The sampler plan

Sample these birthday gifts: a worm farm, a stack of planters, kid size gardening tools for my little helpers, and a two tap kegerator.

I have become a straw-bale garden with fantastic harvests. And I have become more of a container gardener since adding to the house a couple puppies. I now have a pack of four; two pointers, a black lab, and a rotten lab (rottweiler-lab mix). The dogs squashed my gardening space down with all their excursions through the beds. Luckily the blueberries and mangos and citrus were large enough to take the tail and trail trimming.

We finally set up the kegerator yesterday and made a visit to Playalinda brewery for a lunch and came home with two ales. Robonaut Red Ale and Pleasure Chest IPA. We let them rest overnight before tapping this morning. Will wait until after my garden chores are complete to take a sip before going to see Avengers: Endgame. I get tickets to the movie free; as a movie mystery shopper. Yippee.

Here is one of my begonias. I have taken to growing a variety along the shaded northside of our house.
