There are a couple of gadgets that make cold frames much easier to use.
I would buy a soil warmer cable and an automatic vent opener. The
vent opener will prop open the top a few inches whenever the inside
temperature reaches 70 degrees.

It's more likely to bake them. Cold frames need to be cooled frequently.
Whenever the sun comes out, open it or you fry your plants. Margaret
