Early Early Early

I started my first seeds of the year yesterday. A few tomatoes and peppers is all, but I'm hoping to be ahead of the game when it comes to transplant time. I've never planted this early, and really don't have a clue how it's going to turn out, but I'm thinking I've got a shot at June tomatoes, if everything works out.

I put a heating pad under the pan to warm the dirt and and covered the top with plastic to keep heat and humidity in. When I have germination, I'll put a drop light over them at night, and give them as much sunlight in the window as I can. I'll probably start some squash and cucumbers next month.
I plan on growing these early ones as container plants and eventually moving them to the field.
