In the evening, if the temperature is above zero, you can keep out properly, but it must not be below zero, which should be covered with small arched sheds and grass curtains. During the day, the grass curtain can be opened. After the stem of lettuce begins to expand, the temperature in the shed should be controlled at about 18 degrees during the day. If it exceeds 25 degrees, it should be ventilated in time, and the temperature should be kept above 5 degrees at night.
