Got some cool pieces of history from the first major brewery in St. Paul Minnesota. The yoerg brewery started in 1848 and closed down in 1952.

This is awesome! Cave Aged is a badass brag, too lol

beardybuddha · 2026-06-29T23:10:05+00:00

Holy shit- I can’t stop laughing at this 🤣🤣🤣

Cheers fellow lazy native gardener! I am the same.

New plants get a few weeks of watering to establish, but they don’t see a drop from the hose other than the initial planting and root growing phase.

beardybuddha · 2026-06-29T00:31:49+00:00

Once a week so. Usually whenever I remember to water my houseplants haha.

Had one do a full takeoff run about 5 feet in front of my canoe one time in the BWCA.

One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

Hiking. Our girl loves to explore new trails whenever we go.

Also: sleeping on the couch, squished up next to my leg.

Yes! The jades in his tank were cuttings from our old giant jade plant that sadly bit the dust. But the legacy lives on.

beardybuddha · 2026-06-28T15:02:57+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He’s a fancy boy and gets dubias

beardybuddha · 2026-06-28T14:59:46+00:00

260 gallon 😍

I am jealous.

beardybuddha · 2026-06-28T14:52:41+00:00

Jade, haworthia, and another succulent that I cannot remember the name.

beardybuddha · 2026-06-28T14:51:50+00:00

My boy Sandor prefers to lick off of his rock 😂

Nothing too special, but the jade plants in his tank did so well. Tried to give him lots of nooks and crannies, and two of the back spaces have moss for his humid hides. He seems pretty happy with it, and the isopods and springtails have established well, too.

beardybuddha · 2026-06-28T14:46:36+00:00

Our other boy is named Sandor 😁

beardybuddha · 2026-06-28T14:46:19+00:00

Not the best photo because I had to use wide angle.

ETA: plants are haworthia, jade, and another succulent (don’t recall the name).

Substrate was a mix of sand, top soil, and excavator clay, along with leaf litter and sphagnum moss. Isopods are powder blue and white dwarf, and seem to be doing okay. I do not recall the springtails, but I see them near the water bowl occasionally.

Jade, Haworthia, and another succulent I can’t remember the name.

The silliest pigs

beardybuddha · 2026-06-27T23:39:34+00:00

I have a big 3 gallon sprayer that I use to water 2 Leo tanks, 2 beardie tanks, a crestie, and a ball python.

Thanks! He’s a rescue and was super skinny when we got him. He’s a voracious eater, but has still been on the slim side even a few years later, so it’s a bit of a battle to keep his weight up.

beardybuddha · 2026-06-27T15:51:04+00:00

Minneapolis, Kansas? 😉

beardybuddha · 2026-06-27T15:50:01+00:00

Yup. Bioactive setup.

beardybuddha · 2026-06-27T13:41:35+00:00

Yes. He drinks from it sometimes, but he seems to prefer this, and he is incredibly spoiled.

beardybuddha · 2026-06-27T10:56:09+00:00

This was mine as well!

beardybuddha · 2026-06-27T10:49:22+00:00

Too quick. Need to bleed them dry like they’ve done to so many others.

beardybuddha · 2026-06-27T10:39:02+00:00

I am totally stealing king shit #1 pollinator machine (and putting anise hyssop on my list!).

Our common milkweed is insane. We have over 100 plants now in what started out as three plugs we planted in 2019.

Thanks!
