The message
from "hort-4" contains these words:

slugs and snails

turtles/tortoises eat them (snip) our climate resembles Greece's.

That's irrelevant to UK gardening in general and the OP in particular.

Even the conditions in the south of England can't be compared with those in
Bury or the north in general, I live in Leeds and couldn't be guided by
anyone south of the Bristol Channel.

Also, some people do have tortoises and turtles as pets even up here. I
didn't know they consumed slugs and/or snails so I was interested to read
that.
