I really want to do it with discarded windows, but it seems like everyone is hording their windows or getting to them before me nowadays! Darn economic downturn! Everyone finally getting their re-use on!<br /><br />For now, I just plant in my south facing garden and pray and cover with sheets when needed :)<br /><br />@Scott- Oh you Floridians and your ever present nice weather!

Tighter quarters require less total heat. I use water barrels as a heat sink in my little greenhouse, but nights below freezing still require supplemental heat sources.<br /><br />My mother used to plant late winter crops of lettuce and radishes behind a field terrace that faced south.
