Castle Mott progress

WEll then, I've made a bit more progress on Castle Mott, the rescued Box turtle enclosure. I added a feeding station July 4 weekend. This to prevent Ants from invading and taking his food. He Loves his pool and water for sure. (even though he is a Land turtle) I'm still working on making it a bit more cohesive to the pool, more rocks to add. the stream from his pool will feed into it to help keep the moat filled with water to repell ants, meanwhile I am researching plants that repel ants. I have found a few and actually had some growing in the yard, but who knew I would need them before cutting grass. Its amazing what we do for our critters. I really did not mean to spend as much as i have building this enclosure. BUT its been fun.

Castle Mott /Tally Memorial

Progress IS being made, Mott the Rescued Box turtle does live in his enclosure as of Good Friday and appears to be happy. I still have more work to do but I am enjoying the process. I have planted Hosta, green beans, squash, grasses etc inside along with a stream Moat. I did have to cut branches for Mott to hid amongst till the plants get some size to them. He has a stump he favors to hide under and a Boston fern. More pix to come.

I'm also adding a memorial to the front behind the wall for my little Italian Greyhound of 16 years and a Lab of 13 years. Tally I helped across the Rainbow Bridge about 3 weeks ago, and Lacy 5 years ago. I'ts going to take a couple months on the Memorial and I'll explain why in future updates as its way to stressful to talk about at the moment. I sure miss my little shadow.
