Tomato Seeds

I have reserved some seeds from my sun gold tomatoes this year which have been gorgeous, when is the best time to plant these seeds next year.

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.

" . . .seed collected from an Fl hybrid will not produce plants the same as those from which it is collected. Only by crossing the pure lines can the variety be made - and only the original breeder has the necessary pure lines"
