Mightyscott, if you are doing seeds, go to Wally World and get the little jiffy expandable peat pellets- Soak them in water, they will puff up, and then plant seeds in them. I just set mine in square microwave and take-home tubs and poped the celar lid back on them. Keep them warm and sunny and water them from the bottom.
By the time you are ready to plant your plants will have a head start and then just plant them peat pot and all. Before you plant them it is a good idea to let them become used to being out in the fresh air for a day or two and then plant them. Going from Steamy "Greenhouse" to Out InTheGarden is a bit rough on some.
Remember to bury the tomatoes deep - bury them right up to the top set of leaves and then pile more dirt up on them in about a week. They will make that whole stem into a root system.

This is the first tomato on my Marion tomato bush. Planted it from a 2" potted seed;ing on April 12. My Patio Cherry tomatoes are showing nice fruit now, too.
