Seed catalog created specifically for New Yorkers

Cornell's Garden-Based Learning Program has released a vegetable seed catalog that is specifically tailored for New Yorkers. The catalog was developed using over a decade of community science data from the Vegetable Varieties for Gardeners website, and includes 40+ crops and 190+ varieties that are based on highly reviewed varieties that New Yorkers are having success growing. Access the seed catalog here:https://smallfarms.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Vegetable-Varieties-for-NY-Gardeners-Catalog-3.pdf

Migration Alert!! An estimated 400 million birds will be in the air across the U.S. tonight, as they migrate toward their breeding grounds. The next few mornings should be great for getting out birding, and it's setting up most of the country nicely for a busy Global Big Day on Saturday! But with so many birds aloft at night, it's also important to turn off nonessential outdoor lighting and to treat reflective windows to help the birds get safely to their destinations.
