First time questions

Duke · March 27, 2011

Hi,

First time poster, first time gardener. I've never grown anything and I decided I would really like to grow my own tomatoes. While searching the Internets for tomato growing wisdom, I stumbled into Tomatoville and after a day perusing the forums and learning lots of interesting things, I went out and bought this on Friday:

And proceeded to build this on Saturday:

I think I have everything except tomatoes! That's why I am posting today. I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly when I can plant my tomatoes and what kind of tomatoes I should grow. I'm in North Central Indiana which is now USDA zone 6? Is it too late to start some seeds indoors? Should I buy some starters from the local greenhouse? Since its a container and the grow mix is warmer than the ground can I wheel it out earlier? I don't want to wait until mid May! Sorry for all the questions!
