You can use wall-o-waters to plant some of them out early (or all of them if you want to buy dozens of wall-o-waters). I'm in zone 7a and have the same last frost date of April 15th, but using the wall-o-waters I'm able to plant my tomatos in the beginning of March and my peppers in mid March. That gives me room inside to then start my cukes, squash, etc.

Here's a tomato in a wall-o-water from last year - this pic was taken in the beginning of April and the plant was just a wee little seedling when I planted it outside in early March - as you can see it grew quite well in it's warm little home. By the time I take the teepees off in late April the plants have grown way out the top of it.
