Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners in NYS For detailed descriptions and seed sources of more than 5,000 vegetable varieties including those listed on the 2008 Selected List of Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners in NYS.	2011 Selected List of Vegetable Varieties for HomeGarden Use in New York State Vegetable varieties listed in this report should be well adapted for NYS home garden use, offer relatively high quality, be dependable, possess disease and insect resistance when possible, and have a relatively long harvest period.

There is a Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners website. Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners is a citizen science program The concept is simple: View ratings and read reviews of vegetable varieties at this site to help decide which might perform best in your garden.

While you're visiting, contribute your own reviews and ratings to our database to share with your fellow gardeners which varieties performed best or which performed not so well for you. (You'll need to create a garden profile to rate and review vegetables.)

Just to avoid confusion, when we refer to a crop we mean a type of vegetable, such as tomatoes or beans. When we refer to a variety, we mean a type of crop, or cultivar, such as ' Brandywine' tomatoes or 'Kentucky Wonder' beans.
This site makes it easy for gardeners to compare more than 5,000 varieties, read ratings and reviews by fellow gardeners, and offer their own observations of which perform best in their gardens.
