I start my tomatoes 6 weeks before I plan to put them outside. For me, that is March 1 for an April 15 plant out date. Starting them earlier than that does me no good. They get too big to keep under the lights. Tomatoes are very fast growers once they get started.

you can start as late as April on the east coast. yer in Arizona? you get far better weather and should plant the first chance you get for a nice long grow season. it's never too late.
 
It all really depends on when you plan on planting out. For me my plant out date is the last week in May and I have started my seeds as late as mid March with no problems.
 
Really depends on your climate, but a general rule for tomatoes, and many of your other grow projects is to start them inside about 6-8 8 weeks before the last frost. Just add a couple of weeks to that to be sure you have solid plants by that date.
If you're in the Phoenix area, then I definitely would get them going very soon.
 
Are you starting all these outdoors in a garden or indoors in pots. Some varieties could use a start indoors while others just need to be planted in the garden
I'd suggest starting C. chinense peppers right away indoors and then your C. annuums and eggplants and your strawberries in like a month or so. Lettuce likes the cool weather, cantaloupes and watermelon need lots of heat.
 
I was going to start some of it indoors and some directly into the garden all the tomatoes peppers egg plants cucumbers and melon will be started in doors the lettuce will be grown totally indoors or the heat will make it bitter and everything else will be started out doors
