Sow seed indoors around the middle of March to the end of April if you intend to grow your tomatoes outside. You cannot leave them outside overnight until all danger of frost is past which in Central England is estimated to be mid to late May.
If your seeds are sown mid March, they should be about ready to go into their final pot or grow bag mid to late May... about 8 to 10 weeks after sowing.
It is best if your plants are in flower before you put them into their final position and new compost, or they will grow lots of leaves which will delay flowering.
When it says that a variety is 56 days from transplanting, it means that you should be able to pick 56 days after planting them in their final position. I estimate that if you sow around the middle of March, plant in their final position in mid-May, you should be picking around the middle of July.
