You can start them in the house and then transplant when all signs of frost have gone.
Here are some great links for you!

I would contact your local Ag Extension too.

Just wait until the danger of frost is over, rough up the ground a little, getting rid of vegetation close to where you are planting, and shove the seed(s) into the ground about 1/2 to 1" and cover with dirt. Your plants will need full sun and a LOT of room.
