When to start in VA

Hey guys, new to this forum but I've been reading posts and it seems like people here are very knowledgeable. I'm in WV and was just curious as to when to start germinating my plants and when to take them out. It's been in the mid 50's lately but I know that's still too cold. I planned on starting them inside for a month or so before taking them outside. When would be a good time to germ my seeds and thus take them out a month later? I am also using FFOF and the three main ferts and know the schedule you get from grow shops will have to be tweaked since they will be growing for more than 12 weeks. If anyone has used those ferts and soil outdoors and has any advice I'd be glad to hear it. Thanks in advance
