Living in Edinburgh, UK (Southern Scotland, coastal), I sowed my
tomato seeds at the very beginning of April this year as our frosts
gasped their last. The toms I planted were some patio ones maturing in
55 days determinate and a 75-80 day indeterminate climber. I planted a
few more than I had pots and today offered them on our local recycling
mailing list and was totally swamped with requests to pick them up.

What is the window for planting these sort of toms and still getting a
crop? I was thinking do I still have time to plant more or should I
wait till next season. Our growing season here really starts in April,
plant outdoors in early May, expect them to be dieing off in early
October.

My growing season on the US mid-Atlantic coast is about the same as your
season. I plant my late season tomat seeds (52 day Early Girl -
indeterminate vine) in mid-June and set them in the garden mid-July. They
start ripening mid-September and go until the late October frost.
