In spite of the freezing temperatures we've had the last couple of nights, my balcony snow peas are going strong. There are about five peas almost ready for harvest, and some blossoms that will turn to peas soon.
Surprisingly, my tomato plants are also doing OK, and I see a couple of tomatoes out there, one of which is turning red. I think of tomatoes as a warm weather plant.
Do you have anything growing right now? When will you do your Spring planting? I'm thinking of starting some corn at the preschool in Berkeley, where it never freezes.

Just my houseplants so far, although I did pot a bit of chives in the fall. They're in my kitchen and are a couple inches tall. I'm thinking of starting some tomatoes.

Glad they are so sturdy. We are really in a deep freeze here and the temps are in the minuses night and day.

My kumquats got frozen during a week when we had snow, but now that I've checked them they still seem ok. I can't figure out how something can freeze and then still grow.

I guess I need to start figuring that out. We did really well with tomatoes last year, but our peppers and cucumbers didn't grow. I'd like to grow some lettuces too.

You took me back to a memory years ago We had gone on holiday and my husband's younger brother was keeping house. When we returned we noticed the window next to our entrance door had a broken glass and through that I could see ripe tomatoes on our plant. There were none when we left

It's interesting to see your snow peas growing on your balcony. I'm thinking of planting some flowers and veggies in pots on my deck this spring.
