Is it an F1 hybrid. If it is, the seed wont be true to the plant.
If you buy Sun Gold tomato seeds, the planting times are as follows:
"For greenhouse cultivation: sow from February to March.
For outdoor cultivation: sow from March to April."

However planting seeds taken from existing plants simply won't produce the results that you're hoping for because the plants are F1 hybrids.
