How are you gardens doing? My snow peas and tomatoes are still yielding!

I live in the Eastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. In Summer, this is a good area for growing corn, green beans, tomatoes, sunflowers, and other fairly standard garden goodies.
But our Winters are interesting. It's usually in the upper 50s during the day here, dropping to the 30s or 40s at night. And then there's the occasional freeze, with temperatures dropping into the 20s at night.
My standard Winter "crop" is snow peas, which are fairly cold-resistant, and yield until the Spring. But what's interesting this year is that my tomato plants are still going strong as well. I have a couple of new cherry tomatoes forming, and I'm hoping I'll be able to harvest them in a week or two. I munched a couple of snow peas yesterday.
Does anything grow through the Winter where you are? The photo is of some Roma tomatoes I harvested out a Kaiser, where I do my notorious "illegal planting."

Mine is a flowers and fruits garden. Am thinking of having some vegetables in the New Year. Your tomatoes look healthy

@TheHorse Today I have worn a polo necked sweater an indication that it is cold here but no snow or ice. It is cool and towards the noon it turns warm.

It's nice to see post like this after having read and seen photos of snow and just snow and how cold the weather is in some parts of the world.
We don't have winter here so we can grow plants all year round.

@TheHorse Yeah right and we have only summer and rainy season to speak of.

Looks like it is green fried tomatoes time. We've had too many freezing days here to have any garden left.
