This video describes a system we have developed to successfully grow lemons and limes in a climate previously considered too cold to successfully grow and ripen citrus outside. Over the last twenty years, lemons and limes planted in the ground against south or west walls at our growing site have consistently provided year-round and abundant harvests of high quality fruits.

Excellent. Well done and perfectly informative video. Thank you!!

vancouver washington and yep tyvm now i Know i can

Interesting. Nothing that a green house wouldn't fix, but the plastic seems to be a cheep way to keep the heat in. We used to use a double plastic to make green houses..., with air between because it stopped heat transfer. Seems to me a great Idea to grow Oranges so they don't have to be imported. Or possibly if enough where grown, they could be exported too.

What a practical solution for dealing with our very occasional cold west coast nights! Thanks for sharing the video!
