I have a couple suggestions...

Moisture... you can get moisture retaining crystals at grow shops/garden ctrs/poss. home dePOT

Pests... moth balls for bugs and coffee grounds for chipmunks

Use pulleys to make your life easier

and finally....

POST PICS!!!!

(I think this is a bit safer than a greenhouse, which is kind of obvious in your area, and if you DO decide to go that route, you might consider a removeable greenhouse made of clear plastic just to get you through the vulnerable seedling stage, then get rid of it in June when the weather heats up... or not... if stinky gets some clones going for ya)
