Yes, tomatoes do great. Please re-read my post. I didn't say they wouldn't work, just that they might do better if you wait until closer to spring to sow them. I'd recommend sowing your hardy annuals and perennials in January and February, tender ones in late Feb. or March, depending on your weather.

"However, tender perennials and annuals might do better if you wait until closer to spring to sow. The problem is if you sow in January and they sprout in an early warm spell in late Feb. or early March, the seedlings might freeze and croak when the freezing weather inevitably returns. You can cover them with a sheet on cold nights, but life is easier if you wait to sow until closer to spring."
