Plant them in the ground, outside, when the ground temperature reaches a consistent 65 degrees. Anything less may stunt the plant. Peppers may need even it even warmer.
Note that by "ground temperature" we mean literally the temperature of the dirt, which is why container and raised bed tomatoes will grow much faster, much earlier in the year; the dirt warms up sooner.
You can start them from seeds, indoors, up to eight weeks before planting them in the ground, depending on the conditions you use...larger containers allow you to start them earlier.

∙ 13y agoIf you're starting tomato plants from seed, start them indoors under strong lights in a warm room 6 weeks before the last frost date for your area. You can find out the last frost date by contacting your county or regional agricultural extension office, or googling "last frost date" + (your)location.
Frost kills tomatoes, and they grow very slowly in cold, but not frosty, weather, so it's best to plant them in the ground only after all danger of frost has passed. This can be early March in some locations, or as late as mid-june in others.

You can plant the seeds in containers inside the house in January. By April or May you will have nice sized plants to transplant into your garden.

∙ 14y agoIt is best to plant tomatoes when all danger of frost in your area is past. Either plant starts from your local garden shop or start seeds six weeks prior to last frost inside. As you set either out, harden them off by introducing them to the outside conditions a little at a time. If you have them planted and a surprise frost is coming, protect them by watering them and covering them with a plastic milk carton with one end cut away.
