New to List

Hello Everyone, I'm new to this list and new to gardening too.  I retired
from work about 3 years ago and now work at home.  I've finally caught up on
all those little chores that needed doing and I want this year to focus on
some gardening projects.  I don't really know what zone I'm in, I live in
Pitt Meadows, B.C. (lower mainland area of Vancouver, B.C.) I think weather
here is very similiar to Seattle, WA.  I have a small raised vegetable
garden bed that I intend to plant some beans, onions, cucumbers and carrots.
I want to have some tomato and hot and sweet peppers in pots on my back
patio, but my first question is when should I start them indoors here.  I
have a sun room at the back of the house it's not heated though, but once
the plants are strong enough I could move them in there until ready for the
outside.  I have sent for some seed catalogues and have read a few gardening
books but I'm slightly overwhelmed with all that there is to learn.  Any
advice would be appreciated.  Dot
