I'm in Ohio and was wondering if the plants would be strong enough to put outside if started in early April.
I was thinking of starting them in Feb.
To early?

I'm in VT. Most folks here start their seeds indoor for tomatoes & peppers around St. Patty's Day ( Mid March ).

According to the Ohio extension office, which should pertain to Zone 5, and possibly 4, seeds should be started 4 to 12 weeks.  This would be Mid February to Mid April, depending on the plant type.  You will need to research these a little bit, and do not forget to include a period for hardening them out.
