The photos of what I'm doing today would just be of dirt in containers. I'll grab your attention when I have some results to show for my labors
This is great! I'm have always wanted to grow Mallow.
Is this Mallow you posted, tortoise friendly? My guess is yes.
Are there other types that I see on Amazon, that are tortoise friendly?
This is like a gold mine
Thanks

I'm growing these exact "Marsh Mallow" seeds right now...http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006RV7FIG/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 They are germinating with no problems.
We are lucky here in SoCal. After the recent rains Mallow is springing up like dare I say weeds.
See I wasn't kidding. Sadly this is right across the street.
Oh yeah. Thats the good stuff! Grab it by the handful and start filling your bucket!
where did you get that!!!??Did somebody say mallow?
Kids running through for some scale. This was a couple of weeks ago. Now the tallest plants are over 4ft.
It pops up naturally around here. We've had a lot of rain lately and had a large crop last year. I don't cut down the plants so the ones from the prior season matured and dropped a ton of seeds.
Wow wow Wubzy. I have mallow envy now. Mine is nowhere near that size. Most of it is still just a couple inches tall. That is how big mine will get at the height of the season.

Neal, Can I drive down and get some? My mallow growth is spotty.
Mallow grows REALLY well in rocky areas. Although I don't like having all the rocks where the tortoises are, it does help with the tortoise food bill for a good chunk of the year.
We're moving out of this home soon so I had one of my local tortoise buddies come by and take about 80% of what was in the pictures above, now I only have the largest plants which I'll need for my tortoises. I'll try to get as much seed as I can and share the wealth.

Oh man!! When it goes to seed can I buy some seeds???? Please?
I am so jealous! Mine always get hollyhock rust (mallow rust?) So I have to get rid of them for a year or two. :/
Learn something again here today!!

Both my Leopards And Burmese favorite! Soaked Masuri is the only thing that is more popular. No matter what other plant matter I put in the mix it seems like the mallow is the first to go. It must account for bout 50% of their diet? I hope that is not a problem?
