Vegetable Varieties for Gardens (VVfG) Program

VVTG is a project from Cornell for its Cooperative Extension programs with demonstration  vegetable gardens that collects information about vegetables of interest to home gardeners.  The results are compiled in a database, and the selected vegetables ultimately appear in Cornell's Selected List of Garden Varieties for Gardeners in New York State.  However, participation in the VVTG program is not restricted to Master Gardeners.  Anyone may share their vegetable gardening experiences by going to the VVTG website, creating an account and submiting reports.  Gardeners contributing information get to see the detailed ratings and other gardener's  comments about particular vegetable varities.

For 2018 Rensselaer County's Master Gardeners will again participate in VVTG at its Demonstration Garden located on Route 146 at the Robert C. Parker School in North Greenbush.

Our efforts will be divided among those master gardeners who chose to grow plants suggested by Cornell and those  who want to grow other varieties for comparative purposes.  Our experiences throughout the growing season will appear in the blog.
