It's snowing and the roads are freezing.
Today I would like to introduce how to protect vegetables from the cold at Tategamori Ark Farm.

In winter, vegetables can't survive the cold, and they wither, don't sprout, or grow slowly.
There are many types of vegetables that become more delicious when exposed to the cold, and others that become spoiled when exposed to the cold.
For vegetables that are sensitive to the cold or those you want to promote growth, add a tunnel inside the greenhouse and cover it with transparent plastic. The number of plastic sheets, perforations, and thickness vary depending on the vegetable.

Vegetables cannot adjust their own temperature, so people have to adjust the temperature every day.
Open the plastic wrapper on days when the sun is out to ventilate it, and stop covering it if it looks like it's getting too big.
In this way, we monitor the situation of vegetables on a daily basis and manage them according to the characteristics of the vegetables, and finally the vegetables are harvested and shipped to you.

Vegetables grown without succumbing to the cold are delicious. Everyone please try it.
