I'm in NW NC(foothills), and about Mar 1, I start the cool weather plants(seeds), chard, kale, etc. , and about the third week of Mar, I start the seeds for tomatoes and peppers and whatever else can be started, but only indoors. Those peppers and tomatoes go into the ground about the second week of May, depending on the extended forecast.
