What variety of vegetables should I plant?

[Farmer]

If you have gone to your local garden center to purchase started vegetable plants or browsed a seed catalogue of vegetables lately, you may find yourself over whelmed by the wide variety of vegetables that are available to the home gardener.

Here is a source of information from the Citizen Science Program at Cornell University to help in choosing productive and tasty varieties to plant. If you are an experienced gardener, you can contribute your own ratings for others to view.

Re: What variety of vegetables should I plant?

I talk to experienced neighborhood gardeners and a local seed store to find out what varieties preform well in my area. They have told me what works and what didn't and what varieties worked well despite drought or wet conditions. I am blessed with having a lot of Amish owned and run fruit and vegtables stands in the area to draw on for expert information and hands on experience.
