Just like TFogger we used some old sheets and some old beach towels. If this wasn't a rental I would have put up a small greenhouse.
We already have a lot of stuff going in the greenhouse, lettuce and spinach in coldframes, and bucket potatoes going. the wife's corn is already over a foot tall in the greenhouse. We had fresh tomatoes all winter long this year.

Bucket potatoes? Tell me more!
This sounds like fun, are you growing them like this?

Yeah, same basic deal. 5 gallon bucket with drain holes, gravel, weed barrier, 4 inches of soil, plant 2 or 3 seed chunks, keep adding dirt as the shoots start to peek through to keep the potatoes from turning green. Should yield about 40 lbs per bucket by the time the dirt gets to the top.

How much dirt are you putting on top of the shoots? When do you harvest?
We just started these, but they say 1-2 inches over the tops of the shoots, keep covering them as they grow. They like water, but need to be well drained. Harvest when they leaf out after the bucket is filled with dirt (3ish months?).

We have good luck with Green Peppers, Tomatoes and Egg Plants the past couple of years. Beans are always working.

re: Hops...
Once you have trained the first shoots on your trellis, any subsequent shoots from the rhisome can be cut and cooked like asparagus or pickled.
