Dug my sweet potatoes yesterday. Curing them in the unheated greenhouse until cured. We are going to be 36 degrees Friday night. My question is will it be too cool for them in there?

They are representative of the larger ones in the crate (there are smaller ones too) - I just picked a large of each that were similarly sized for side-by-side comparison.
If it gets that cold here (and it is predicted to on Sunday night for us), I'll bring mine in from the car (which is where I cure them packed in a box - parked in the sun during the day).

Phila, How beautiful are those!!?? Wow! The purple is stunning. Great job and thank you for sharing pictures. I might try some purples next season.. I still have lot's to learn. I planted Beauregard this year, my first time growing sweet potatoes. They were small potatoes , but at least they produced this far north. We will see what next season brings.Here is this year's sweet potato crop, dug this weekend. The blues are Japanese/Stokes Purple, the whites are O'Henry (which look a lot like conventional potatoes) and the reds are Beauregard. Really thrilled with the purple ones (it is my first year growing them).
