I picture visitors to your place climbing into a little train car with one of your kids driving and you at the front of the train facing backwards yelling through a megaphone, "And over here on the right we have. . ." !!!!!!!!!Day 7

Our backs are a little or should I say a lot stiff tonight. We worked from 8-7:30pm. Hopefully back at it tomorrow depending on the rain.
We have about 50’ of panels, posts and gate to do.
Then, divide up for the 5 torts. Plus, a water line and electricity.
Trying to get a majority of it done because my husband has this thing that’s called a job and he already took Friday off for me.
I can see that as well.. [emoji23]I picture visitors to your place climbing into a little train car with one of your kids driving and you at the front of the train facing backwards yelling through a megaphone, "And over here on the right we have. . ." !!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of when Chug's enclosure was built.
My husband couldn't help, so a man from church volunteered to build it, with my meager assistance.
On the very first day, for the first corner post, he was using the post-hole digger...we suddenly had a 30 ft geyser soaking us both. Yep, the main water line into the house.
The look on his face...well, he's never forgiven me for how hard I laughed, actually, guffawed! [emoji1787][emoji1787]

What kind of water source do you use for your adult Sulcata?

At some pizza places they have these large tubs for holding the dough. They are about 32x24" and 3" deep. I sink them into the ground and they work great. Use them for my SA leopards too.
Mulberry trees are great. Hibiscus, grape vines and cape honeysuckle are all good plants too. One that has become a favorite and does really well here is the lavatera. They can eat the leaves and I feed out tons of the little purple flowers to all my tortoises.
