Tomato Fail

So I've learned that planting tomatoes at the wrong time are an epic fail.  For some reason, even with the help of the grow bulbs, the tomato plant vines would grow, but the flower buds will always shrivel up and fall off prematurely.  Obviously no tomato fruits will grow if the flower buds die before their time.

So a few questions for the tomato growers out there.  When is the best time for me to plant tomatoes in the desert-like environment of the Inland Empire?  I will try some plants from seeds and some that are already growing from Home Depot.  The winds where I live are pretty strong and cold at times.  What should I do to help protect my plants from the rougher elements?  Any advice would be much appreciated!
