Six to eight weeks before you want to plant, which is generally (depending on your microclimate) when your temperatures are consistently above 32 degrees. See Rutgers (NJ) fact sheet below. You can make it earlier if you use row covers... Planting time would be approximately March/April (see wunderground link below), so that would mean you should start your seeds 6-8 weeks before then.
When is the best time to start tomato plants from seed to be ready for spring planting? (New York)?
Now (early March) would be the time to plant them as they would be ready to transplant to outside come early May. If you are planting your tomatos in containers, you can plant them as early as February so that they are large come June once the bees start to make their rounds.
This is also the time of year to plant any other cold weather crops that will be transplanted.
