I grew some tomatoes and pepper plants in June. The plants grew like crazy but very few and very little tomatoes and one little pepper.. When is the best time to start planting seeds and then plant them in the ground.

best time to set out transplants in Tampa--late march, early april.
from seed it takes plants about a month to get big enough to transplant. so start seeds in mid feb.
plants producing very few tomatoes- several things could be the cause of this. most likely-too much nitrogen fertilizer. planted in too shady place, too hot at night. (for late planted tomatoes, june is late, hot night is a likely cause).night temps in 80's, plants will not set fruit.

Buy plants, seeds take forever.

sounds like it is not when you plant, but the soil in which you plant them...check fertility
