I agree with the above. Create a perimeter (cinder block or even plywood has worked well for me) top it off with some fresh soil and sow seeds...lots of seeds!
As long as it is well planted, they'll be fine outside during the day. Bring them in at night and repeat.
Here are some of my pens to give you an idea. Notice it's lots of growth VS. a bare dirt patch with plants "here and there"

Anyway, you get the idea
Hope this helps. Setting up a new outdoor enclosure is always so much fun!!
These must have been from when you were in SoCal...cuz the sun is shining... Beautiful places for tortoises to live. (your pens)
