Got an old book for you to ask the library for: Winter Flowers in Greenhouse
and Sun Heated Pit: http://www.worldcat.org/title/winter...=brief_results or the original Winter flowersin the sun-heated pit, including the lean-to greenhouse as a complement to the pit: http://www.worldcat.org/title/winter...=brief_results

Exact same principles hold for cold climate winter veggies -- and in high wind
areas, the pit makes a lot of sense.
