That's a great story. I love tortoises.
Everything looks nice Mr. Relaxed. 
I had a tortoise when I was a kid. I tried to keep him in a little pen. Everyday he was out and about. 
Yeah! They sure are foragers. He's very investigative. Just don't let him get into the lettuce patch, otherwise he'll mow that thing clean in a matter of minutes
Thanks for cruising through OMM!
Ha ha, two ancient organisms living side by side
I love animals, that tortoise is so cool! He's like almost twice my age!
God Chose It, We Grows It!
No wonder he stays, look at the beautiful foliage you grow, he must love the environment!!
He's definitely got personality, he knows what the sound of lettuce crunching is, and he gives us the stink eye when hes ready for a feast. We stopped giving him banana because he's pretty fat underneath that shell. So ice berg lettuce is what he loves. Topped off with a Hibiscus flower
Neat Goofy! I remember living in Florida very well. We use to live right near the Oscar Scherer State Park in Osprey. I remember walking the Siesta Keys on the sand that was White as Snow. Very nice area, other than those tornado and hurricanes. Just got to watch out when your walking down the street you might see something crazy like a gator. Apparently a lot of imported animals down at the pet stores. The one big problem was that snake that wasn't native here and are taking over, never heard if they figured that out or not. They're just in the wild now. I remember at the State Park we would swim in this lake, the lake had a big net about half way through so the gators on the other side couldn't get through. Occasionally we'd see a baby slip through here and then. I remember being in the tent sleeping at night next to a creek and a gator was passing through so the sheriffs had to come and take it away from the campsite. Good Ol Florida, right?
Weather: Still very humid out there, I woke up and took a look at the specimen I'm harvesting today and it looks frostier than I've seen, it might very well be the most potent batch yet, so I'm excited to do some trimming today.
All of my smaller newer plants were fimmed yesterday, except the Swiss Cheese because its too young. I got real lucky yesterday, I left the seedlings on the tortoise pathway, luckily he just knocked them red cups over, I was afraid he was going to eat my Swiss Cheese in one bite! Oh what a bummer that would have been. Anyway we're in the clear. The KC-45 clones I took yesterday look great, standing nice and tall.
Oh and one other tidbit of information.
Fang got in a fight and stood his ground against a racoon last night. I sleep right next to the plants with my window open, and the cat sleeps outside, usually looking for rats/mice, protecting his water hole, catnip location. He stood his ground and I barely had enough time to get my shorts and shirt on grab a flash light and run out there to break up the fight. I was afraid he was going to get hurt. When I got there I noticed the two animals strangling each other in a ball so I scared them each off, Fang ran towards the corner of the yard and was upset, I wasn't sure if he was hurt or not till this morning. He is doing just fine and is not hurt at all. All I found at the site was a patch of gray hair where he ripped out of the coon. Luckily all things are well with the plants and animals. I'll try and take some sexy harvest shots for later of some of the frostiness, should be able to get a lot of trim off this plant as the phenotype is slightly leafy, but very frosty.
You can always get a catnip plant and see if he notices
