This farm came with 2 green houses when we first bought the farm. Over the years, Lijen have built, with the help of friends and WWOOFers, another 4 green houses to make the total of 6. Green house allows leafy vegetables to grow in late fall and early spring. Summer in Vancouver Island is mild, plants like tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers don't grow as ideally if they were not put in the green house. In recent year, Lijen also began planting fruits in the green house, such as figs, peaches, melons, kiwi and grapes.
At this point, not much is happening in the green house yet, but you can still see some stuff going on...
