Thanks everyone for your comments. I'll be working on it today to hopefully finish up a few of windows and maybe some other elements. I picked up some latches at Habitat for Humanity very cheap for the back door and the windows.

Darla,

Go Craigslisting and start a window collection to build yourself one. Building it yourself is way more economical than buying a kit.

Jodi,

I probably would have been happy to add this to the side of a barn if I had one. At least there you have a wall ready to go! I guess one disadvantage would be that you don't have the light (with no windows) from one side.

Gail,

Ideally I'd love to be ready for that but I'm not sure I can get it fully insulated in time. I have several walls inside that need insulated and sealed. There are little cracks between plywood pieces that will release too much heat if I don't!

Lola,

Thanks! I'll be thrilled when I get the structural elements finally completed and all I have left to do is cosmetic!

I'm starting to think that we need to remove the half-quonset-style greenhouse from the side of the barn and build something like this instead, and this post is urging me more in this direction. Guess I'll see what the spring brings, and meanwhile follow the ongoing adventure here with care.
