Ernie,

I am a big fan of seed buying. I usually grow things in community pots. I have trays left over from plugs that I use on some of my jobs. I buy the seeds of plants I find interesting, but, not generally available locally. I drop 3 or more seeds in a cell, cover them and water. Some times I will cover the trays or containers with white plastic - it helps keep the moisture level even.

Building a small unheated greenhouse would seem like a good idea in a cool climate.

I was looking thru JL Hundson's tomato varieties, they offer Sub Arctic Plenty and another called San Francisco Fog - good for cool climates. At $2.50 for a pkg they seem cheap. A started tomato plant, a small one, runs a couple bucks in this neck of the woods.
