    The best bet for any type of cold frame or greenhouse, I think, is a minimum-maximum thermometer that helps you track to make sure it's not getting too hot or too cold. They are pretty cheap and they display the minimum and maximum temperatures reached, as well as the current temp. Here is an example among many models available: http://www.amazon.com/SUNSHINE-GARDENHOUSE-Minimum-Maximum-Thermometer/dp/B003YR9U2A

    Good advice from Steve. Be sure to place the thermometer sensor at the level of the leaves, not on the ground.
