I'm on the same plant out schedule and I started peppers and eggplants a week ago. Typically I'd start tomatoes at the end of March. But my seedling grow in a 62-65f basement. If yours will be in a warmer environment, they'll grow faster so you could probably wait a bit longer than I do.
And I just use sheets of plastic wrap over the trays then remove it once I see sprouting.
