Description

  • Planting disease-resistant vegetables helps you harvest longer and avoid losing entire crops to common problems like blight, mildew, and viral infections
  • Hybrids such as Mountain Merit tomato and Emerald Delight zucchini are bred to block or slow pathogens, giving you more reliable yields
  • Heirlooms like Black Cherry tomato and Homemade Pickles cucumber show natural resilience, allowing you to save seeds while keeping your garden productive
  • Seed catalogs and databases provide easy codes and guides so you can choose the varieties that match the disease pressures in your region
  • Combining resistant plants with smart practices — like mulching, crop rotation, and removing infected leaves — further protects your harvest and reduces stress
