Some of this evenings harvest, all organic of course!
12 Broccoli 6" wide
16 Savoy Cabbage
18 Italian Pepper
20 Green Beans
Tomatoes are late this season. I doubt any eggplant this season, too cool and a bit too wet.

Lovely produce. We've had tomatoes since mid-July here in NJ. My hubby got Ramapo tomato seeds from Rutgers University, and boy are the tomatoes delicious.

Rutgers just had seeds made this year. Seems Ramapo went out of favor with farmers because it only grows best in the Eastern States. So seed production was stopped decades ago...someone at Rutgers decided to bring it back and boy I'm so glad they did...they are excellent.

Thanks that's good to know. I grew up in Bergen County and that was one variety my dad grew. I shall look for some seeds next year!

Warm enough today to change the oil in the tractor to 5W-30 (winter
oil). It's been so cold here the motor didn't want to turn over with
straight 30 weight (summer oil). Had some fun pushing the various snow banks around
and I took a trip cross country with the tractor and snow thrower to
clear a path to the garden. Going to be planting peas in 6 weeks!

So far this really feels like a real Winter in the City. It's been a long time since I recall snow hanging around for so long and so many days below freezing. Still waiting for this year's blizzard though.
