2009 Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners in New York State
Also remember that our Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners web-based project aims to recruit gardeners to share their opinions on how well varieties are performing in their NYS gardens. To date we have over 900 NYS gardeners registered on the site and they have collectively submitted more than 1,000 reviews. These reviews are already helping shape our recommended list especially with regard to tomatoes. We need your gardeners to weigh in to make Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners the premier tool for vegetable growers to looking to find something that tried and true or new.
Though our on-line library of vegetable variety descriptions is approaching 6,000 gardeners continue to bring to our attention varieties they are growing (and want to review) that we don’t yet have in our list. Registered gardeners have also offered a number of features they would love to see added to the site. Our resources are limited but we have managed to add a few features including images to some of the varieties thanks to seed companies who have sent us their photos. We have nearly 6,000 varieties so we hope many more seed companies are able to share their photos with us. Gardeners can also share their photos of specific varieties with us through the rating form.
