Most parts of the country are pretty frozen right now, but if you're in the South or Southwest, there are a few things I can recommend. Leafy greens (lettuces, spinach, kale, chard, etc), cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, thyme, sage, rosemary, and mint will all grow during the winter in places that don't regularly get temperatures below freezing. There aren't any fruits that you could plant now and eat anytime this season though. Samantha–Where do you live?

Only problem is I have no idea how they are getting pollinated, because there are only female flowers and the seed packet never suggested they were parthenocarpic! Not to mind, the end product is smallish but sweet and crunchy and delicious.
