Honeycombed Mystery

Obviously these honeycomb structures are some kind of greenhouse. I don’t know how they work since they are open on the ground and open to the top. I also don’t know for what kind of crop. The bad news is: it is a kind of synthetic material or plastic. The good news is: the material is usually rolled up when no longer needed and brought out again the year after.
