Text Box: “The Avalon Vegetable Garden” Text Box: “The Avalon Vegetable Garden” A Newfoundland Horticultural Society Guide by Ian R. Senciall Betty Hall (Illustrator) There is not a lot that is unique to growing vegetables on the Avalon Peninsula, apart from the relatively short season and poor native soil. However, given a half-decent summer and the time and effort to improve your soil there is no reason that you cannot grow an extensive range of vegetables. This booklet, (67 pages) shows you how, whether your ambition is a 4 x 4 foot plot, or half an acre. The vegetables are admirably illustrated by Betty Hall to help you identify them. Hopefully you will be enticed to want to have a go so that you can experience the pleasure, not only of gardening, but also of eating your own fresh grown produce.
