Not only fooling the climate but also the seasons. The climate by heating , The season by lighting.
Some grows need a day light lengten for blooming . So they do. For an example : you Poinsettia with Christmas won`t be there without this technique .
Beautiful set of shots in this collage, Pyrrhula. Our farmers use plastic 'glass' houses to get an early crop but if they use them in summer they will kill all the produce with the heat.
@merrelyn We have that choose and possibility .We can buy , once a week, a box with local produce food products. Often with recipes what you can do with it. Delivered at home.
Nice collage showing the extent this practice is now carried out. I sometimes think forced plants do not have the same flavour as the ones that grow naturally in the right season
@pyrrhula Pleased to hear you have the box scheme with the fresh veg. My husband is a partner in a similar scheme in our village/area and we have a 3 polytunnels on our farm which we grow products in. They are not heated (other than by the sun) and the reason we grow in the tunnels is to protect the vegetables from the wild, wet elements of the weather we get.
