Ramsey Review
Heirloom Tomato Transplant Sale set The Woman’s Club of Ramsey is sponsoring its Sixth Annual Heirloom Tomato Transplant Sale on May 16. The sale will be held at the Masonic Lodge, located on the corner of Lake Street and Franklin Turnpike in Ramsey between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This annual sale is a fundraiser for the Woman’s Club of Ramsey and helps to promote their charitable work. There will be a large variety of heirloom tomato plants offered along with a limited offering of some Heritage Hybrid varieties, the most famous of which is the Ramapo tomato. This variety was known as the “true Jersey tomato” 30 years ago and has not been commercially available for years. This will be the third year the club has been offering the popular Ramapo tomato. This year, the Moreton variety is being featured. This variety was often referred to as the
“Fourth of July” tomato. There will also be a great selection of herb, eggplant, squash, cucumber, artichoke, and pepper plants in addition to the tomato transplants. These are grown by Susan and Richard Sisti of Catalpa Ridge Farm. They have more than 90 different varieties of heirloom tomato plants growing to be offered at the sale on May 16. Pink and yellow Brandywine, Rutgers and yellow pear varieties will continue to be offered. Many varieties have been added this year, such as TamiG, Trophy, Moonglow, Plum Lemon, and Nyagous. Orders will be accepted prior to the sale to be picked up the day of the sale. Anyone who wishes to see the varieties that will be available may visit jerseygrown.com for a complete listing; online orders will be accepted.

When Judge Harris invalidated the previous ordinance, he said sufficient objective information was not presented to the court to sustain the township council’s action to close the road. Harris suggested, however, that if the township could provide sufficient objective evidence, such as traffic counts, or an analysis of the speed of traffic on the road, or verification by objective reports that there are legitimate concerns of pedestrians in the area, there is nothing that prohibits the township from renewing its effort to close the road.
