CH's in the South -- Please help!

Last year was my first year in Atlanta.  I grew mostly from bedding plants
in a relatively new garden plot (I think the previous owners may have
gardened the area, say, 10 years ago).  All of my plants did splendidly -- I
lost a couple of jalapenos early in the season to root nematodes, but
eradicated them (by hand) and replanted with no real problems.

However, my tomatoes started to die off en masse around the middle of August
and my chile plants really peaked in, say, late July.  No problems with
other plants.  Everything went into the garden around Easter time, per the
group of "Old Timers" that hang around the barber shop where I get my hair
cut.

So, here is my dilemma -- did I go in too early?  Too late?  And, when
should I be starting my seeds for this year?  Today?  In two weeks?  Two
weeks ago?

Thanks for any help you can give....

Matt
