I personally would never start in February. They would be too leggy and too big to transplant well. General recommendations is 6-8 weeks before plant out. I also wouldn't have enought room for all those large plants in the house, and I don't try to rush them out into the garden with all kinds of stuff to protect them. Good luck with yours. We are supposed to have warmer than normal weather this spring so maybe we can plant out a bit earlier than usual. I planted about 65 seeds and have more to do. I only have room in garden for 12-16 plants and then a few in pots. The rest are given to family, friends and coworkers.
