Welcome to ATP Ruth. I don't have advice for starting tomato seeds as this will be my first year trying also. But I do think you picked a very nice tomato variety to grow.

I guess you know that this is one of the intros from Wild Boar Farms -

They have the most interesting tomato varieties. Going to have afew of them myself this year including Berkeley Tie Dye and Pink Berkeley Tie Dye.

Yes this will be my 1st yr. for growing tomatoes from seed and I read in our local paper that these are great producers and very tasty. Going to get started this wk.

Ruth bi-color tomato are a fun addition to your garden.

Your selection is a mid-season tomato, expect it to come ripe late in July in your zone.

Do you have grow lights of some sort, Ruth? If not, you may want wait a few more weeks before planting your tomato seeds. The light from normal light bulbs, or even sunlight in a south facing window, won't be enough to keep the little tomato plants happy so they'll need to be moved outside whenever it's reasonably warm and not too windy. There aren't a lot of days like that in February in this part of the world as you well know. Without grow lights, it can be a struggle to keep them alive if you plant them too early.

I have grow lights and planted peppers in mid-January and will plant tomatoes in mid-February. Without grow lights, I'd plant the peppers in mid-February and the tomatoes in mid-March. You are probably a couple weeks earlier than here.
