So my plan is:

1. Put plants in water in the kiddie pool and make a shelter out of
plastic sheeting, uncover when the days are nice and leave open for
the times it may be frosts anticipated or a cold snap. Leave tubs
outside on the south side of garden area. Use the plastic to keep cold
air and frost off them, and plastic to keep in heat from the sun. Open
periodically for an o2/ co2 exchange.

A greenhouse-like structure can cook its contents when the sun shines.
You need shade or ventilation.

2. Put plants in plastic pools and put pools inside one of my outside
sheds, and hang a grow light and possibly a heat lamp for any
anticipated cold snaps.

Sounds good.

3. Just put any containerized plants in about 1 or 2 feet of water
over their crowns in the natural pond and let them over winter there.

Sounds good.
