're not flowering yet. Everything seems a bit slower this year. My Petunias are only just starting, as are my lillies on the patio and my Hydrangea has just one flowerhead so far, whereas it was fully in bloom this time last year. Still, I love gardening and planning ahead.

I know ! plants & weeds fantastic - Love ferns ! I know they can not eat them (or not interested), but a couple of mine do sit under them sometimes in the cool.
