$3.00 off today only! On Mel’s Mix

Tonight I gave my first Square Foot Gardening presentation for the new year for the Muskingum County Master Gardeners in Zanesville, Ohio. There were nearly 40 in attendance!

I may have been hacked

I am receiving weird messages from my email account which makes me concerned that you are too. It appears as though I have been hacked and I apologize if you have received erroneous emails. I have changed my password and hope that that will fix the problem. Gotta love modern technology. *sigh*

That weird communication thing

Do you have trouble saying NO to a friend’s request?  Does it hurt to hear the rejection of a NO?  How good are you at setting boundaries? Honoring the boundaries of others? Do you say MAYBE when you really mean NO? Do you want to laugh more? Feel better? Make new friends? Then this event [...]

Need more money? (Who doesn’t?)

Do you find there is more month than money? Been looking for a job but can’t find one? Are you underemployed? Want to save for a vacation, retirement or a college fund? Or do you just want to save money on the household necessity items that your family is already buying (such as toothpaste, laundry [...]

I finally did it! New Cassie’s Garden Stuff website.

For years, I’ve had just one site – www.CassiesStuff.com – and most of my public speaking presentations have been about Square Foot Gardening. But I am expanding my speaking repertoire and thought it would be a good idea to offer a separate site for my gardening clients. I’ve been thinking about this for a long [...]
