On the 2 liter water bottles.... During the daytime, they absorb heat and actually get pretty warm. At night, when the inside of the cold frame cools down, they release that heat, and keeps things from freezing. It's like having a little 120W heater in my cold frame. Doesn't sound like much, but it doesn't take much to keep everything above 35-40F inside that closed space.

Well, that makes a lot of sense about the 2 liter bottles...solar gain and all that. Thanks for the tip.
Yes, sorry, but I’m one of the ones clamoring for the “Cooking book!”

I’ll add for clarification also that when water freezes it put’s out heat.
