In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), which is known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 Â°C per thousand feet). While there are different tempeâ¦ratures throughout the atmosphere, there are both increases and decreases in it as one moves upwards.
To easily shred romaine lettuce, stack several washed and dried leaves, roll up to form a cylinder and slice crosswise at 1/4- to 1/2-inch intervals. For best results, do not toss lettuce with dressing until just before serving as the dressing wilts the leaves.
To sow lettuce directly in the garden, simply plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep, tamp them down, and water. It's that simple! Space the sowings according to packet directions that are based on the size of the mature lettuce. For example, a crisphead may require a square foot of garden space.
