I have seen Swiss chard overwinter even here in MA, with its near zero temps.

But not tomatoes (10-31-2022).

Middle-Snow-10-31

Meanwhile, as of 7-29-2023, overall good growth, if too much foliage (need more potassium?), with green toms forming, thank God

They’re getting too much Nitrogen if you have that much growth and foliage.

Use a higher MIDDLE number on the NPK scale for more Potassium for blooming and fruit set.

That said, you always seem to get a good harvest out of that little plot of yours. ;)

In NY I had lettuce overwinter being buried in the snow.
