I’m in the Philadelphia area. Is it too late to start germinating seeds indoors in preparation for planting them when the weather warms up?

No.

Do you know what your average last frost day is?

You need to know your last frost date.

Most seed packets will tell you when to start seeds.. Usually 4-6 weeks prior to setting out.

Count back from your last frost date.

Cold hardy plants can usually go out about a month before last frost date.

I did a search and it appears April 15th is the average last frost date in Philadelphia area.
