Oh, how wonderful! It's good to feel the earth, isn't it? What a great photo of you too!

You look really happy. Plus, a great picture. Happy gardening!

Fantastic, Beth. I can't wait to see what you do with your plot! You look joyful. Great pic.

Congratulations on the new plot and the blogging milestone! May the plot thicken.

Marvellous that you got the plot so soon after you wished for it, Beth, and what a lovely photo of you (J's ever-ubiquitous camera?). Montrealers seem so well-organised and friendly, have they found the secret to combining community spirit with big-city living?

Yay, Beth! How wonderful! I may have to come over and visit... I want to be that happy, too. :-D

I'm excited for you too.
Especially following an article on the BBC Health Page

"Just five minutes of exercise in a "green space" such as a park can boost mental health, researchers claim."

So while you're helping to keep yourself happy and healthy you will also be contributing to the health and happiness of passers-by

Parfait, n'est-ce pas?

Congratulations! What a great way to spend May Day!

We are sooooo jealous of your mention of having Latin plant names in common with the other gardeners. Here in Turkey it is a constant battle to name plants: few Turks know Latin names; Turkish common names are a minefield with one plant having several different names depending on which part of the country you are in. Oh for people who know their Latin plant names!

Fingers in the soil, planning for future flowers are such a good feelings. Congrats!

Congratulations -- and it's so wonderful to see that smile blossom on your face in the photo!

oh, it sounds wonderful. i love urban/community gardens. i come from good gardening stock, but have only succeeded myself in bursts and spurts. one good year. two years of nothing. we have an acre and we really should do stuff with it. it's been a helluva three years for me: maybe soon i can get my head around doing some of that work. inspired!

It's a great time to garden ! We are growing Peppers, carrots and roses!

Congratulations on reaching your 1000th post. I love your blog and really enjoy reading it but I think I saw that your domain is about to be auctioned at godaddy.com. If you go to https://auctions.godaddy.com - you can go check it out for yourself cassandrapages.com is in the top ten to be sold. I just wanted to save you the trouble of trying to fight for it back once it is sold.

Good Luck with your garden ! I can't wait to see more

Wonderful photo, and congratulations on your garden! Saturday was a perfect day for beginning--not only the date, but the weather!

Wonderful news, Beth. Congratulations and happy gardening.

I'm bewildered by Marjorie's comment: how can cassandrapages be auctioned off without your knowledge or agreement? If you own a domain, who has the right to put it up for sale?? Can somebody please explain?

Nobody does, but this was a very close call. The reminder from GoDaddy had gone into J.'s spam folder a month earlier so the domain had actually expired, although we thought we had renewed it. Apparently, the minute domains expire, they are eligible for auction. We called them in the nick of time - in our case we had 30 days past expiration to renew - and it's OK, but we had to pay extra. The auction was set for 4 days from then, and there were already considerable bids for my domain! I was completely shocked, and very grateful that two people had sent me notifications that they'd seen it in the auction listings.

That's was a scary close call with your domain name. Good thing you had friends watching out for you.

Congrats on your 1000th post. That's a big accomplishment and takes a lot a dedication.

Who was Cassandra?


  • In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
