      I have a question.  How do this little greenhouses keep things warmer?  
 If it is cold outside wouldn't it be cold inside?

They warm the inside during the day and I cover them with blankets at night.  
The warm ground gives off heat to the plant at night.  Water bottles and a 
soil heating cable can be added to improve this.  You can see the window wall 
structures I use in Don's first book, or at least what's on top, they are 
covered with blankets.  There is enough UV even on a cloudy day to warm them.
