Newbie to Winter sowing

I came across this method just recently from a couponing website. I tried to read all the FAQ's to see if my questions were already asked.

Last year I began the Square foot gardening method with a raised bed. I didn't do well due to lack of time and money.

I want to start my own veggies and while this method interests me, I don't see why I should do it other than to garden during the winter.

So here's my questions:

1) wasn't there a method of freezing the seed packets in your freezer?

2) How many seeds do you plant in a milkjug? For plants like tomatoes, Cukes, Peas etc?

3) I thought Corn could not be transplanted?

4)Where is the best place to place them? Directly on the ground or can I use a small elevated deck off the second floor of my house?

5) I have only 6 jugs to start with, can I start with them and keep going as I get more? April or May might be the cut off point as the temperature will start to warm

6)It's almost February so I have lost some time but here at the foot of the Adirondacks we might have snow into June. Should I get my act together and get planting?

Thanks

Tim
