Abstract:
The province of Nova Scotia is a
most favorable area for strawberry
fruit and plant production.
Winter
temperatures rarely go as low as zero
degree Fahrenheit, and normally there
is sufficient snow cover to keep the
plants well protected.
New foliage
growth appears in late April and
plants remain active until the middle
of October.
During the summer
the average monthly rainfall of three
inches is usually adequate, although
many growers haye irrigation systems
for insurance.
The summer temperature
rarely reaches 100°F. July is our
warmest month, with an average
temperature of 66°F. This favorable
climate is mainly due to the bodies
of water which surround this seaside province.
