when to start in coastal so cal?

[DK2021]

When I lived in San Diego I would start tomatoes as early as late January. Black from Tula, Black Krim, Paul Robeson seemed to do well started that early. But I hedged my bets and started additional tomatoes as the year went on. I was in La Jolla and University City so close to the coast, but we had southern exposure and lived on the south-facing edge of a canyon which seemed to help with earlier clearing of June Gloom.
