Garden tomatoes in winter?

Ok, so my gardening routine is about as constant as my blogging...few and far between. But I wandered out there this week to see what the rain and wind had done to it and low and behold there were 5, yes 5 beautiful red tomatoes. I expected everything to be dead (which is what happens in the summer if you neglect it), but then I remembered why I love winter gardens!
And why I love living in California!
