#3cccJournal2TwittBook Our greenhouse project incorporates two goals: 1) grow our Sower Seeds to test our varieties for this northern 2776

#3cccJournal2TwittBook ..climate and 2) turn our variety trails into a money making venture by selling some as bedding plants and 2777

#3cccJournal2TwittBook ..hanging plants and planting the rest to grow harvestable crops. Obviously, we must keep records of our trials 2778

#3cccJournal2TwittBook ..and then sell the excess produce, which is often easier said then done. However, the Digby, Nova Scotia area, 2779

#3cccJournal2TwittBook ..just a few miles from Bear River, looks to be an ideal outlet for our produce, since it is a tourist area with 2780

#3cccJournal2TwittBook ..survive the brutal monotony was to develop a rhythm and sing to that rhythm as I worked. I also learned how to 2787

#3cccJournal2TwittBook ..let the pick do much of the work. By swinging it over my head then yanking the pick towards me as it entered 2788

#3cccJournal2TwittBook ..the ground, I preserved enough of the pick’s physical inertia to keep it moving on it’s own power, down, 2789

#3cccJournal2TwittBook ..around, then up and down, in a never-ending arc. It amazed me at how effortless this motion seemed, 2790

#3cccJournal2TwittBook ..when compared to the usual way people use a pick. 2791
