Mike, 
I always use a mixture of standard potting ground and sand in a 50/50 or
30/70 mix, I think this is more a less seed soil.
But never try to let your plans mature in it ( you don't let you kid's
running around in diapers till there 18 years and feed them with babyfood),
if they are 2-3 cm high plant them in good soil and don't forget to 'feed'
them, water alone will not work.
I use grain fertilizer suitable for tomatoes, works well.

To start... I don't know, but is very dependent on where you located,...
North-Pole never start, going more south maybe in January? I don't know...
But I think you'll get plenty response on it.

SUCCESS and hot regards
Rob
