Is there any particular variety (probably a cherry) you would reccomend for this combination of ciurcumstances? I would look for those seeds this year and try them next year:
1. container, like 5 gallon bucket
2. early because my warm season is fairly short even thoguh frost-free is long
3. adapted to cool weather, because my summer is barely warm and certainly not "hot".
4. perhaps setting seedlings out under plastic for up to 2-3 months (March through May)
Here are some seeds I already have, mostly not adapted to containers:
Ildi - - - - - - - -(Extra early but INDET?)
Sungold - - - - (Extra early but INDET?)
"Sub Artic Cherry" - - EARLY DET PINK larger than cherry
Gold Nugget Yellow Cherry - - - - - (EXTRA Early ?)
"Santa" Cherry or "Santa Sweets" - - - (COOL SUMMER, INDET)
"Husky Cherry Red" - - - - - - - - - - - EARLY , SEMI-DET?
Yellow Pear
non-cherry but early & cool:
"Sub Artic Plenty" - Very Early DET 3-6 feet
'Oregon Spring' - - EXTRA-EARLY COOL CLIMATE DET?
