finally getting the greenhouse :P

There are ways to set up a greenhouse that aid in storing the heat to last further into the night, like lining the back interior wall (northside) with large black barrels filled with water (55 gallon). The color absorbs heat which in turn heats the water, then the heat slowly disperses as the water cools. Of course it won't work here without additional heating methods (In MN they would be giant ice cubes by December) but I have read that in helps a lot in warmer climates. And most of the plans I have seen in action use rainwater collection to fill the barrels, then use the stored water on the plants. It's a pretty neat setup. Also dark natural stone or clay flooring that holds heat.
Another helpful hint, planting deciduous trees nearby that are fully leafed in summer but lose their leaves in the winter will keep the greenhouse in dappled shade when the sun is at it's most brutal (summer) but allow full sun when the temps are at their lowest (winter).
I'm certainly no expert so I can't say what will work for torts in practical application, but I have seen these methods used in gardening and they seem to work.
