Cornell's Citizen Science Site Wants You
Cornell University wants your opinion.
At Cornell's citizen science site, Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners, every participant is a member of a national community of growers.
If you do not have time or the inclination to enter data about the varieties you grow this year and how successful they are, you can search the information contributed by other gardeners.
For example, click on Browse Crops and a list of dozens of vegetables, fruits and herbs appears. Click on mustard and ratings for varieties appear - everything from Suehlihung No to Ragged Edge and Ruby Streaks is rated by growers.
