I live in the new jersey area and was wondering when is a good time to plant my plants and wether or not i should start them inside
 
You give your plants a big advantage starting them inside IF YOU HAVE A GROWROOM SET UP. Ideally they should be about a foot tall when you "harden them off" (get them ready for outside by taking them out for 1 hour 1 day, 2 hours the next, etc., until they are acclimated to their new environment.

To find out the best time for planting in your area, call a local nursery and ask them when the last danger of frost usually is; plan to plant outside then.
 
thanks, i have a little room that i use to start plants but they died last year once i put them outside they were like 6 inches. thanks for the help
 
Frost Chart for United States

Also see our Frost Chart for Canada.

DATES GIVEN are normal averages for a light freeze (32 degrees F); local weather and topography may cause considerable variations. The possibility of frost occurring after the spring dates and before the fall dates is 50 percent. The classification of freeze temperatures is usually based on their effect on plants, with the following commonly accepted categories: Light freeze: 29 degrees F to 32 degrees F -- tender plants killed, with little destructive effect on other vegetation. Moderate freeze: 25 degrees F to 28 degrees F -- widely destructive effect on most vegetation, with heavy damage to fruit blossoms and tender and semihardy plants. Severe freeze: 24 degrees F and colder -- damage to most plants.
