Phase One of Rango's garden. He was a surprise tortoise; i didn't have a lot of time to plan, and anyway it's been way too hot for outdoor construction projects, and so I went with a quick and dirty post-and-rabbit-wire fence. The pots and boards and things lining the perimeter are partly to block his view - if they can see through the fence, they'll keep trying to stick their heads through, or to climb it - and partly structural support. ;) While he sleeps through the fall/winter, I plan to build a solid wall (probably 2-3 cinderblocks high, with a top half (wood? wire? a bottle-fence?) high enough to keep Sophie and her friends from trying to jump over) around his expanded garden - a bit past where we were sitting over on the right, and another 8-10 feet out at the sunny end (out of frame off the bottom edge of the pic), and then all the way to the wood fence out of frame off the left edge (for now, I'll be keeping the pre-existing wire-fence at the back (running just in front of that tree trunk)). And it will have an actual gate, so I won't have to climb over every time. ;)
