But he isn't Hermans, he is ours! We have inherited a 5 year old Hermans tortoise from our cousin who could no longer offer him a decent home as...
Oh who needs lawn? The more plants the merrier I say. I agree Eileen, just love the true blue of the mecanopsis.
Oh yes, I am loving that cactus also. Just like Patrick Star. We have the sedum in the garden here. It does have a tendancy to spread, which is...
