New app helps growers share information on vegetable performance

A new app that will be released March 20 by University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension is designed to help growers save and share information about how vegetable varieties perform in different locations.

Farmers and gardeners can use the app to rate varieties in terms of taste, yield, and how easy they are to grow and also record other information about a variety, including when it was planted, if it was grown outside or in a greenhouse, if a season extender was used, when it was harvested, and how much was harvested. This information is then roughly correlated with the grower's location and is available for other gardeners who use the app.

The amount of data on vegetable varieties will increase exponentially as more gardeners, farmers, and citizen scientists use the Grow&Tell app. Data will be available for any location in North America.
