Plant these vegetables in a small yard: plant once and harvest for months as they keep growing

Most people probably only have a small balcony, and the area isn't large either, at most only four or five square meters. Actually, if used well, the extra two square meters can also be used to grow a few pots of vegetables, and the lush green is quite pleasing to the eye.

If you have a small yard, that is the dream and extravagant hope of the vast majority of people.

Seeing many neighbors and friends living on the first floor with a cozy small yard where they can grow vegetables and flowers, I'm truly envious.

If I had a small yard or a little farmyard, I would fill the yard with vegetables. On Saturdays and Sundays when I'm not busy, I'd wander around my little vegetable garden and take a look, and time would pass leisurely and freely.

What vegetables are good to plant in the yard? First, I would plant tomatoes, which bear fruit and are very easy to care for. You can plant them using the seeds from the small tomatoes bought at the supermarket, and the germination rate is extremely high.

They bear a lot of fruit too. You can eat them as fruit or as a vegetable, and they're also very convenient for making soup.

I want to sow the seeds myself. Even if the process is rather slow, I have enough patience to wait for a tiny seed to sprout into a seedling.

If there's enough space, I would plant a few more pumpkins and cowpeas, letting them cover the yard's walls and railings.

The flowers that pumpkins produce are especially beautiful and dazzling.

I would also plant a sweet potato. Once the sweet potato sprouts, you can just plant it directly in the soil. It will grow many shoots, and you can even pick the leaves to eat.

And what I definitely must plant is chili peppers and Chinese chives, because we often eat these when cooking. For chili peppers, you can plant them using the seeds from red chilies.

Chinese chives grown from chive roots grow very quickly, so you won't have to make a trip to the supermarket or market just because you're out of seasoning, and you can also make many dishes.

I would also plant a small pot of scallions, or a patch of scallions. Planting them from scallion bulbs is faster, they're not prone to pests, and they grow back after you snip them.

If there are potatoes in the kitchen that have sprouted and can't be eaten, I would also plant them in an empty spot in the yard, and maybe I'd harvest a lot of fresh potatoes.

And I would plant flowers while also planting vegetables, and maybe even plant a few fruit trees.
