Vegetable growing

Abstract

Most European-type vegetables can be grown in Papua and New Guinea, in areas which are sufficiently elevated to provide a
temperate-like climate. Generally speaking, vegetables can be sown at any time of the year in the Highlands, provided they can be watered adequately, because the temperature does not vary much from season to season, and there is a fairly constant day length throughout the year. Even at sea-level it is possible to grow some vegetables such as beans, tomatoes, pumpkins and Mignonette lettuce.
