Bite me, Cold weather!!!

In Fall 2007 we trekked across the country from Kentucky to Montana. Needless to say the climate is dramatically different from one to the other. I grew up with very humid summers, crisp cool weather in October, cold weather striking in November, many years HOPING for snow on Christmas, and spring showing it's beautiful face in early to mid March.
Our first winter up here was incredibly cold and icy, and felt like it lasted forever! We bought a small mobile home in a trailer court, and I wasn't even able to till the yard until April, much less attempt to plant a garden until May. Of course, I didn't do the research I should have before doing all the work, but work I did!

Then the winter sneaked in on us with somewhere around 8 inches of snow in the middle of October! Needless to say I lost quite a bit of my crop.

The next year it was pretty much the same story, only it did wait until a few days before halloween to frost, instead of full out snow. Luckily I didn't plant much of a garden because we were looking for a place to move most of the summer, plus I just had a baby, so I didn't have much time to do much of anything!
Then last year, we moved into yet another new house in the spring, but also took a long vacation, so I didn't get my seeds started early enough. I went to the local garden house to snag whatever they had left and grew some squash, cabbage, and bellpeppers.

THIS year I am DETERMINED to grow my vegetable garden the way I had it back in Kentucky- big and bountiful! I have a fairly large area in my back yard here, as well as the plot that's got more shade areas over at the trailer (which I now use for my dog grooming business). So I'm prepared with my layouts, research, compost, and organic fertilizers. But I was still having an issue with my seeds! I learned a really inexpensive, easy way to get seeds started in egg crates, but, unfortunately, because of how many plants I WANT to grow, I am lacking room to start the seeds! Initially I had planned on keeping them at the grooming shop, but the heater went out just before Christmas, so I knew it wouldn't work over there, as the cost of keeping them warm would be exponential. And here, I started a few trays out in my laundry room, but when I'm not running the dryer, it's pretty cold in there. So I just had no where to really get my seeds going.

I decided I wanted to get a small seed starting green house from a home improvement store. The family and I went out shopping and I found

this small plant tower greenhouse. It's just over 5 feet tall, 2 feet wide, and 1 foot deep. I thought it would work pretty great because of it's small size, and ease of use.

But, my husband, whom I just adore, always wants the best for me. He knows I've wanted to build an outdoor greenhouse to help extend my vegetable life outside, since our winters strike so early. So he decided I needed a larger greenhouse that I could use for the seed starting AND outside. So he picked this one out for me:

This thing is 6' x 8' x 7'.... and I LOVE it.
So after some measuring and configuring, we decided it would go in the living room to get my seeds going.
I moved my computer desk into the school area, and pulled the TV out and closer to the couch. Then built the greenhouse behind the TV.
And here it is:

The last picture is foggy because I have my humidifier in there to keep it nice and moist and warm :)

So NEENER NEENER Cold weather! You can't stop my seed starting now!
