Jodi,
 
As many of the  southern growers can attest, it's not the 45 in winter that will nail your plants, it's the 100 in summer. You know, but I'll say it for anyone listening in, that anything around 85 and higher is a problem. It was a major setback for me last summer, my first in NY, that temps in my apartment went to 91--no air in that place. Many of my high priced lilttle guys gave up the ghost...
 
This year (seems a bit cooler), I've got air and the plants are limping through. Don't get me wrong, I've still lost a few but many less than last go around.
 
I think your fridge idea is a good one--you'd have one helluva setup. (55 feet!!)
 
Carlo
