Most of those plants are great choices, it will provide a lot of food if your tortoise isn't a real big one which destroys plants. The walnut trees are problematical, they have alelopathic (sp?) tendencies, they inhibit other plants from growing with natural chemicals, limiting the plants that will grow under them. Periwinkle can be horribly invasive, and is viny, I wouldn't use it if you have the option of getting rid of it. I haven't looked them all up for toxicity, but I am suspicious about periwinkle. Sounds like a fun project. Rose of Sharon flowers are a real favorite of reptile herbivores. If your climate allows, you might want to plant some spineless prickly pear "nopales" cacti, protect them at first or they will be relentlessly over-browsed. Good luck, Vic
