Do you have a building outside to put it in the prevent those temperature swings. A garage would keep it more even and probably would work at those temps.
 
I agree with Rich - the temps going up and down +- 20* you are working against yourself.

Keep in mind that:

22-26* you need to CS for about 3-4 weeks
26-30* you need to CS for about 4-5 weeks
30-34* you need to CS for about 5-6 weeks

etc, etc..
 
Garage stays at 60 degrees do to my cars.. I have a small out building for the pool pump and heater but its just walls no insulation..
 
That little building would be perfect. It will probably stay in the 20 degree range- ideal. The big thing is not open to the direct outside and no sun so the temps stay more uniform. Do you have a high-low thermometer to check it for a day or two and then use it?
