Outside grazing

When do your tortoises go out?
I'm currently building my outdoor enclosure but was wondering when you put yours out for the summer. I know it depends on weather but I'm hoping that it will be soon so they make the mostof the sunlight

Joe goes out by day now if the sun's out. Weather permitting, he'll be out full time by the end of April

Mine too are going out if the sun's shining, they have a greenhouse to retreat to if it gets cool.
