No.
I would not plant them before the latter half of May.
It's too early. Not until mid May, at the earliest.
I wouldn't..you could still have a frost.plus I would say the ground is still cool so they don't do much .plenty of time I'd wait till may ..however if you have space you could repot and keep inside under gro light
If outside uncovered I'd say not... the final average frost date for this region I believe is May 15.
